This book analyses the historical context and progression of
"significant innovations" beginning with the industrial revolution,
starting around 1750 to the present. It explores the
interrelationship, causes, and evolutionary process of contemporary
"disruptive" inventions and the role played by global finance and
international commerce to support these. First, the authors examine
the environment and circumstances surrounding the inventors and
explore their backgrounds to determine, why at a specific time,
they identified a need that became the seed for invention and, what
was their method of successfully commercializing their innovation.
Secondly, they focus on the financing of the inventor, the
innovation, and the commercialization of the invention(s). They
analyze the changes in finance during the shift from a labor-based
production process to a more capital-intensive production process,
and what new financial products or financial markets were created
to facilitate this transition. Third, they explore the impact of
global commerce on the inventor country's innovation environment
and international competition impacting the innovation's
production, distribution, and sales, as well as, investigating any
financial impact from the demand side and whether that impact was
domestic or global in character. Furthermore, they consider if and
how global finance and international commerce including the
migration of people, together play a role in helping the disruptive
invention satisfy a need in society, whether from a production or
consumption perspective. Finally, they search for common elements
that repeatedly inspired inventors and their disruptive innovations
over time. This book will appeal to global government officials,
business leadership, early career professionals, and students
across a number of disciplines including finance, economics,
business, engineering, and technology.
