نویسنده
چکیده
Even without the possibility that reassessment of the nation’s military posture might lead to declines in support for generation of new knowledge in the physical sciences and engineering, the growth of the service economy should suffice to occasion a fresh look at US technology policy.

Those needs lie heavily in the direction of diffusion and learning. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
