20.500.12556/DKUM-26019 Absorptive and transformative capacities in nanotechnology innovation systems We identify managerial challenges offered by an emergent nanotechnology innovation system in which knowledge is dispersed, asymmetric and contested. We argue the proposed models of knowledge absorption and transformation enhance existing theories of knowledge and emergent technology by recognizing how and why knowledge flows among the actors in emergent technology innovationsystem. We base our argument on combined research evidence from a Delphi study concerning the future of European manufacturing, from which a selected statement has been analyzed, and from analysis of the NanoManufacturing Institute at Leeds University, UK; specifically its work in building ties between different actors associated with nanotechnology. We conclude our paper with suggestions for future research. technology management nanotehnology innovation systems knowledge flows absorptive capacity transformative capacity tehnološki management nanotehnologija inovatvni sistemi znanje pretok znanja true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2012-05-31 11:40:34 2012-05-31 11:40:34 2022-04-15 03:40:38 2023-12-31 03:31:11 2007 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 005 11887638 0923-4748 URN:SI:UM:DK:LKCWLOJ3 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jengtecman.2007.09.007 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=34919 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
