Different theories, models and narratives of innovation compete for
both legitimacy and authority. However, despite the variations,
they all offer a consistent pro-innovation bias, dismissing
resistance as irrational, and overlooking the value of non-users
and collateral impacts. This book asks, what has been left out? It
offers a reflexive view and invites researchers to consider new
avenues of research, through a critique of current representations
of innovation. The chapters provide a different viewpoint on
innovation by exploring what has been omitted from traditional
innovation studies. The book examines imitation, non-innovative
roles, resistance to innovation, slow innovation, the rationale of
non-users, failure, withdrawal, collateral impacts and alternative
models. Calling for new definitions and frameworks, the editors
have created a critical program for innovation studies with new
avenues for future research. Offering state-of-the-art discussion
of theories, models, narratives and ideologies of innovation and
alternative approaches, this book will be an essential resource for
scholars in technology and innovation, management, engineering,
political and social sciences. It will also appeal to policy-makers
in the science and technology sector. Contributors include: C.
