This timely book explores technological innovation as a concept,
dissecting its emergence, development and use. Benoit Godin offers
an exciting new historiography of the subject, arguing that the
study of innovation originates not from scholars but from
practitioners of innovation. Godin looks to engineers, managers,
consultants and policymakers as the instigators of our current
understanding of technological innovation. Offering a conceptual
history of the subject, Part I considers the many iterations of
innovation - as an science applied, outcome, process and system -
to track and analyse the changing discourses surrounding
technological innovation. In Part II, the author turns to historic
and contemporary innovation policy to illustrate the critical role
that practitioners have had in formulating and strategizing policy.
Effectively rewriting the historiography of the topic, this book is
critical reading for scholars of innovation studies, sociology and
the history of science and technology. Students will benefit from
Godin's pioneering approach to the subject and policymakers will
also find value in the book's unique insight into innovation.
