"Challenging, theoretically rich yet anchored in detailed empirical
analysis, Loet Leydesdorff's exploration of the dynamics of the
knowledge-economy is a major contribution to the field. Drawing on
his expertise in science and technology studies, systems theory,
and his internationally respected work on the 'triple helix', the
book provides a radically new modelling and simulation of knowledge
systems, capturing the articulation of structure, communication,
and agency therein. This work will be of immense interest to both
theorists of the knowledge-economy and practitioners in science
policy." Andrew Webster Science & Technology Studies,
University of York, UK ________________________________________
"This book is a ground-breaking collection of theory and techniques
to help understand the internal dynamics of the modern
knowledge-based economy, including issues such as stability,
anticipation, and interactions amongst components. The combination
of theory, measurement, and modelling gives the necessary power
with which to address the complexity of modern networked social
systems. Each on its own would partly illuminate an innovation
system, but the combination sheds a far brighter light." Mike
Thelwall Information Science, University of Wolverhampton, UK
________________________________________ "The sociologist Niklas
Luhmann is considered one of the few social scientists possibly
able to explain a decisive event once it has happened. In this
book, Loet Leydesdorff answers the challenge to take Luhmann's
analysis one step further by introducing anticipation into the
theory. This book provides a fascinating exploration of the use of
recursion and incursion to model social processes." Dirk Baecker
Sociology, Universitat Witten/Herdecke, Germany
________________________________________ How can an economy based
on something as volatile as knowledge be sustained? The urgency of
improving our understanding of a knowledge-based economy provides
the context and necessity of this study. In a previous study
entitled A Sociological Theory of Communications: The
Self-Organization of the Knowledge-based Society (2001) the author
specified knowledge-based systems from a sociological perspective.
In this book, he takes this theory one step further and
demonstrates how the knowledge base of an economic system can be
operationalized, both in terms of measurement and by providing
simulation models.
