Classes of socio-technical hazards allow a characterization of the risk in technology innovation and clarify the mechanisms underpinning emergent technological risk.Emerging Technological Riskprovides an interdisciplinary account of risk in socio-technical systems including hazards which highlight:
- How technological risk crosses organizational boundaries,
- How technological trajectories and evolution develop from resolving tensions emerging between social aspects of organisations and technologies and
- How social behaviour shapes, and is shaped by, technology.
Addressing an audience from a range of academic and professional backgrounds,Emerging Technological Riskis a key source for those who wish to benefit from a detail and methodical exposure to multiple perspectives on technological risk. By providing a synthesis of recent work on risk that captures the complex mechanisms that characterize the emergence of risk in technology innovation,Emerging Technological Riskbridges contributions from many disciplines in order to sustain a fruitful debate.
Emerging Technological Riskis one of a series of books developed by the Dependability Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
