This book presents emerging technology management approaches and applied cases from leading infrastructure sectors such as energy, healthcare and transportation. Featuring timely topics such as fracking technology, electric cars, Google's eco-friendly mobile technology and Amazon Prime Air, the enclosed contributions explore the current management challenges that have derived from new technologies in different sectors and provide the tools, applications and frameworks that can be utilized to overcome those challenges. Emerging technologies make us rethink how our infrastructure will look in the future. Solar and wind generation have already changed the power sector. While they helped us to eliminate use of fossil fuels, they complicated the management due to their intermittent natures. Information technologies have changed how we manage healthcare making it safer and more effective. However this is only the beginning. Several new technologies are emerging with potential to impact the way we do business in many sectors building our infrastructure from energy to healthcare as well as from transportation to education. Autonomous cars are around the corner. On line education is no longer a myth but still an unfulfilled opportunity. Digitization of car ownership is happening in front of our eyes thanks to emerging business models leveraging new communication technologies. The major challenge is how to evaluate these technologies. This book provides the tools and frameworks in which to evaluate new technologies to better anticipate their impact on current and future infrastructures.
