The Management of Innovation and Technology
The Shaping of Technology and Institutions of the Market Economy



February 2005 | 304 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd

This book analyzes a range of social contexts in which human decisions shape technology in the market economy. It comprises a critical review of both a select research literature and in-depth historical studies. Material is drawn from many social science disciplines to inform the reader of the reality of taking decisions on innovation.

The chapters cover:

  • The social context for individual acts of creative insight
  • The development of the technology-market relationship
  • The management of R&D and technological standards
  • Technological competition
  • The role of institutions of finance in innovation
  • The reciprocal relationship between intellectual property law and technological innovation
  • The role of technological skills and regimes of technological education in innovation
  • An introduction to the role of the state in maintaining the innovative capacity of the private sector

In our course "International Innovation Management" (bachelor, 4th semester), we were unable to find just one textbook that fit all our requirements and had to use an eclectic collection of texts. We used The Management of Innovation and Technology mainly for its extensive case studies.
