16. 9. The sustainable industrialization process: The High Road to compete 9.1 The path to a sustainable industrialization is for firms to compete through innovation; the alternative is to compete through lower wages and standards or through currency depreciation ; 9.2 To innovate means to improve products and processes in existing industries; to compete in higher value added industry segments; and to enter in technologically more complex industries; 9.3 In developing countries, the innovation process is usually based on the mobilization, adaptation and learning of existing technologies and management practices ; 9.4 To innovate requires firms to up-grade their technological, managerial and marketing capabilities ; it is a risky and difficult process with important efforts of investment, research and learning;

Global trends and issues: Industrialization 10.1 Very high level of wealth creation and improvement in quality of life during the last 50 years but not everywhere and not for everybody. 10.2 Globalization of financial, trade, investment and knowledge flows 10.3 Rapid and accelerating technological progress with many applications for product and process technologies: ICT; biotechnology; new materials; fuel cells; nano technologies etc… 10.4 Emergence of a global network society and new consumption patterns 10.5 Global governance with new international treaties, regulations and standards ( trade, quality, labor, environment, intellectual property rights, etc..) and new actors (global corporations, civil society, media) 10.6 However, alarming and unsustainable trends: poverty, environment, social development, economic marginalization,

27. What are we teaching in technology education? 14. Industrial Sustainability: Key Learning & Principles
The heightened prominence of the science-technology enterprise creates an unparallel phenomenon where humans BOTH profit from its opportunities and pay the price for the risks, dangers, and undesirable impacts of technology adoption and diffusion.
In a very general sense, TA might refer to any systematic activity that we use to inform technological decisions especially those decisions about the adoption or use of new technologies. These individual level activities might include research on alternative systems, comparison charts, and cost-benefit analyses. For example, a homeowner might research and predict the long range impacts of selecting different heating systems for installation in our homes. Should we invest in geothermal heating, gas or wood furnace, or solar thermal?
