Description

In light of the new techno-socio-economic conditions generated by the information and communication technology revolution, Santangelo (U. of Catania, Italy) investigates the impact of the new pervasive and complex technologies on the nature of corporate technological development. His analysis is grounded in the evolutionary tradition, and addresses questions related to managing corporate technological portfolios as well as to the location of corporate research activity. He also uses patent statistics to provide an empirical analysis in terms of both sectoral specialization and the geographical location of corporate technology between 1969 and 1995.
