Diversity in the Knowledge Economy and Society

Edited by Elias G. Carayannis, Aris Kaloudis and Åge Mariussen

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The key message of this book is that heterogeneity should be seen as an intrinsic and indispensable element of knowledge systems. The authors address the concept of heterogeneity in a multi-disciplinary fashion, including perspectives from evolutionary economics and innovation system studies, and relate this approach to existing theories in a broad range of fields.
