How do the social sciences address the question of innovation and
the relationship between technology and use? This is the core point
of this book which examines critically diverse works, in sociology,
history, economics and anthropology, in order to formulate a new
approach. This reflection is essentially of a general nature,
though the cases used to illustrate the analysis are drawn
primarily from the field of ICT. Patrice Flichy studies how the
socio-technological actions of the different actors, particularly
designers and users, are organized within the same frames of
reference. He also introduces a new element into the model by
demonstrating how time is involved in technological choices.
Understanding Technological Innovation will be essential reading
for advanced teaching and research training in the fields of
science and technology studies, and media and communication
studies.
