“…There are only a few studies on the dynamics of nanoscience and technology developments: e.g. nanoscience and nanotechnology interactions (Hullmann and Meyer, 2003;Meyer 2001); the realization of the potential of nanotechnologies (Nordmann, 2004); a bibliometric analysis of the production of publications and patents (Braun et al, 1997;Kostoff et al, 2004;Meyer and Persson, 1998;Miyazaki and Islam, 2007;Zhou and Leydesdorff, 2006;Zucker et al 1998Zucker et al , 2002Zucker and Darby, 2006); and studies related to nano-innovation (Darby and Zucker, 2003;Hung and Chu, 2006;Islam and Miyazaki, 2009;Shea, 2005;Wonglimpiyarat, 2005).…”

Nanotechnology is a highly prioritized area on the global scientific agenda. Research into nanotechnology has become part of various scientific disciplines due to its ability to control structures and materials at nanometer scale. This paper analyzes the nanoscientific output of traditional disciplines and their reference citations across disciplines. It attempts to explore the dynamics of nanotechnology research conflation within the nanotechnology system of innovation in Japan. The key factors in nanoscience, technology and innovation management are further studied. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods are adopted, which creates a more solid foundation for exploring the trends in the evolution of this technology. This study offers a useful insight for science and technology policymakers as well as for academic practitioners in science and technical fields in managing the emerging technological systems.ANOTECHNOLOGY CONFORMS to a pattern of science-based innovation, where an important revolution in analytical instruments (e.g. scanning tunneling microscope (STM), atomic force microscope (AFM)), preceding discoveries and subsequent technological advancement (Rosenberg, 1982) stimulated the exploration of nanoscale structures and development of nanoscale technologies. By definition, nanotechnology is concerned with materials and systems at nano-scale 1 whose structures and components exhibit novel and significantly improved physical, chemical and biological properties due to the nanodimensions (National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), 2002). With its ability to control material properties, manipulate and fabricate structures, nanotechnology research has spread out across scientific disciplines and technical fields. Nanotechnology thus enables us to design and manufacture components, devices and systems that are far more efficient than the existing ones. Following in the footsteps of the information and communications technologies (ICT) and biotechnology, nanotechnology stands for the engine of economic growth since most industrialized countries push increased public and private research and development (R&D) funding into this field. This emerging technology has the power to transform healthcare, energy, electronics, manufacturing, transportation and national security by the incredible nanobased applications that are being developed 2 (NSTC, 2006). Emergence of nanotechnology researchThe rise of the concept of nanotechnology was laid out by the physicist Richard Feynman's historic talk, 'There's plenty of room at the bottom', which was given at California Institute of Technology in 1959. He suggested that the frontiers of knowledge and technology at which people should aiming could be found not only in physics but also in nanosized N Nazrul Islam

“…Yingyi T. (2009) [11] take innovation, financing and market as the three important factors which influence the growth of strategic new industry in the developing countries, and set up a three-stage model for the growth of the new industry. Shih-Chang Hung (2006) [16] take Taiwan as an example to bring the influence of government to the new technologies into consideration. He Zhengchu (2010) evaluate the choosing of strategic new industry with five options: government support, resource environment, market, technology research and development, strategic newness.…”

Abstract. To speed up the industry transformation and upgrading, keep the sustainable development of the national or regional economic development in a long term, on the basis of reviewing relative references, this article introduces a concept model of the strategic new industries, and measure their growth performance with five types of questions, which include growth capability, level of maturity, growth scale, level of technological development, and stability of market structure. Meanwhile, the results of questionnaire analysis and valid reliability analysis verify the concept model. In the end, the empirical analysis about the growth factors of the strategic new industries is made through a regression model. At the level of 5%, the regression coefficient is notable, which meant the model fit well. This variable equals to 2 R as 0.626, which means the predicable variables chosen by this study can explain the 62.6% variation of the criterion variable in the strategic new industrial "growth performance". The results indicates that the development of strategic new enterprises and industries still need to be achieved by improving technological innovation ability, which is an indirect reflection of our domestic strategic new industrial development.

This paper reviews the literature on the emergence of industries and the theoretical and methodological approaches employed. The analysis reveals that industry emergence can be depicted as a three‐stage process. In the first, initial stage, a disruption to the existing industrial order triggers the second, the co‐evolutionary stage, which includes four sub‐processes related to developments in technology, markets, activity networks and industry identity. The convergence of these sub‐processes leads to the third stage, a growth stage and the birth of a new industry. While these three stages and the four sub‐processes are well covered in the literature, the authors find that there is a lack of understanding in terms of the transitions between the stages, the interactions and interdependencies between sub‐processes and moderating factors of industry emergence. Future research can bridge these gaps by exploring the different origins and initial conditions of industries, the processes and interactions in the earliest stages of industry emergence, and the role of facilitating and managing industry emergence. This implies a shift in the research focus from the industries that have emerged to the nascent processes of emergence.
