Abstract: The analysis of future development of an emerging technology, e.g. nanotechnology, by experts has been criticized in the literature for the over-optimism they possess. A more balanced approach would be to take choices of the ordinary people and the effects of the environmental factors into consideration during this process. Prior work on willingness-to-buy for nanotechnology products has indicated that attitudes and beliefs of individuals may have a significant influence on the social acceptance process.
