The Contribution of Technology to Added Value addresses not only this issue of definition but also provides a production model to assess the value contribution of technology within the production process. A clarification  of fundamental semantics  provides a significant taxonomy for technology dependence, and allows understanding and modeling of how knowledge, technology and capital individually contribute to production and to value adding. A new technology dependence taxonomy is proposed and assessed following chapters explaining growth models, the KTC model and technology index values. Balancing theoretical knowledge with real-world data and applications The Contribution of Technology to Added Value clarifies the issue of value adding for a range of different viewpoints and purposes; from academic to industry and service across engineering, economics and management.  . 606 $aEngineering 606 $aEngineering design 606 $aEngineering economy 615 0$aEngineering. 615 0$aEngineering design. 615 0$aEngineering economy. 676 $a620 676 $a620.0042 676 $a658.5 676 $a658.514 700 $aFernandes$b Antonio S.
