A Toolkit for Integrated Roadmaps: Employing Nanotechnologies in Water and Wastewater Treatment
P. 137–159.
Integrated roadmaps can be effective instruments for forecasting and planning in the sphere of emerging technologies, as long as certain requirements are fulfilled. These requirements include: (1) the creation of a group of experts who can provide the necessary level of expertise concerning key issues related to the development of the subject area; (2) accumulation of a sufficient background information; (3) establishing an adequate sequence of Foresight methods, integrating those that are more of creative, interactive, expert- and evidence-based methods; (4) Integrating consideration of both market- pull and technology-push approaches, and (5) recognising the different kinds of effects that may be associated with implementing various new technologies. We illustrate this with the case of wastewater treatment. Roadmapping allows for the elaboration of comprehensive innovation strategies, both for short-run time frames (focusing on the commercialization of products with high market readiness), and for longer-term strategies for water sector development. The methodology allows for examining both the direct and indirect effects of the implementation of emerging technologies in the area studied, and makes it possible to outline possible future developments of the technologies considered in related sectors. The main limitation of the method as currently used may be that it is difficult to give sufficient consideration to the indirect effects of using innovative technologies, when we are dealing with fields that feature many interfaces across the economy.

The article proposes a syntagmatic analysis of three historically constituted regimes for working with the future: linear determination, statistical branching, and loop reconfiguration. A syntagm is understood as an event-operation that exists only in its performance and simultaneously binds material, semiotic, and pragmatic registers. The analysis proceeds not as an intellectual history but as an ...

World Investment Report 2020 by UNCTAD identified several possible trajectories of development for many industries, namely re-shoring, regionalization, diversification, and replication. We argue that those trajectories of development may result in changes to prevailing corporate parenting styles and may also lead to the emergence of less common parenting styles. We present a typology of corporate ...
