INTRODUCTION
Emerging technologies are considered as the new technologies that may be currently
developing or going to be developed within the coming period. Innovations in these technologies
means new features or products along with their significant changes. It can be implemented only
if it has been introduced to the market.
Emerging technologies and innovation in the public sector
Emerging technologies in the public sector leads to more agile and strong governmental
infrastructures (Gil-Garcia, Helbig and Ojo, 2014). The process includes various internal as well
as external factors such as machine intelligence, architectures, smart platforms, data and
analytics etc. These all leads to the development of public or governmental bodies.
(Source : Emerging technologies for public sector, 2017)
The originality of this approach can be based by the specific governmental structure.
There has been no agreement yet in terms of its factors and the ways in which it leads to
the innovation in the public sector.

Illustration 1: Emerging technologies for public sector

In the literature, it was proposed that no issue of notice or agreement has done in order to
the emerging technologies and their impact in the public sector. This is a useful problem as
development of these new technologies can help in maximizing the growth of the governmental
bodies. The article tells about the importance of smart cities, openness etc. The article gives the
views on the concept of smart government and an illustration of practices to accomplish it.
The article contributes to the concept of smart cities and emerging technologies, but did
not included the ways which can help in the actual contribution.
The aim of this literature is to maximize the rate of success in the public/ governmental
sectors by emerging new technologies along with the innovative features.
The Nasty effect and Risk perceptions of emerging technologies.
It considers the ways in which the public communicates with a particular type of people ,
uncivil audience in the formation of perceptions of risk for an emerging technology.
These perspectives considers the political, social and environmental factors along with
the individual factors like cognition levels etc.
Past scholarship has been used for measurement of self perceived familiarity with
nanotechnology. As per Anderson and et.al, (2014), issue familiarity was also proved useful as it
acted as a heuristic that has higher level of confidence.
Incivility was a major issue in the article. The increasingly uncivil behaviour of people
acted as a reason for the incivility
The literature enriched public deliberation. Involvement of Online incivility also impeded
the democratic goal.
Future of citizen science : emerging technologies and shifting paradigms
Citizen science can be considered as a power which when combined with emerging
technologies, enlarges the chances of public engagement and ecological research. They are
likely be influenced by sociocultural issue that must be related to the new emerged technologies.
The originality of this report is that the new emerging technologies influence the process
of scientific research by designing the collection of data and also it helps in improving the
management of data.
The researchers are finding out the ways and methods in which the citizens are
contributing to the scientific attempt that is varying across different projects. According to
2

Newman and et.al, (2012), this approach is an interesting approach as it involves different ideas
from different minds.
In the research, the contribution to the authentic research through the social interactions
was lacking. Only two factors, that are gaming and camaraderie helped in making scientific
exploration.
The use of technologies of the ones that were already present with the adopted ones, it
enhanced the capability of practitioners for consolidating the scientific data across the projects.
Emerging technologies and innovations : quantitative identification and measurement
Emerging technologies and innovations, both are considered as the factors that leads to
challenges as well as opportunities for strategies of the technologies. It figures the quantitative
approaches for monitoring purposes.
The bibliographic data, publications and proposals helped this approach to result positive
as they inserted the data and information in the cycle of technology development.
According to Cozzens and Porter (2010), the process has to be monitored on a systematic
basis by the governmental bodies. The process contains limitations as well and they can be used
in the conjunction.
The element that is missing in the article is the exact identification of the quantitative
factors.
The aim of the article was to identify the quantitative measures for the emerging
technologies and innovations.
Designing opportunities for transformation with emerging technologies
Emerging technologies leads to various other new factors and opportunities. These
opportunities can act equally important for the development of a new one.
The originality of the article is true and positive till the time the public is considering
those opportunities as beneficial, rather than taking it as a burden. Till the time it is beneficial
for the public, its originality is being reflected.
As per Veletsianos (2011), it is not possible for the construction of transformative
experiences. Providing opportunities for the transformation is rather an easy task.

The article does not covers the use of it for development of transformative
infrastructures. The article is lacking in this factor, instead it is able to provide various
opportunities.
The aim of the article was to develop a huge amount of opportunities to grow while the
process of emerging technologies and innovations.
Evaluating innovative networks in emerging technologies
The article considers the fact that the networks that are inter organisational innovative
are essential for the technological fields that are emerging.
Innovative networks can help in enlarging the worth of the emerging technologies. It can
result positive if the innovations that are being made or modified, are completely complied in the
emerging technologies.
As per Cozzens and Porter (2010), the performance level of these networks can largely
impact the future developments of the technologies that are emerging. The article compares two
innovative networks.
The missing element in the article was a useful framework that is meant for evaluating
the innovative networks.
A comparison was done on the two policies driven , centre for translation molecular
medicine and the biomedical materials program.
Emerging technology and innovations
The article discusses the significance and issues of emerging technologies and
innovation.
It also fills a gap in the whole process of project management as it provides an
introduction of all the issues regarding the implementation and effective practices.
According to Frank (2010), it reflects as an general introduction of all the applications
and concepts in regard with the innovations and the emerging technologies.
The management have to be careful about the terminologies used in the process of the
emerging technologies in one sector and it may not be new in the other ones.
The article covers the issues and impacts of the innovations and the emerging
technologies.

Use of Grounded Theory for emerging technologies
In this paper research is conducted in order to introduce a grounded theory that is applicable in
order to maintain a meaningfulness of new phenomena related to technology.
This approach is useful for emerging technologies as it will reduce the risk and maintain
the technology driven phenomena
This theory was proposed by Glaser and Strauss but in the upcoming period of time
various authors have been worked in order to conduct a good grounded research. The two
approaches for grounded theory was also introduced in this. The implementation and overview of
grounded theory in the area of b2b e-commerce is also applied.
The research on the emerging technologies in accounting is proven too be complex while
maintaining the meaningfulness of technology driven phenomena. This work was not possible
before but due to use of grounded theory it can achieved.
This research will assist and guide the researches to know when to make use of grounded theory
approach and the basis of undertaking such as an project.
Strategic reactions to technology competition
In this paper a conceptual decision making models is developed whose objective is to support
mangers selection of alternative strategic reaction to change in technology.
This model prepared in this paper will be helpful in the competitive world as it will
develop a model that will support managers to sustain in the market. As the technology is
changed this model will create plans that will help the company to sustain in the marketplace.
Various strategic decisions have been made by companies due to technology change. The
six items regarding the strategic position were understand by the organization . These item
include competitive position of market,complexity in entering a new market etc. So appointing
the new consultant is advisable that should have a good knowledge that can used by organization
Competition is faced by the organization due to technology change. This paper will help
to reduce the impact of competition in the market.
This paper will make a model that help to develop strategies for the support of manger so
that the impact of competition due to technology change can be reduced.

The impact of technology on creativity in design: an enhancement
In this paper, a new approach in the area of creative design is presented. The approach
that have been represented is cognitive process. It is proposed as the designers need to be
creative in their projects for which they work.
On the basis of designer's understanding regarding cognitive process both the
development of new CAD(computer aided design) system need to be done and analysis should
be addresses. An empirical study was also addresses that examined the outcomes of the new
design support system on the cognitive process (Bonnardel and Zenasni, 2010).
This approach is efficient as it presents that CAD technology have enhance the creativity
of designers .
The individuals creativity was limited before the use of CAD as technology play a very
important role to enhance the creativity of designer. So use of CAD will make the designers
more creative.
The purpose of this paper is to implement CAD so as to facilitate the activities of
designers .
Modelling and analysing technology innovation in the energy sector
The aim of this paper is to pay its attention on the trends of modeling and patterns of
invention in the energy sector and on evaluating the traits of energy innovation on the basis of
technology.
As for the global economic energy is essential. So to satisfy the demands of energy it is
important to analyze the traits of energy innovation in terms of technology.
There have been utilization of USPTO patent database. With this the growth trend of
technologies are midled based on hidden Markv model(HMM),Then the outcomes of modeling
are applied to energy technology management by grouping the technologies with same patterns
for growth (Lee,Lee and Yoon, 2012).
In the previous work the huge demand of energy was not fulfilled in an effective way.
With this paper, USPTO database will be sued to make efficient use of the energy.
The purpose of this paper is to represent the better plans an policy that can be made related to
energy sector

Demand articulation in emerging technologies
In this paper an empirically investigation is done in order understand the learning process
inside the organization by making use of an event history approach
This paper will be effective in order to understand the learning process of intermediary
user organization as it contributes towards the social demand for innovation.
It issue characteristic learning mechanisms such as concerning the management of
expectation or actively creating a case. If the challenges reading positioning and pro-actiivty
level can be overcome , then they can play an essential role in demand articulation in the context
of new technologies (Veletsianos, 2011).
In the previous work done related to this paper, there was no user involvement as involvement
of user plays an important roles in the context of new technologies.
The purpose of this paper is to develop an organization that would have the involvement
of users. As the user involvement will be important to articulate the demands for innovation.
Emerging technologies as cognitive tool for authentic learning
The concept of employment of emerging technologies in learning has become very
important as it acts as a support for the development for digital media literacy.
The originality of the article is that new technologies can provide a much amount of
information and learning to an individual. It provides the accessibility with the help of which, an
individual gets to learn about it.
According to Herrington and Parker (2013), a theoretical framework for the technology
and authentic learning as the cognitive tools. It describes the pedagogical context of the
intervention and the other used methodologies.
The missing elements in this article are a lack of cognitive tools. Increase in these tools
can have impacted more positively on the emerging technologies and innovations.
The aim of the article was to use cognitive tools for the purpose of learning by emerged
technologies and innovations.
CONCLUSION
From the assignment, it was concluded that the use of emerging technologies and
innovations have a huge impact in the overall development of the governmental bodies and
7

infrastructures. Also, they include some missing elements but it leads to various learning and
helpful elements.
