Riassunto

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.
