Description
Commercializing High Technologies: East and West discusses key issues in the problems and opportunities of technology transfer that today confront both Russia and the United States. In the wake of the Cold War and dwindling state support, research and development firms now more than ever need to access the market potential of their substantial and often cutting edge technologies. The essays in this book examine the organizational, managerial and practical implications of pursuing a policy of technology transfer in government/defense research sectors, the commonalities and differences between the two countries, as well as the sizable and varying risks involved and even the greater risk involved of ignoring the problems posed.
