Biographical note
Edited by Dimitris G. Assimakopoulos, Professor of Technology and Innovation Management, Grenoble Ecole de Management, LINC Lab, France, Ilan Oshri, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and Krsto Pandza, Professor of Strategy and Innovation, Leeds University Business School, UK<i>‘Throughout the world, technological innovation is often viewed as a magic wand that governments, university, industry, and nongovernmental organizations hope will lead to societal and economic impact. Yet understanding the process that will lead to optimal impact is a continuing challenge. In </i>Managing Emerging Technologies for Socio-Economic Impact,<i>the editors bring together scholars from several related fields in the hope of making sense of it all. . . . this book provides an interesting overview of the state of knowledge in the field and emphasizes the need for more interaction of industry, government, and business policy-makers with academics to both identify key questions they have and to test the utility of current analyses.’</i>
- Deborah D. Stine, Science and Public Policy,

<i>‘The chapters in this exciting new book explore the ways in which new technologies emerge, develop and are then commercialized. The chapters, many of which are by exciting young European scholars, are both theoretically and empirically sophisticated. If the reader is interested in how emerging technologies create socio-economic impact, this book will provide them with unique new insights. I recommend the book to all readers’</i>
