Engineering Intangibles: Technical Employment in the US Service Economy
Engineering occupations coevolved with industries producing material outputs: mining, construction, manufacturing. Yet wealthy economies have long been moving toward intangible services, the products of industries including finance, wholesale and retail trade, entertainment, travel and transportation, health care, and the public sector (including, e.g. much of education). For the United States the shift is evident in statistical data going back w…
Rethinking innovation for decarbonizing energy systems
Biofuel battles: Politics, policy, and the pentagon
To the Editor
To the Editor John A. Alic Christopher Gainor’s useful article “The Atlas and the Air Force: Reassessing the Beginnings of America’s First Intercontinental Ballistic Missile” adds to our knowledge of this program.1 But his argument lacks a vital prop. The first sentence in Gainor’s conclusion reads: “This study has shown that the U.S. Air Force moved ahead with its first ICBM, the Atlas, in 1954—and not before—because it took the creation of ther…
Managing US Defense Acquisition
Management in government differs fundamentally from private sector management, the more so in defense, which differs from other US government missions in that very large sums are spent on high-technology systems and equipment to meet the unknowable contingencies of an uncertain future. Because of technological complexity, the difficulties of program selection, contracting, and oversight exceed those in other parts of government. An underappreciat…

Beyond Spinoff: Military and Commercial Technologies in a Changing World
In the past the USA has relied upon from its massive defence research and development spending to enrich commercial technology. In an era when US industry enjoyed a commanding lead over its international competitors, such spinoff was thought to be enough. But in today's globally competitive economy, a more direct approach is better suited to the needs of commercial markets. This book examines how the government and the private sector can boost Am…
