Subject: RE: Cultural differences as it relates to science and technology foresight? ( was RE: Call for Book Chapters
Importance: High
A number of countries have national science and technology foresight programs ie <st1:country-region w:st="on">Japan</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Korea</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Sweden</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Finland</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">New Zealand</st1:country-region>, the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region></st1:place> ( see http://www.foresight.gov.uk/)
I'm looking to see if the motivation to start national, regional or supra-national or sector foresight efforts are based on any cultural differences
See European Foresight Monitoring Network (http://www.efmn.info) ..site is down now though
I can't find any academic research on Proquest or Business Premier Services

Can you direct me to the work that you are talking about. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords in my search
Thanks in advance

Walter, there is a large body of work on culture and science and technology development and innovation. What do you mean by "science and technology foresight"?
Rgds,

Dear Professor Laouisset:<u1:p></u1:p>
I found your email most intriguing. Did you omit <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place> in your chapter list for any reason? I am in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region u2_x003a_st="on" w:st="on">US</st1:country-region></st1:place>, and completed by DBA at Grenoble Ecole de Management in 2006 (I was an older, adult student; age 50 when DBA completed). Along with a co-author from The Netherlands and France, we just had accepted an article that dealt with when cultural differences may foster a tech market in one country that does not exist in another. This article examined the market for presentation technology in the <st1:country-region u2_x003a_st="on" w:st="on">US</st1:country-region> legal market (attorneys) as opposed to the situation in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region u2_x003a_st="on" w:st="on">France</st1:country-region></st1:place> - where because of their legal system and methods of practice, this market does not exist. If this is of interest, or if this topic could be adapted into a chapter - perhaps even as a basis of your chapter 7 or chapter 10, please let me know. I would like to work with you on this, but do not exactly know how to formally proceed with you other than send you this email.<u1:p></u1:p>
Thank you in advance for a reply.<u1:p></u1:p>
