Sociotechnical alignment in biomedicine: The 3D bioprinting market beyond technology convergence

Technology in Society, 2021, vol. 66, issue C

Abstract: The nature of hybrid technologies has been frequently interpreted with the concept of technology convergence. However, this concept tends to highlight only technical aspects of technology and market evolution. In order to provide a more comprehensive picture, the concept of sociotechnical alignment is explored here.
