The Innovation Process in the Gas Industry

G.F. Ray and D.T. Jones

National Institute Economic Review, 1975, vol. 73, 47-56

Abstract: This article traces the development in the British gas industry of pressures to innovate and of the industry's response, not in any great depth but as an illustration of the complexities of the innovation process and of the variety of factors which may typically be involved in bringing it to fruition. Innovation occurs within a given system; in order to understand why it occurred and the reasons for its success or failure it is important to observe the working of the system as a whole, the connections between the industry concerned and other sectors of the economy and the factors which encouraged or delayed innovative activity.
