NOTICE: The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. William A.Wulf is interim president of the National Academy of Engineering.
Partial funding for this effort was provided by the Alfred P.Sloan Foundation.
The views expressed in this volume are those of the authors and are not presented as the views of the Sloan Foundation, the Committee on Technology, Management, and Capital in Small High-Tech Companies, or the National Academy of Engineering.
