This paper deals with two interrelated issues: technology commercializ
ation and information technologies, The two are intertwined by the fac
t that 1) information technologies are a major contributor to new inno
vations that are commercialized and 2) information technologies can be
used to facilitate the commercialization of all technologies. This pa
per explores the research questions that arise from these two issues a
nd recommends a set of research questions that need to be answered by
researchers, It also introduces the five papers that make up this spec
ial issue on information technologies and technology commercialization
.
