Riassunto

Modern technology and innovation are vital to the success of all companies, be they hi-tech firms or companies seemingly unaffected by technology and innovation; whether established firms or business start-ups. This book focuses on understanding technology as a corporate resource, covering product development, design of systems and the managerial aspects of new and high technology. Topics investigated include:

• the internal organization of high technology firms
• the management of technology in society
• managing innovation
• dilemmas and strategies.

The wide-ranging experience of the teachers and experts contributing to this book has resulted in an integrated, multi-disciplinary, textbook that provides an introductory overview to managing technology and innovation in the twenty-first century.

This text is essential reading for students of business and engineering concerned with technology and innovation management.
