Bio
Scott Cunningham has worked in the computer and software industry, creating analytical models for commercial clients. His work on national innovation indicators helps inform policy for the governments of the U.S., the U.K. and Malaysia.
Scott is interested in operations research and decision sciences approaches for policy making. In particular, he is interested in probabilistic models of social exchange. Other interests include building multi-actor systems theory through the economic sociology and innovation policy literatures.
A recent publication is Tech Mining (with Alan Porter), a book on assessing new technology developments.
Together with Leon Hermans, Mark de Reuver and Jos Timmermans, authored the book: "Actor & Strategy Models: Practical Applications and Step-wise Approaches", published by John Wiley & Sons in 2018.
