Technological forecasting - a brief note

Some of my Engineering and IT mgt students have adopted dissertation topics that involve technological forecasting efforts, see technology forecasting. In this case, you need to be aware of the relevant literature. The academic journal of Technological Forecasting and Social Change is highly relevant  for your literature review. Other  related works could be Touhill et al (2008),  Dodgson (2003), which is on technological innovation, Carayannnis (2001), which deals with the topic of technological learning, and Brauun (2004), which examines technology assessment. Besides, I suggest you to take a look at the technology acceptance model.
