‘Throughout the world, technological innovation is often viewed as a magic wand that governments, university, industry, and nongovernmental organizations hope will lead to societal and economic impact. Yet understanding the process that will lead to optimal impact is a continuing challenge. In Managing Emerging Technologies for Socio-Economic Impact,the editors bring together scholars from several related fields in the hope of making sense of it all. . . . this book provides an interesting overview of the state of knowledge in the field and emphasizes the need for more interaction of industry, government, and business policy-makers with academics to both identify key questions they have and to test the utility of current analyses.’
