Technology Innovation: Models, Dynamics, and Processes

Technology Innovation discusses the fundamental aspects of processes and structures of technology innovation. It offers a new perspective concerning fundamentals aspects not directly involved in the complex relations existing between technology and the socio-economic system.

By considering technology and its innovation from a scientific point of view, the book presents a novel definition of technology as a set of physical, chemical and biological phenomena, producing an effect exploitable for human purposes. Expanding on the general model of technology innovation by linking the model of technology, based on a structure of technological operations, with the models of the structures for technology innovation, based on organization of fluxes of knowledge and capitals, the book considers various technological processes and the stages of the innovation process.

• Explains a novel definition of technology as a set of physical, chemical and biological phenomena producing an effect exploitable for human purposes
• Discusses technology innovation as result of structures organizing fluxes of knowledge and capitals
• Provides a technology model simulating the functioning of technology with its optimization
• Presents a technology innovation model explaining the territorial technology innovation process
• Offers a perspective on the evolution of technology in the frame of an industrial platform network

The book is intended for academics, graduate students and technology developers who are involved in operations management and research, innovation and technology development.

《科技創新》討論了科技創新的過程和結構的基本方面。它提供了一個關於科技與社會經濟體系之間複雜關係中未直接涉及的基本方面的新觀點。

通過從科學的角度考慮技術及其創新，本書提出了一個新的技術定義，即一組物理、化學和生物現象，產生可為人類目的利用的效果。通過將技術模型（基於技術操作結構）與技術創新結構模型（基於知識和資本流動的組織）相結合，擴展了技術創新的一般模型，本書考慮了各種技術過程和創新過程的階段。

• 解釋了一個新的技術定義，即一組物理、化學和生物現象，產生可為人類目的利用的效果


• 討論了技術創新作為組織知識和資本流動的結構結果


• 提供了一個模擬技術運作及其優化的技術模型


• 介紹了一個解釋地區技術創新過程的技術創新模型


• 提供了一個關於技術在工業平台網絡框架中演變的觀點

本書適用於從事運營管理和研究、創新和技術開發的學者、研究生和技術開發人員。

Angelo Bonomi obtained a doctorate in Industrial Chemistry of the University of Milan in 1969. In 1970, he joined the Geneva Research Centre of Battelle Memorial Institute for R&D projects and scientific research in electrochemistry. In 1980, he shifted to studies on technology assessments and trends. In 1988, he joined a start-up in France for contract research and generation of start-ups. In 1993, he was consultant for technological innovation in Italian industrial districts and for urban waste treatments and environmental protection. His major contribution was in the foundation of Consortium Ruvaris, a consortium for cooperation in R&D of about 20 firms producing taps and valves. From 2001 to 2004, he taught technology innovation management at SUPSI (Switzerland). Since 2013, he has collaborated as Senior Research Associate at IRCrES, Research Institute on Sustainable Economic Growth of the National Research Council of Italy, for studies on technology innovation and territorial innovation systems. He is author of the book Technology Dynamics (CRC Press, 2020) and three chapters about models of technology and its innovation in the book, Innovation Economics, Engineering and Management Handbook, edited by Prof. Uzunidis and coworkers of the French University of Littoral (ISTE-Wiley, 2021). His research activity is reported on his personal site www.complexitec.org.

Angelo Bonomi於1969年獲得米蘭大學工業化學博士學位。1970年，他加入了巴特爾紀念研究所日內瓦研究中心，從事電化學的研發項目和科學研究。1980年，他轉向技術評估和趨勢研究。1988年，他加入了法國的一家初創公司，從事合同研究和初創企業的產生。1993年，他擔任意大利工業區的技術創新顧問，並參與城市廢物處理和環境保護項目。他最重要的貢獻是在合作研發聯盟Ruvaris的創立上，該聯盟由約20家生產水龍頭和閥門的公司組成。2001年至2004年，他在瑞士SUPSI教授技術創新管理課程。自2013年以來，他作為意大利國家研究委員會可持續經濟增長研究所（IRCrES）的高級研究員，參與技術創新和地區創新系統的研究。他是《Technology Dynamics》（CRC Press，2020）一書的作者，並在《Innovation Economics, Engineering and Management Handbook》（ISTE-Wiley，2021）一書中撰寫了三章關於技術模型及其創新的內容，該書由Uzunidis教授和法國利托勒大學的同事編輯。他的研究成果可以在他的個人網站www.complexitec.org上找到。
