Technological innovations specifically have and will continue to advance civilization, shape modern society, and drive the economic health and geo-political standing of nations. This book offers a unique interpretation of science, technology & innovation (STI) policies in Western nations, particularly in regard to government-sponsored programs. The author challenges established thinking, directly addressing numerous myths that cloud our understanding of innovation and proposes a fresh perspective grounded in fundamental logic and analysis. Written in short chapters and presented in an alphabetically organized framework, this book addresses what is working and what isn?t working in current STI policies and suggests that the most efficient and effective way to generate technological innovations that yield the desired socio-economic benefits, is for national governments to sponsor directed scientific research and directed engineering development, and align both with the requirements of carefully managed commercial production. The book also features examples drawn from government data, scholarly literature, practitioner anecdotes and the author?s personal experience. 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aKnowledge management 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 606 $aKnowledge Management 606 $aEconomics of Innovation 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 0$aKnowledge management. 615 14$aInnovation and Technology Management. 615 24$aKnowledge Management. 615 24$aEconomics of Innovation. 676 $a338.926 676 $a509.1821 700 $aLane$b Joseph P.$01380323 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736026303321 996 $aThe ABC's of Science, Technology & Innovation (STI) Policy$94450880 997 $aUNINA
