Summary:We can learn much from the business community about effective
technology transfer. In particular, understanding the interests of
different types of adopters can suggest to us the different kinds of
evidence needed to convince someone to try an innovative technology. At
the same time, the legal community offers us advice about what kinds of
evidence are needed to build convincing cases that an innovation is an
improvement over current practice. The article examines why and how we
make technology selection decisions and also considers how evidence
supporting these decisions helps or hinders the adoption of new
technology
