It is a general understanding that the advanced economies are
currently undergoing a fundamental transformation into
knowledge-based societies. There is a firm belief that this is
based on the development of high-tech industries. Correspondingly,
in this scenario low-tech sectors appear to be less important. A
critique of this widely held belief is the starting point of this
book. It is often overlooked that many of the current innovation
activities are linked to developments inside the realm of low-tech.
Thus the general objective of the book is to contribute to a
discussion concerning the relevance of low-tech industries for
industrial innovativeness in the emerging knowledge economy.
Providing examples of both theoretical and empirical research in
this area, Innovation in Low-tech Firms and Industries will be of
great interest to postgraduate students and academic researchers in
innovation studies. It will also appeal to policy makers in the
field of innovation policy as well as industrial economists and
sociologists interested in traditional industries in advanced
economies.
