Robin Williams and Rob Procter

Chapter 9 in Exploring Expertise, 1998, pp 197-222 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The concept of expertise has been advanced as an important analytical device, offering deeper understanding of both the process of technological innovation and the social character and implications of technology (as discussed in Chapter 1). Some important questions follow on from such a suggestion; most immediately: Can we use the concept of expertise in undertaking empirical research? How does it help us to explain processes of technological change?
