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 technologiescollaboration and networking to shape their emergence and progressionstrategic challenges for policy makers who influence the sustainable and responsible development of emerging technologieshow 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.Contributors: A.

‘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.’
