Challenging the Innovation Paradigm is a critical analysis of the innovation frenzy and contemporary innovation research. The one-sided focus on desirable effects of innovation misses many opportunities to reduce the undesirable consequences. Authors in this book show how systemic effects outside the innovating firms reduce the net benefits of innovation for individual employees, customers, as well as for society as a whole - also the innovators' own organizations.This book analyzes the dominant discourses that construct Routledge studies in technology, work and organizations ;9.Technological innovationsEconomic aspectsDiffusion of innovationsResearch, IndustrialTechnological innovationsEconomic aspects.Diffusion of innovations.Research, Industrial.338/.064Sveiby Karl Erik107442Gripenberg Pernilla1696198Segercrantz Beata1696199MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821723803321Challenging the innovation paradigm4075988UNINA
