It is deemed that advances in emergent-technologies such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, information & communication technologies and green engineering offer opportunities to address acute challenges in areas such as health, energy, environment, agriculture, transport, security and Education. While the enablers of emerging technologies have mainly been studied from technological innovations viewpoint, it is not clear what role non- technical factors play in the efficient management of emerging technologies. In this regard, this track seeks to explore and advance understanding of the relationships between organizational, management and technological innovation in the context of emerging technologies. We are interested in both conceptual and empirical studies as well as the application of a variety of theoretical perspectives, yet with the emphasis on non-technical drivers that shape the development of emergent technologies. Some of the specific themes that are of interest in this track are: - The relationship between technological, organizational and management innovation; - New organizational structures, processes and business models in emerging technologies; - Absorptive and transformative capacity to manage emergent technologies; - Entrepreneurial and managerial agency in the context of emergent technologies; - Impact of emergent technologies on established industrial networks; - Impact of social networks on emerging technologies; - Impact of social media on emerging technologies; - Knowledge and learning issues in the management of emerging technologies; - Institutional factors that shape technology policy. Keywords: emerging technologies, management, innovation Author Guidelines and Formatting Instructions: Below is a set of guidelines and formatting instructions to help you prepare and submit your paper.
