Extract

There are many ongoing activities in the United States that can be characterized as strategies in technology assessment and implementation. A comprehensive strategy, however, is lacking. The richness and diversity of the groups with a stake in technology assessment is in part responsible for the inability to move to a comprehensive strategy. Important conflicts within and across groups must be resolved before a comprehensive program of technology assessment can be put in place.
