In recent decades, government-funded technologies have produced
radar, microwave ovens, modern cell phone systems, the Internet,
new materials for aircraft and motor vehicles, and new medical
instrumentation. This first-of-its-kind book examines how access to
technology is affected by government policies and
government-sponsored programs. Government Policy and Program
Impacts on Technology Development, Transfer, and Commercialization:
International Perspectives provides an easy-to-read overview of the
field and several studies serving as examples to guide government
policymakers and private sector decision makers. This
forward-looking book also forecasts the potential impacts of
government regulation upon the field and presents provocative
discussions of the ethical implications of the cross-cultural and
cross-national challenges facing technologically developed nations
in the global economy. This book reviews this broad field by first
providing an overview of the goals of government technology
policies and programs as well as of generic types of government
technology programs. Next, it presents carefully selected studies
that illustrate the potential impacts of government decisions upon
marketing constraints, industry acceptance of regulatory
requirements, economic development, gross domestic product, and the
choices firms make when it comes to location, competitiveness,
product development, and other factors. The final chapters explore
ethical considerations from a global perspective. These chapters
also explore the implications of these considerations in relation
to the success of governmental and private sector technology
transfer and commercialization programs. The macromarketing
perspective taken by the contributors serves to ground the impacts
of government technology policies and programs in practical
implications for economic development, business productivity, and
quality of life. The contributors to this unique collection share
their expertise on government sponsorship of technology research,
the impact of government regulation upon technology marketing and
economic development, the effects of government policies on
business practices, intellectual property rights, and much more.
