This volume is devoted to innovation with a special focus on its
two sides, namely creation and destruction, and on its role in the
evolution of capitalist economies. The first part of the book looks
at innovation and its effects on economic performance, addressing
issues of motives, behavioral rules under uncertainty, actor
properties, and technology characteristics. The second part
concentrates on potential consequences of innovative activities, in
particular structural change, the "innovation-mediated" effect of
skill-oriented policies on regional performance, the destructive
effects of innovation activities, and the question whether novelty
is always good. The role of innovation in the evolution of
capitalism itself is discussed in the third part.
This book argues for the increasing importance of the arts as a
major resource in fuelling growth through the experiential
dimension of today's economy. As we move from the knowledge economy
to a new stage called the joyful economy, consumers shift their
spending from physical objects and technical know-how to
experiences of joy and disappointment. This book investigates how
artistic ideas are translated into successful commercial
production, and how economic growth impacts artistic invention. It
examines cases of successful innovation in the creative industries
ranging from the Italian Renaissance to the present. The book
suggests a framework where social players move in diverse worlds of
value, which leads to a stream of controversies and manias that
result in the establishment of new joy products. Studies include
the effect of linear perspective, as pioneered by Filippo
Brunelleschi, the discovery of taste as an argument for
consumption, the serial production of Pop Art and the
self-commercialization of contemporary works by artists like
Takashi Murakami . This theoretical and empirical study brings
together the fields of cultural economics, economic sociology,
management studies and cultural history. In doing so, it offers a
fascinating study of how creativity has shaped and fuelled
commerce.
The book offers new theoretical perspectives on innovation,
analyzes innovation processes in diverse innovation fields, and
presents case studies that reflect the diversity of innovations
fields. To what extent and in what sense does innovation
characterize our societies today? Innovations are no longer limited
to the economic sphere; we find them in almost all areas of society
today. Diverse actors generate innovations in different,
increasingly reflexive ways. New concepts, practices, and
institutional forms such as open source, crowdfunding, or citizen
panels expand the spectrum.

Much recent discussion surrounding valuation of the arts and
culture, particularly in the policy arena, has been dominated by a
concern to identify an economic and financial basis for valuation
of art works, arts, activities and more general ways in which we
express our culture. Whereas a great deal can be gained from a
fuller understanding of the economic value of art, there is a real
danger that financial considerations will tend to crowd out all
other aspects of value. This book moves beyond the limitations
implicit in a narrow economic approach, bringing different
disciplinary viewpoints together, opening up a dialogue between
scholars about the processes of valuation that they use and
exploring differences and identifying common ground between the
various viewpoints. The book's common theme - the tension between
economic and cultural modes of evaluation - unites the chapters,
making it a coherent and unified volume that provides a new and
unique perspective on how we value art.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th Workshop on RFID
Security and Privacy, RFIDsec 2013, held in Graz, Austria, in July
2013. The 11 papers presented in this volume were carefully
reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. RFIDsec deals with
topics of importance to improving the security and privacy of RFID,
NFC, contactless technologies, and the Internet of Things. RFIDsec
bridges the gap between cryptographic researchers and RFID
developers.
The outcome of innovation processes are determined by complex,
historically grown valuation practices. In this book, a wide range
of innovations are taken into consideration, from small inventions
like entertainment novelties to large societal changes through new
technologies. The chapters observe the particular local or
distributed sites in which their episodes of innovation take place,
and they identify the initial dissonance among those judging a
newly proposed alternative. The emphasis of the inquiry, however,
is on the practices of valuation that are at work when something
succeeds in being "new". The authors represent a wide variety of
sub-disciplines and national backgrounds in the social sciences.
They share an interest in social valuation and a pragmatist
approach. The differences between their empirical evidence reflect
the wide variety of appearances that valuation takes in
contemporary society. They are anthropologists, economic or
cultural sociologists, organization researchers, historians or
political scientists. A number of chapters deals with aesthetic
valuation, as in the tasting of a new vintage, or in the
socio-technical process that shaped successful synthesizer sounds.
Other chapters discuss the judgment processes in organizations,
like architect offices or consultancy firms, and processes of
evaluation and valorization in larger fields of practice, like
accounting or mathematics. The studies are both of interest in
their various professional fields, and contribute to a more general
understanding of the social and cultural conditions under which
innovations fail and succeed.

Innovation als dauerhafte kreative Anstrengung und systematische
Durchsetzung des Neuen gilt als Kerninstitution moderner
Wirtschaft. Gegenwartig beobachten wir eine Ausweitung auf alle
Felder, Arten und Phasen der Innovation: Innovationsprozesse - so
die These - werden zunehmend reflexiv im Lichte von Informationen
uber Innovationen gesehen, breiter verteilt von mehr Akteuren und
heterogenen Instanzen gestaltet und situativ orientiert an
wechselnden und gemischten Leitreferenzen vollzogen. Reflexive
Innovation in diesem Sinne wird zur treibenden Kraft der
Innovationsgesellschaft. Die Beitrage wurden von Antragstellern,
Gasten und Gutachtern des DFG-Graduiertenkollegs
"Innovationsgesellschaft heute: Die reflexive Herstellung des
Neuen" verfasst.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Politik - Sonstige
Themen, Note: 1, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 4. August 2011,
London: Einheiten der Londoner Polizei bewegen sich im
Problemviertel Tottenham. Es handelt sich um einen Einsatz im
Rahmen der organisierten Bandenkriminalitat, welche in diesem
Stadtteil seit Jahrzehnten floriert. Kriminelle Gruppierungen aus
Kulturen aus aller Welt treffen hier aufeinander, weshalb Tottenham
als eines der Zentren der Bandenkriminalitat Londons gilt. Kurz
darauf liegt ein 29-jahriger blutuberstromt am Boden - getroffen
von der Kugel aus der Waffe eines Polizisten. Die anfangliche
Argumentation der Londoner Polizei, der Schutze habe aus Notwehr
gehandelt, wird kurz darauf widerlegt. Der Tod von Mark Duggan ist
der Ausgangspunkt fur eine Serie von gewalttatigen Ausschreitungen
in ganz Grossbritannien, welche auf der ganzen Welt erhebliche
mediale Aufmerksamkeit erreichte und den Tod von funf Menschen zur
Folge hatte. Da die Beteiligten an den tagelangen teils
burgerkriegsahnlichen Zustanden zumeist weder einen politischen
noch einen ideologischen Hintergrund hatten, versuche ich zu Beginn
der Arbeit die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen fur junge
Migranten in Grossbritannien sowie den Einfluss der organisierten
Bandenkriminalitat auf die Unruhen zu erortern. Nur so ist es
moglich zu verstehen, wie es zu einer derart gewalttatigen
Eskalation wie im August 2011 kommen konnte."
