Editor Petti (business management, U. of Salento, Italy) and nine contributors come from differing perspectives to explore many of the basic but important issues in transforming technological
innovation into profit. Authors employ case studies and insights from the field to illustrate the roles of governments, universities, private investors, and companies involved in the
transformation, both in start-up and established companies. The multidisciplinary topics and international approach will be appreciated by those professionals working in technological
entrepreneurship with public and private organizations, particularly those in Europe and emerging economies. The book also may interest educators giving instruction in technology and innovation
management, economics of innovation, and strategic management of technology and innovation. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
