The process of technological change takes a wide variety of forms.
Propositions that may be accurate when referring to the
pharmaceutical industry may be totally inappropriate when applied
to the aircraft industry or to computers or forest products. The
central theme of Nathan Rosenberg's new book is the idea that
technological changes are often 'path dependent', in the sense that
their form and direction tend to be influenced strongly by the
particular sequence of earlier events out of which a new technology
has emerged. The book advances the understanding of technological
change by explictly recognising its essential diversity and
path-dependent nature. Individual chapters explore the particular
features of new technologies in different historical and sectoral
contexts. This book presents a unique account of how technological
change is generated and the processes by which improved
technologies are introduced.
