Produktbeschreibung

A more detailed understanding of the interaction between science and technology is necessary in order to develop appropriate tools for future R&D management and technology policy.
The first part of this book describes the structures of the science/technology interface and analyses the role of science for the generation of new technologies and respective institutional problems.
The second part examines the challenges to R&D management and appropriate management tools from the perspective of industrial enterprises.
The third part documents the results of two field studies in the science-intensive areas of medical lasers and neural networks.
The major aim of this book is to bring together the variety of different approaches from an academic and industrial perspective.
