Technology, quality, and the economy
Article Abstract:
The development of several new strategies aimed at commercializing new and environmentally benign technologies will allow the continued development of America's economic growth. High technology companies run by individuals possessing both technical and businees capabilities should be revived to compensate for the 20 years of technological backlog. Entrepreneurs should provide funding for two other companies that possess important technologies, but have no capital needed to commercialize such technologies. Furthermore, new high technological companies should serve as sources of technology for a selected number of large manufacturing companies.

Vital technologies go begging
Article Abstract:
Various technologies vital tothe recovery of the US economy already exist but large companies with the financial resources are not interested in investing in these technologies. Large corporations are investing in developing technologies which industries are already using. Tax exemptions are suggested to encourage these firms to invest in vital technologies including a seven-year tax-exempt law for successful ventures in their first years of operation. Further, a limit to the investor's losses in case of failures would encourage commercial firms to invest.
