Title: Uses and applications of technology futures in national development: The Brazilian experience
Abstract: Abstract Science and technology is increasingly important to national development. In view of the widening international economic and technological gaps, a critical question is the planning and management of science and technology for national development. This paper explores planning theory, the process of technological innovation, and the relevance of future studies to these issues. Four levels of technological innovation planning are identified: national, sectoral, enterprise, and operations. Case studies from the Brazilian experience at each level are presented and analyzed providing the basis of suggestions concerning the uses and applications of technology futures in developing countries.
