Based on extensive fieldwork in India, the book fuses economic and sociological perspectives on information sharing by means of informal interaction in a low-technology cluster in a developing country. In doing so, the book sheds new light on settings where economic relations arise as emergent properties of social relations. This book examines industrial innovation and microeconomic network behaviour among producers and clusters, perceiving knowledge diffusion to be a socially-spatial, as much as a geographically spatial, phenomenon. This is achieved by employing two methods - simulation modelling, and (quantitative, qualitative, and historical) social network analysis. The simulation model, based on its findings, motivates two empirical studies - one descriptive case and one network study - of low-tech rural and semi-urban traditional technology clusters in Kerala state in southern India. These cases demonstrate two contrasting stories of how social cohesion either supports or thwarts informal information sharing and learning. This book pushes towards an economic-sociology approach to understanding knowledge diffusion and technological learning, which perceives innovation and learning as being more social processes than the mainstream view perceives them to be. In doing so, it makes a significant contribution to the literature on defensive innovation and the role of networks in technological innovation and knowledge diffusion, as well as to policy studies of Indian small firm and traditional technology clusters"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in development economics ;$v115. 606 $aTechnological innovations$zIndia 606 $aSocial networks$zIndia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTechnological innovations 615 0$aSocial networks 676 $a338.8/70954 700 $aKamath$b Anant.$0944959 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463636503321 996 $aIndustrial innovation, networks, and economic development$92133358 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02316oam 2200529 450 001 9910706940803321 005 20180419093216.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002460071 035 $a(OCoLC)654907796$z(OCoLC)896810682 035 $a(OCoLC)995470000002460071 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002460071 100 $a20100810d1979 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aStorm and flood of July 31-August 1, 1976, in the Big Thompson River and Cache la Poudre River Basins, Larimer and Weld Counties, Colorado /$freport prepared jointly by the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; cooperating organization, Colorado Geological Survey 210 1$aWashington :$cUnited States Department of the Interior, Geological Survey,$d1979. 215 $a1 online resource (v, 152 pages) $cillustrations, maps 225 1 $aGeological Survey professional paper ;$v1115 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $apart A.
