Lately I asked the Aoir-Mailing-List
to support me with litearture on the history of innovation. I got very helpful replies. The list is here now
- Bijker, W. E. (1995). Of bicycles, bakelites, and bulbs: Toward a theory
of sociotechnical change. Cambridge, MA and London, England, The MIT
Press. - Everett Rogers’ “Diffusion of Innovations”
- Bruno Latour, Michael Callon, John Law, and the other actor network folk
- ‘the political economy of innovation’
- Clayton Christensen disruptive innovation stuff
- edited by John Seely Brown - Insights on Innovation Link
- Eric von Hippel’s “Source of Innovation” - Oxford University Press - he discusses the front-end of the innovation process - where innovations are actually developed
- FYI The European Commission is planning a two day meeting Sept 14th/15th on Innovation and emerging technology convergencies
- For an interesting discussion of educator learning object use placed in the context of the adoption of innovations, see Friesen, N. (2004). Three Objections to Learning Objects. In McGreal, R. (Ed.). Online Education Using Learning Objects. London: Routledge/Falmer. Link
- Winston, Brian (1998): Media, Technology and Society. A History: From the Telegraph to the Internet. London/New York>
- Marvin, Carolyn (???): When old Technologies were new: thinking about electric communication in the late nineteenth century
Now, it would be great to get some more references on that topic and on ethnography as methodology for researching in business contexts (knowledge management, communities of practice. If you have any sources for me thanks, please post it in the comments section.
