"The Challenge of Remaining Innovative" explores innovation as a
complex phenomenon that may be organizational as well as
technological, that operates both within firms and across the
broader economy, and that involves matters not only of research and
development, but also of marketing, design, and government
relations. The contributors explore two main themes: the challenge
of remaining innovative and the necessity of managing institutional
boundaries in doing so.
The collection is organized into four parts, which move outward
from individual firms; to networks or clusters of firms; to
consultants and other intermediaries in the private economy who
operate outside of the firms themselves; and finally to government
institutions and politics. This scheme delineates a variety of ways
in which entrepreneurship has persisted across the 20th
century--and accentuates how ongoing organizational re-arrangement
has contributed mightily to its sustained vitality.
Efforts to create and mold new technologies have been a central, recurrent feature of the American experience since at least the time of the Revolution. Many of the most tumultuous events in the nation's history have involved disputes over the appropriateness and desirability of particular technologies. For nearly a century, railroad technology persistently posed novel challenges for Americans, prompting them to reexamine their most cherished institutions and beliefs. Covering a now neglected aspect of American history, Usselman traces their myriad struggles in rich detail.
