Managing Emerging Technologies for Socio-Economic Impact is an important contribution to both the literature and practice of managing emerging technology. Importantly, this book not only considers the economic impact but also the wider societal impact and benefit. It is recommended reading for all those who aspire to steward emergent technologies into reality.' - Martin Curley, Vice President, Director, Intel Labs Europe, Intel Corporation'This book offers a series of fascinating studies about the emergence of new technologies in different eco-systems of university-industry-government relations.' - Loet Leydesdorff, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands 'The chapters in this exciting new book explore the ways in which new technologies emerge, develop and are then commercialized. The chapters, many of which are by exciting young European scholars, are both theoretically and empirically sophisticated. If the reader is interested in how emerging technologies create socio-economic impact, this book will provide them with unique new insights. I recommend the book to all readers.'- Martin Kenney, University of California, Davis, US The development of emerging technologies demands a rapidly expanding knowledge base and intensive collaboration across organizational, institutional and cultural borders. This book is the first of its kind to focus on the management of key emerging technologies and their social and economic impact in Europe. Split into four parts, across 17 chapters, the scholars offer multiple levels of analysis concerning the management of emerging technologies across various sectors ranging from nanotechnology, renewable energy and cloud computing to synthetic biology and particle therapy for cancer. They present their research findings in critical areas including: - organizational capabilities for technological innovation in key enabling technologies - collaboration and networking to shape their emergence and progression - strategic challenges for policy makers who influence the sustainable and responsible development of emerging technologies - how such technologies affect work and communication practices in a variety of organizational settings. This book is a must-read for innovation practitioners, academics and policy makers who take interest in the on going debate about how to shape innovation policy and manage emerging technologies.

New Product Development (NPD) is about the ideation, formulation, and implementation of new and superior solutions in the market. Beyond the obvious need for organizations to innovate in order to compete, embedded in any NPD program are knowledge, technological expertise, and the social networks that convert these capabilities into offerings that create value at every level-for customers, industries, communities, and regions. This volume provides an array of knowledge perspective in NPD across multiple levels of analysis and geographic regions, including Europe, the United States, China, Japan, and India, to explore the dynamics of NPD in today's global environment. Presenting case studies from such industries as ICT services, semiconductors, software development, bio-technology, higher education, and even safety for children's toys, and drawing from a variety of theoretical perspectives, including technology and knowledge management, sociology, economic geography, and organizational behavior, the authors highlight critical success and failure factors in NPD. Among the topics covered: New product development teams, including multi-functional and multi-site teams De-localization and off-shoring of tasks and processes Individual competencies and organizational capabilities University-industry interactions, high-tech clusters, and technology transfer Technology policy

This book focuses on profiling, analysing, benchmarking and modelling in socio-economic terms, the ways that creativity, invention and innovation flourish. The work is based on comparative, conceptual and empirical research of 15 American, European and Asian knowledge-based innovation networks and knowledge clusters. It highlights critical success and failure factors, and the lessons learned about entrepreneurial initiatives, outcomes and impacts. It identifies and articulates insights that inform both public sector policies and private sector practices to render them more effective and efficient.
