Looking Back

As NCTM prepares to celebrate its centennial, the organization is also poised to implement in-depth strategic planning that positions the Council for a second century. The NCTM publishing program—and in particular, the journals program—has been instrumental in providing teachers with content to meet the needs of each and every learner and to help practitioners adapt to the ongoing pedagogical and technological changes in the educational landscape.

Unique Context

The purpose of this study is to enrich the stream of research on Technology Forecasting (TF) activities in a firm for practitioners and researchers, a unique context where TF could lead to technological innovation. This paper offers a classification of the approaches and presents technological, industrial, methodological and organizational (TIMO) aspects of TF methods that are inherent in TF activities. Furthermore, this study provides empirical evidences to support organizational and managerial implications regarding TF activities associated with technology planning in a firm. Finally, research findings in regimes of technological changes suggest insights on technological, organizational and managerial processes within the firm.

Heavy Loads

The neglected topic of Mid-Republican building technology prior to the advent of concrete in the mid-second century is treated here. A close reading of Vitruvius’ De Architectura in combination with study of archaeological remains helps document two major technological changes: the strategic blending of building stones according to each stone’s physical properties, and the proliferation of lifting machines to raise heavy loads at building sites. Such developments depended upon close knowledge of building stones imported from Central Italy to Rome, and there are reasons to think that knowledge traveled with masons themselves. Thus, technological change speaks to labor migration, and relates similar shifts in the urban labor supply during the third and early-second century as those described by the previous chapter.
