Chapter 3 in The Innovating Firm, 1979, pp 30-57 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The approaches discussed below illustrate in different ways some of the problems involved in formulating rational models of technological innovation. In Chapter 2 some behavioural characteristics of innovation were discussed and the importance of uncertainty emphasised; here the relevance of the different approaches is assessed in the light of the conclusions and speculations of that chapter.
