Therefore, the SN rules and its formal implementation, can be considered as a fundamental instrument for corporate choice and technology policy. Sarewitz and Nelson (2008a; 2008b) proposed the first version of the rules as a broad technology assessment heuristic. They were suggested from an implicit coevolution perspective involving interlinked bodies of technical practice and understanding. We denote the rules as (R1) the cause‐effect rule; (R2) the standardized technical core rule; and (R3) the enlightening testability rule. For its systematic implementation, the SN rules have been formally discussed and made operational as an element of Schumpeterian catalytic research and innovation policies. The SN rules are hereby presented within a wider process of technology screening, choice and policy‐making. 000130841 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 000130841 700__ $$aFatas-Villafranca, Francisco$$b 000130841 773__ $$tElgar Encyclopedia on the Economics of Knowledge and Innovation 000130841 8560_ $$fagroca@unizar.es 000130841 8564_ $$s248168$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/130841/files/BOOK-2024-045.pdf$$ySin acceso$$zAcceso restringido 000130841 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:130841$$pbooks 000130841 980__ $$aBOOK$$bCAPITULOS$$b
