Emerging technologies such as the Internet and biotechnology have the potential to create new industries and transform existing ones. Incumbent firms, despite their superior resources, often lose out to smaller rivals in developing emerging technologies. Why do these incumbents have so much difficulty with disruptive technologies? How can they anticipate and overcome their handicaps? Wharton on Managing Emerging Technologies presents insights, tools, and frameworks from leading busi-ness thinkers based on the research of Wharton's Emerging Technologies Management Research Program. This pioneering industry-academic partnership, established in 1994, is one of the longest and broadest initiatives on the management of emerging technologies. For the first time, this book distills the insights from the program into a single volume for managers, covering a wide range of issues related to the successful management of emerging technologies. The editors contend that managing emerging technologie

An analysis of the lessons learned from tuberculosis control in Shanghai. Tuberculosis Control and Institutional Change in Shanghai, 1911-2011 is the first book on the most widespread and deadly infectious disease in China, both historically and today. Weaving together interviews with data from periodicals and local archives in Shanghai, Rachel Core examines the rise and fall of tuberculosis control in China from the 1950s to the 1990s. Under the socialist work unit system, the vast majority of people had guaranteed employment, a host of benefits tied to their workplace, and there was little mobility--factors that made the delivery of medical and public health services possible in both urban and rural areas. The dismantling of work units amid wider market reforms in the 1980s and 1990s led to the rise of temporary and casual employment and a huge migrant worker population, with little access to health care, creating new challenges in TB control. This study of Shanghai will provide valu

This volume brings together original essays by scholars working on a diverse range of empirical issues, but whose work is in each case informed by a 'historical institutional' approach to the study of politics. By bringing these pieces together, the volume highlights the methodological and theoretical foundations of this approach and illustrates the general contributions it has made to comparative politics. The essays demonstrate the potential of the approach to illuminate a broad range of issues such as how and why institutions change, how political ideas are filtered through institutional structures in the formation of specific policies, and how institutional structure can have unintended effects on the shaping of policy. The reader is provided with both a thorough understanding of the method of analysis and an overview of the theoretical underpinnings of the approach.

城市永續環境行動的美麗，開展於以低碳社區為行動基礎的永續願景，以行動參與者為中心，編織低碳永續家園夢想，並實踐這個美麗的藍圖。本書建構了臺灣在地性的制度分析發展架構（Taiwan Institutional Analysis Development, TW-IAD, Framework），並發現城市永續環境行動參與者種類愈多元，未必有助於行動成果的達成，蓋異質多元參與者類型雖可提升行動樣態的豐富性，但分歧偏好卻使集體共識難以達成，故可能磨損了多元性價值的正面效益。參與者特質屬於志工、環境友善傾向及降低災害風險的實作者，其參與程度有助於環境永續行動成果的實踐。但相對地，公司、企業等營利性質參與者，其參與投入往往不利於低碳永續家園的實踐，故提倡綠色經濟發展及相關產業鏈串聯，實踐綠色經濟價值應為當務之急。
