The processes of technological innovation

This academic study looks at how new technologies come into being, get adopted and are put to use inside organizations. Rather than focusing on a single invention, the authors set out a framework for understanding innovation as a process shaped by three kinds of context: the technology itself, the organization that takes it up, and the wider environment in which both operate. The book draws on research and examples to show how these forces interact, and it is aimed at students and managers who want a clearer picture of why some technological changes succeed while others stall.
