Drawing on empirical and theoretical methodologies, the Companion outlines the impact of technological innovation and its life cycles on education, the environment, governance, and supply chain management. Chapters evaluate real-world cases from countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea, analyzing the role and evolution of key technological industries, including semiconductors and electric cars. International contributors examine both micro and macro-level developments across multiple generations of innovation, culminating in insights on how artificial intelligence might shape the future of humanity.

Adopting a multidisciplinary and humanity-centered perspective, the Elgar Companion to Technology Life Cycles is an essential resource for scholars and students of development economics, economics of innovation, science and technology studies, and sustainable development. It is also highly relevant to policymakers and stakeholders across both private and public sectors seeking to understand, manage, and advance technological innovation.
