Chapter 6 in Beyond Innovation: Technology, Institution and Change as Categories for Social Analysis, 2015, pp 47-56 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract From the 1950s, precursors to innovation theory developed tools to take into account factors such as research and the learning of new practices in order to understand technological change as a factor behind economic growth. Another theme in this chapter is the different views on how to combine knowledge in order to achieve institutional and technological change. Traditionally, knowledge has been viewed as an individual capacity or even trait. During more recent decades, however, this idea has given way to notions of the importance of knowledge organizations and knowledge institutions implying that favourable conditions can be arranged by mixing different competencies and organizing collaborative efforts.
