Note: Answer all questions. Kindly note that answers for 10 marks questions should be approximately of 400 words. Each question is followed by evaluation scheme.

Question. 1. Explain the concept of technology forecasting? Write a brief note on different methods oftechnology forecasting.

Answer:Technology forecasting attempts to predict the future characteristics of useful technological machines, procedures or techniques.Primarily, a technological forecast deals with the characteristics of technology, such as levels of technical performance, like speed of a military aircraft, the power in watts of a particular future engine, the accuracy or precision of a measuring instrument, the number of transistors in a chip in the year 2015, etc. The forecast does not have to state how these characteristics will be achieved.

Secondly, technological forecasting usually deals

Question. 2. What is technology acquisition? Explain the two methods of technology acquisition.

Answer:Acquisition of technology and knowledge involves the purchase of external knowledge and technology without active co operation with the source. This external knowledge can be embodied in machinery or equipment that incorporates this knowledge. It can also include the hiring of employees who possess the new knowledge, or the use of contract research and consulting services. Disembodied technology or knowledge also includes other know-how, patents, licences, trademarks and software.

There are three types of technology acquisitions:

Question. 3. List and describe the different characteristics of the various stages in life cycle oftechnology.

Answer:The technology life-cycle (TLC) describes the commercial gain of a product through the expense of research and development phase, and the financial return during its "vital life". Some technologies, such as steel, paper or cement manufacturing, have a long lifespan (with minor variations in technology incorporated with time) while in other cases, such as electronic or pharmaceutical products, the lifespan may be quite short.

The TLC associated with a product or technological service is

Question. 4. a. List the different qualitative technology transfer models

Answer:Technology transfer from academic and scientific institutions has been transformed into a strategic variable for companies and nations who wish to cope with the challenges of a global economy. Since the early 1970s, many technology transfer models have tried to introduce key factors in the process. Previous studies have shown that technology transfer is influenced by various elements. This study is based on a review of two

b. Explain the Schile, Radnor, and Wad model in detail

Answer:It’s a model that seven elements could make an effect on the planning, implementation and eventual success of any technology transfer project. The seven elements are the transferor (the entity selling the technology to the recipient), the transferee (the entity buying the technology), the technology which is being transferred , the transfer mechanism which has been chosen to transfer the chosen technology, the transfer environment (the operating immediate set of conditions), the transferee environment (the operating immediate

Question. 5. a. Explain the different steps of Environmental impact analysis(EIA) process.

Answer:The EIA process makes sure that environmental issues are raised when a project or plan is first discussed and that all concerns are addressed as a project gains momentum through to implementation. Recommendations made by the EIA may necessitate the redesign of some project components, require further studies, suggest changes which alter the economic viability of the project or cause a delay in project implementation. To be of most benefit it is essential that an environmental assessment is carried out to determine

b. What are the various issues in the preparation of EIA Report?

Answer:An EIA report should be complete, easily understood, objective, factual and internally consistent. These objectives are difficult to achieve in a process that involves many contributors working to tight deadlines. Even so, far too many EIA reports fall short of meeting their basic purpose of providing the necessary and relevant information for decision-making and clearly communicating key findings to the public and other interested parties.

Higher standards could be achieved by addressing some

Question. 6. Briefly explain any four new technologies available in the present market. What are thedifferent aspects must be considered while implementing a new technology.

Answer:The technological innovation system is a concept developed within the scientific field of innovation studies which serves to explain the nature and rate of technological change. A Technological Innovation System can be defined as ‘a dynamic network of agents interacting in a specific economic/industrial area under a particular institutional infrastructure and involved in the generation, diffusion, and utilization of technology’.

The approach may be applied to at least three levels of
