In the past decade there has been growing recognition that economic
development is not mainly exogenously determined but, to a large
extent, is a transformation process induced and governed by
economic actors who respond to competitive, institutional and
political challenge. This 'challenge and response' model is
increasingly accepted as a valid analytical framework in modem
growth theory and also explains the popularity of endogenous growth
approaches to technological innovation issues. However, a major and
as yet largely under-researched topic is the question of the
diffusion and adoption of new technological changes in the context
of space-time dynamics. This diffusion and adoption pattern has
obviously clear spatial and temporal variations connected with
behavioural responses which may vary over time and different
locations. This means that a closer analysis of spatio-temporal
opportunities and impediments is necessary in order to fully map
the complex interactions of technology and economy in space and
time. This volume sets out to bring together a collection of
original contributions commissioned by the editors to highlight the
spatio-temporal patterns and backgrounds of the diffusion and
adoption of new technologies. Some are in the nature of a survey,
others.have a modelling background and again others are case
studies. The contributions originate from different countries and
different disciplines. This book is complementary to a previously
published volume on technological innovation, Technological Change,
Economic Development and Space, edited by C.S. Bertuglia, M.M.
Fischer and G. Preto, and also published by Springer-Verlag (1995).
