Innovation viewed through a social lens,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Networks of Innovation: Change and Meaning in the Age of the Internet (Hardcover)
A short book, written from the perspective of a research interested in the links between "Technology" and "Society". To me the book was worth reading if only for its focus on two insights.
a) Innovation is about social change. A new product, a new technology, that does not provoke changes of behaviour will end up just being a foot note in some academic record. Socially irrelevant. b) Radical innovations tend to appear in the intersection between disciplines. Specialized organizations produce incremental innovations. Radical innovations require a more open environment. The history of the development of Internet, covered in the book, is a good example. A quick read, non academical. |
