Why should managers be thinking about technology policy?
探讨政府技术政策对企业的三种影响：支持应用研究、应对企业基础研究下降、知识产权问题，帮助管理者理解政策的重要性。
Abstract Courses on the management of innovation and technology seldom treat government technology policies, and the issues they pose for business management. This is unfortunate. In many fields business has a big stake in government technology policies. They can help business, be a waste of money, or actually hurt business. This essay considers three broad issues in contemporary technology policy, that are of significant consequence to business: government support of applied research, the question of how to deal with the decline in business‐funded basic research, and the complex questions about intellectual property rights.
