The system is still in the trial stages and has not been proven to be effective. What type of technology is this?
A) emerging
B) pacing
C) key
D) base
E) ancillary

Emerging technologies are still under development and thus are unproved. They may, however, significantly alter the rules of competition in the future. Managers will want to monitor the development of emerging technologies but may not yet need to invest in them until they have been more fully developed.
