Technology plays a critical role in transforming societies and
economies through enhancing efficiency, connectivity and access to
resources and services. The challenge remains how to harness
technologies to achieve sustainable development without causing
harm to human and natural capitals. Professor Odeh Rashed
Al-Jayyousi argues that science, technology and innovation (STI)
are underpinned by social choices and, hence, a transition to a
sustainable green economy is defined by individuals' and
institutions' decisions on how to use and apply these STI
developments. It is, therefore, important to examine closely the
ways in which social institutions and processes in the "integral
worlds" (the different perspectives of reality) shape the
priorities of technologies and the conditions under which their
potential benefits can be reaped. He states that in order for
technological innovation to provide a guarantee of sustainable
economic development, it is necessary that a transfer of technology
to developing countries becomes a basic principle of national
development policies, and that they, in turn, are open to adopting
an explicit long-term application of technological innovation.
Integral Innovation: New Worldviews presents a conceptual framework
for the evolution of technology and innovation from a historical
and cultural perspective. It provides an analysis of the role of
innovation and technology in sustainable development and introduces
a number of international case studies, which shed light on the
social learning processes for knowledge co-creation and innovation
culture. It is essential reading for those interested in innovation
and technology management.
