The essays in this volume have been chosen to illustrate the
diversity of scholarship which has been directed towards
understanding the complex process of technology transfer in its
business contexts. The first part considers the theory and process
of technology transfer as developed by economists, sociologists and
historians. The remainder of the volume presents essays and
excerpts on the agencies of technology transfer, artisans and
professionals, the state, private business and multinational
enterprise. The papers range from the 18th century to the present
and cover industries from coal and textiles to computers and motor
vehicles, in countries as diverse as Britain, the US, Japan, South
Korea and India.
These essays about British Methodists in the 18th, 19th, and 20th
centuries, explore the process of collective remembering. Three
distinct aspects are probed in this volume: how telling life
stories shaped identity for the Methodist movement; how remembering
lives was both contrived and contested; how historians' techniques
have exposed the process of memorialising and remembering in
Methodism.
