Abstract

This article discusses some of the long-term issues that corporate managers have to take into consideration when making decisions about nanotechnology. The article discusses the uncertainties and risks associated with nanotechnology development, and the partial, fragmentary state that the governmental oversight of nanotechnology is likely to be in until more is understood about potential risks of nanotechnology. The article states that the responsible development and regulation of nanotechnology may rest in the hands of corporations, and examines the tensions that exist between corporate advantage and the social responsibility of managers making these kinds of decisions.
