Ex ante evaluation and technology assessment — two emerging elements of technology policy evaluation

Frieder Meyer-Krahmer and Thomas Reiss

Research Evaluation, 1992, vol. 2, issue 1, 47-54

Abstract: Ex ante evaluations of government programmes promoting R&D are rare: this is a serious deficit since no systematic basis for decision making is formed. Here, concepts and methods of programme evaluations are described, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of evaluation research. The technometrics approach is presented as a method of evaluation of biotechnology R&D which contributes to ex ante evaluations. Finally, an example is presented of the way in which technology assessment can be combined with programme evaluation. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
