This book presents emerging technology management approaches and
applied cases from leading infrastructure sectors such as energy,
healthcare, transportation and education. Featuring timely topics
such as fracking technology, electric cars, Google's eco-friendly
mobile technology and Amazon Prime Air, the volume's contributions
explore the current management challenges that have resulted from
the development of new technologies, and present tools,
applications and frameworks that can be utilized to overcome these
challenges. Emerging technologies make us rethink how our
infrastructure will look in the future. Solar and wind generation,
for example, have already changed the dynamics of the power sector.
While they have helped to reduce the use of fossil fuels, they have
created management complications due to their intermittent natures.
Meanwhile, information technologies have changed how we manage
healthcare, making it safer and more accessible, but not without
implications for cost and administration. Autonomous cars are
around the corner. On-line education is no longer a myth but still
a largely unfulfilled opportunity. Digitization of car ownership is
achievable thanks to emerging business models leveraging new
communication technologies. The major challenge is how to evaluate
the relative costs and benefits of these technologies. This book
offers insights from both researchers and industry practitioners to
address this challenge and anticipate the impact of new
technologies on infrastructure now and in the future.
