TFSC EDITOR FROM MSM

[BIZ: Maastricht, May 15]
Dr. Fred Phillips has been named Senior Editor of Elsevier's international journal Technological Forecasting & Social Change. Published continuously since 1967, TFSC publishes peer-reviewed advances in technology assessment, forecasting, and policy.

With a print subscriber base of 1,000 and many more readers accessing individual articles via ScienceDirect.com, TFSC is read and quoted by policy makers worldwide. Submissions to the journal, now originating equally from Europe, Asia and the Americas, have risen 50% over the past two years.

TFSC articles and rejoinders are spotlighted by the popular business press. Examples include debates on Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology," and on Jonathan Huebner's "A possible declining trend for worldwide innovation." A reporter's account of Huebner's article became a cover story for London's Sunday Times in 2005.

Dr. Phillips will cooperate with TFSC Founding Editor Harold Linstone in transferring journal management duties as Dr. Linstone nears retirement. Dr. Phillips has been Associate Editor of TFSC since 1999, and a member of the journal's editorial advisory board since 1996.

Dr. Phillips is Professor of Marketing, Entrepreneurship, and Research Methods at Maastricht School of Management.
