Description
Book SynopsisTechnology is not just limited to technology companies, it impacts sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, and security. In the last few decades, countries, too, have started developing technologies or integrating technologies into their systems. As a result, all countries, regardless of size, need to understand the management of engineering and technology concepts.
Digital Transformations reviews fundamentals and applications through existing and emerging technologies all around the world.
Big data availability and the emergence of new tools provide opportunities to detect the emergence of new technologies. Some of the major elements of such analyses include bibliometrics, patent analysis and social network analysis. The authors focus on these three tools and demonstrate their use through applications such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, 3D printing, Wireless Power, Autonomous and Electric Driving, and Smart Homes.
Through the examination of cases based on emerging technologies, the book provides a spectrum of these recent applications and serves as a reference for professionals, researchers and students on fundamentals of technology utilization tools.
Trade Review‘Dr. Tugrul Daim has championed another masterpiece with this manuscript. This book helps transform vital information from the academic world into a blueprint that can be used by government and industry commercial leaders. A true first of its kind, as there is no other manuscript available to help engineering and technology managers navigate through the challenges presented by Digital Transformations.’ -- Matthew L. Tompkins, TC Defense, US
‘The authors introduce the use of statistical methods such as bibliometrics, patent analysis and network analysis to understand trends, connections and leadership in technology innovation and also to identify key issues. Real-world case studies explore an array of innovations in the medical, power, transportation and home appliance fields. This approach illustrates how the techniques are useful while telling the story of some of today’s pivotal innovations.’ -- Fred Gordon, Energy Trust of Oregon, US
