Ove Granstrand has provided an extensive summary of the chapters and their implications for policy and future research. His philosophical reflections are particularly intriguing in terms of teaching technology to engineering and management students. This is indeed an important contribution in the field of economics of technology...should be a required reading for all students of technology. IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management The volume is accessible and well written. Journal of Economics ... the book is a successful attempt to provide insights into old and new questions in the field, and it is a 'must' for those who would like to know where we are and where we are going in technology studies. Research Policy

The economics of technology has recently become established as a fast growing subject field. It commands a rapidly increasing interest, also among a new generation of scholars and students, catering to the old need to bridge the gap between economics and technology in practice. This volume attempts to give an historic and current overview of economics of technology as a field, and to contribute to its development by bringing together original contributions from internationally highly recognised and representative specialists in economics and technology studies, thereby reflecting the state-of-the-art. The volume also gives extensive summaries of developments in the field and outlines directions for further research and teaching.
