Binding: Paperback
Description: Industrial transformation is a research and teaching field with a focus on the phenomenon and mechanisms of industrial development and renewal. It concerns changes in economic activities caused by innovation competition and collaboration and has a rich heritage of evolutionary economics institutional economics industrial dynamics technology history and innovation studies. It borrows concepts and models from the social sciences (sociology history political sciences business/management economics behavioural sciences) and also from technology and engineering studies. In this book the authors present the key theories frameworks and concepts of industrial transformation and use empirical cases to describe and explain the causes processes and outcomes of transformation in the context of digitalization and sustainability. They stress that industrial transformation consists both of Darwinian "survival of the fittest" selection and of intentional pursuits of innovation and of industrial capabilities creation. The work argues that managing the global trends of transformation is not only about new technology and innovation: existing institutional settings and dynamic interactions between technological change organizational adaptation and economic activities also have a profound impact on future trajectories. The areas under investigation are of great relevance for strategic management decisions and industrial and technology policies and understanding the mechanisms underlying transformation and sustainable growth.
