The Nature of Social Innovation

Alex Nicholls and Alex Murdock

A chapter in Social Innovation, 2012, pp 1-30 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Historical analyses of macro-level innovation across the developed economies often identify a series of waves of technological change, typically starting with the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century (Kondratiev, 1998; Alexander, 2001; Moulaert, 2009). Each wave is usually presented as distinct from what came before, but also as sharing particular economic and social outcomes.
