In doing so many key questions are critically examined. Where can we find successful examples of IT policy? Who has shaped policy? Who did governments turn to for advice in framing policy? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeveral chapters outline the impact of military influence on IT. What is the precise nature of this influence on IT development? How closely were industry leaders linked to government programs and to what extent were these programs, particularly those aimed at the generation of 'national champions', misconceived through undue special pleading? How effective were government personnel and politicians in assessing the merits of programs predicated on technological trajectories extrapolated from increasingly complex and specialized information? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will be of interest to academics and graduate students of Management Studies, History, Economics, and Technology Studies, and Government and Corporate policy makers engaged with technology policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Coopey\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Research Fellow at the Business History Unit, London School of Economics, where he has been working since 1996 on the Warwick\/LSE ESRC-funded project on IT policy history in postwar Britain.
