Challenges in the Management of New Technologies

Edited by Marianne Hörlesberger, Mohamed El-Nawawi and Tarek Khalil

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: New developments in bio- and nanotechnologies and also in information and communication technologies have shaped the research environment in the last decade. Increasingly, highly educated experts in R&D departments are collaborating with scientists and researchers at universities and research institutes to develop new technologies. Transnational companies that have acquired various firms in different countries need to manage diverse R&D strategies and cultures. The new knowledge-based economy permeates across companies, universities, research institutes and countries, creating a cross-disciplinary, global environment. Clearly, managing technology in this new climate presents significant challenges.
