Understanding and managing disruptive and transformational technologies

Abstract

Major technological changes unleash large-scale social, cultural, economic and political consequences. Digitized computing is the most recent example of disruptive technology; the wheel could be regarded as one of the earliest. MU's collaborative work across all fields - including the social sciences and the humanities - will advance research, education and economic development as scientists and scholars study how current technologies fundamentally change in these rapidly evolving times.
