Digital Entrepreneurship in Science, Technology and Innovation explores digitalization in various spheres of life with a focus on business models, scientific research, entrepreneurship, and sustainability.The current wave of digitalization coupled with AI represents a new technological revolution demanding a complex interplay of technological advances, new organizational and management structures, education, and considerations of ethical and cultural principles. Contributing authors expand on existing understandings of this nexus by examining the concepts of digital business models and entrepreneurship as well as value creation processes and policy perspectives. Particular focus is placed on the relationship between sustainable development goals (SDGs) and digital technologies. Ultimately, this forward-thinking book highlights the relationship between digitalization and AI and its impact on key areas such as electric vehicles, healthcare, and innovation.This book is a fundamental resource for students and academics in science and technology studies, international business, entrepreneurship, the economics of innovation, and information systems. Its in-depth analysis of digital technologies and AI systems will also be of benefit to professionals working in business and management and the technology industries.

This timely Handbook explores how the trajectory of technology can be predicted and strategically prepared for. It provides insight into the value and application of forecasting and roadmapping, covering foundational theories, method taxonomies and established approaches such as foresight and scenario planning.Leading experts examine how the rise of data-driven methods, including patent analysis and bibliometrics, enables earlier identification of trends and innovations, as well as how emerging tools such as AI and machine learning are transforming the accuracy and responsiveness of forecasting. The Handbook presents two unique projects which outline the process of creating relevant technology roadmaps. Contributing authors also showcase outcomes from international collaborative projects, demonstrating how different forecasting tools and collaborative methods can enhance future decision-making.The Handbook of Technological Forecasting and Roadmapping is a valuable resource for scholars and students of organisational innovation, the economics of innovation, industrial economics, technology and ICT, and science and technology studies. It is also beneficial for policymakers, regulators, government officials and technology managers looking to plan and anticipate future technological developments.

IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society Body of Knowledge (TEMSBOK) IEEE TEMS Board of Directors-approved body of knowledge dedicated to technology and engineering management The IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society Body of Knowledge (TEMSBOK) establishes a set of common practices for technology and engineering management, acts as a reference for entrepreneurs, establishes a basis for future official certifications, and summarizes the literature on the management field in order to publish reference documentation for new initiatives. The editors have used a template approach with authors that instructed them on how to introduce their manuscript, how to organize the technology and area fundamentals, the managing approach, techniques and benefits, realistic examples that show the application of concepts, recommended best use (focusing on how to identify the most adequate approach to typical cases), with a summary and conclusion of each section, plus a list of references for further study. The book is structured according to the following area knowledge chapters: business analysis, technology adoption, innovation, entrepreneurship, project management, digital disruption, digital transformation of industry, data science and management, and ethics and legal issues. Specific topics covered include: Market requirement analysis, business analysis for governance planning, financial analysis, evaluation and control, and risk analysis of market opportunitiesLeading and managing working groups, optimizing group creation and evolution, enterprise agile governance, and leading agile organizations and working groupsMarketing plans for new products and services, risk analysis and challenges for entrepreneurs, and procurement and collaborationProjects, portfolios and programs, economic constraints and roles, integration management and control of change, and project plan structureThe IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society Body of Knowledge (TEMSBOK) will appeal to engineers, graduates, and professionals who wish to prepare for challenges in initiatives using new technologies, as well as managers who are responsible for conducting business involving technology and engineering.

This volume explores emerging models, methods and tools in the management of research and development (R&D) in the knowledge era, with a particular focus on the challenges of the emerging technologies. The contributions are organized in five parts. Part I, Managing Emerging Technologies, provides methods and tools to understand the challenges created by the emergence of new technologies. Part II, Technology and Engineering Management Tools and Policies, explores different technology and engineering tools, including topics such as product concept development, design, selection and adoption, using technology roadmaps and bibliometrics. Part III, Technological Innovation and Entrepreneurship, explores R&D, knowledge transfer and entrepreneurial education. Part IV, Commercialization of Technological Innovations, explores the development and application of the technology transfer process which allows managers to succeed in commercializing the outcomes of R&D projects. Part V,Managing the Engineering Enterprise, explores the effect economic decision-making, leadership styles, change management and quality management have on an organization’s ability to plan and execute initiatives and projects. Research and Development has always played a critical role in the engineering and technology focused industries. In an era of big data and smart applications, knowledge has become a key enabler for R&D. Managing R&D in the knowledge era requires use of key tools and methods. However, emerging technologies pose many challenges and cause uncertainties or discontinuities, which make the task of managing R&D even more difficult. This book will examine these challenges and provide tools and methods to overcome them. Exploring such industries as automotive, healthcare, business intelligence, energy and home appliances, this book is a valuable resource for academics, scholars, professionals and leaders in innovation, R&D, technology, and engineering management.

Although most universities could be considered bureaucrat organizations, the accumulated knowledge reveals that universities try to adapt their core activities and technological innovation processes to face the current socio-economic challenges. This book explores the ways in which universities have re-built multiple capabilities to support the development of applied innovation and manage new technologies. Concretely, this book (1) theoretically addresses the university managers’ view for re-building university capabilities due to the public policy agendas demands; and (2) empirically addresses the documentation of experiences and strategies adopted by universities in different contexts to achieve public policy agendas. These universities strategies include re-build entrepreneurial, innovative, digital, and sustainable capabilities. This book encourages researchers, scholars, academics, students and policy makers to re-think how universities are expanding equal opportunities relatedto high-quality higher education, innovative/entrepreneurial graduate options, and contributing to sustainable societal advance and well-being through research and community engagement.
