networks, it maps the contributions of academic institutions, established multinationals, and entrepreneur firms in environmental, material, and related life sciences. It then develops a model of strategy and governance for organizations to invest in and implement new environmental material science projects. This book provides researchers with a framework based on management theories of R&D and resource allocation for resolving urban issues. Ellie Okada long served as a professor of management who continues to specialize in management theory. Former visiting scholar at Harvard University’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and Columbia Business School, she worked for a research university in Japan, Yokohama National University, as a tenured full professor for over 24 years. She is Senior Academic Fellow, President, and Founder of the Boston Cancer Policy Institute, a research institute of management in new social science. |
