TNO Informatie- en Communicatietechnologie Publication year 2008 Abstract Technology, such as IMT-2000 and IMT-A, plays an important role in our society. A number of prominent authors and thinkers have judged the impact of technology as being increasingly radical. This paper connects different visions on technology, thereby bringing different perspectives on innovation into line. An important motivation for this paper has been the predominantly instrumental vision on technology that is present at most European governments. The paper shows that this is an imbalanced vision that neglects the renewing and radical power of technology. On the other hand, the paper focuses on the required skills ('DNA') that are needed to help companies bridge the gap from radical innovation to user centred innovation. The paper concludes with an example from personal network technology, illustrating the main concepts and claims. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
