Innovation - the process of obtaining, understanding, applying,
transforming, managing and transferring knowledge - is a result of
human collaboration, but it has become an increasingly complex
process, with a growing number of interacting parties involved.
Lack of innovation is not necessarily caused by lack of technology
or lack of will to innovate, but often by social and cultural
forces that jeopardize the cognitive processes and prevent
potential innovation. This book focuses on the rule of social
capital in the process of innovation: the social networks and the
norms; values and attitudes (such as trust) of the actors; social
capital as both bonding and bridging links between actors; and
social capital as a feature at all spatial levels, from the single
inventor to the transnational corporation. Contributors from a wide
variety of countries and disciplines explore the cultural framework
of innovation through empirics, case studies and examination of
conceptual and methodological dilemmas.
