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.
