Disclaimer: Management of Technological Innovation (MTI) is a diverse, multidisciplinary field. This reading list does not pretend to be exhaustive or inclusive. It is merely a snapshot of a vibrant field of research that is growing rapidly. As well, it reflects the biases in my disciplinary background in economics and electrical engineering. Nonetheless, I hope it will be a useful resource for those interested in the MTI field. I thank the MTI faculty for their valuable feedback in assembling this list. Any errors or omissions remain entirely my responsibility.
