His interests encompass science and technology policy, economic and regional development, innovation management and policy, industrial competitiveness, technology trajectories and assessment, innovation measurement, and policy evaluation.Prof. Shapira currently directs research programs on nanotechnology research and innovation systems assessment (as part of the Center for Nanotechnology in Society CNS-ASU ) and on organizational influences on highly creative scientific research .Prof. Shapira is the author or co-author of more than 50 journal articles, 30 book chapters, numerous professional and policy studies, and several monographs and edited volumes. He is one of the founders of the Forum on Innovations in Economic Development at Georgia Tech, which brings together faculty, students, economic developers, and policymakers to discuss leading-edge ideas and practices in economic development and innovation policy.
內容簡介：
This presentation explores relationships of research and innovation in an emerging technology – focusing on nanotechnology. The question of whether there is a paradox between nanotechnology's promise and realization is disaggregated and examined. Evidence is drawn from work undertaken by Shapira, Youtie and colleagues at Georgia Tech in tracking nanotechnology research and commercialization as part of the Research and Innovation Systems Assessment group of the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University. This includes the large-scale analysis of global publications, patents and corporate entry in nanotechnology and assessments of the pace of transition and processes of adoption for next generation nanotechnology materials and systems. Implications from this research will be drawn for the anticipatory management and governance of nanotechnology and other emerging technologies.
