Engaging and authoritative, those committed to action in government, business, civil society or academia, could not hope for a more insightful, inspiring or pragmatic companion." - Andy Stirling, Professor of Science & Technology Policy, University of Sussex, UK "At a time when the challenges for ?people and planet? are more pressing than ever, innovation becomes a crucial matter of concern. Can it be part of the solution or only of the problem? Is it possible to imagine innovation working in more responsible, inclusive and transformative ways? Finally, we have a textbook which will inspire and inform a new generation of business and management students ? and give the older generation much to ponder. This is an excellent, and much-needed, introduction to an essential field of contemporary research and practice." - Alan Irwin, Professor in the Department of Organization, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark Innovation is changing. Traditionally viewed as a tool for financial return and market growth, there is mounting pressure to rethink and reframe the theory and practice of innovation for the pressing sustainability and inequality challenges of our era. This textbook provides students with a research-informed dive into the emerging space of innovation for systems/transformative change. Combining real-world case studies with interdisciplinary theory, it shows how and why innovation for urgent global challenges requires a systems-based approach. Relevant for students and instructors of business and management, particularly innovation studies, development studies and related fields, this book is the first to provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and research-informed overview of alternative approaches to innovation focused on systemic change.

Introduction -- 2. The first sociology in Ecuador -- 3. The failed attempt to modernize sociology from the 1940s -- 4. Critical Sociology -- 5. Conclusions. 330 $aThis Palgrave Pivot presents a concise yet comprehensive history of sociology in Ecuador. The case of Ecuador is especially interesting, as Ecuadorian sociology oscillated between theoretical debates?some of them out of time?and a constant search for ways of applying them to the local reality. In the decades after its formal creation in 1915, early academic sociology in Ecuador worked creatively with already outdated theories around positivism and organicism to understand the indigenous population's position, the regional fragmentation, and the formation of a coherent nation-state in Ecuador. After a short attempt of installing a more technical sociology in the 1960s, those topics were taken up and re-read by Marxist-inspired critical sociology after the 1970s, leading to the nation-wide institutionalization of one particular tradition that could connect to continental debates. This book engages with several relevant debates in social sciences and humanities, particularly by adding tothe thriving research on social sciences and the role of the university and higher education in Latin America. Furthermore, it touches some recently influential topics in sociology: Ecuadorian sociology can be read as Southern Theory or engaged with from a postcolonial or decolonial perspective; the research on how ideas travel, are diffused or localized is vital for understanding sociology in Ecuador; the relation between academia and politics; and more. Philipp Altmann is Professor Titular for Sociological Theory at the Universidad Central del Ecuador. He works on how ideas spread, on the intersection of discourse analysis, history of concepts, and sociology of knowledge. . 410 0$aSociology Transformed,$x2947-5031 606 $aSociology$xHistory 606 $aSociology 606 $aLatin America$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Sociology 606 $aSociological Theory 606 $aLatin American History 615 0$aSociology$xHistory. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aLatin America$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Sociology. 615 24$aSociological Theory. 615 24$aLatin American History. 676 $a986.6 676 $a301.09866 700 $aAltmann$b Philipp$0916886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910632479103321 996 $aSociology in Ecuador$92982383 997 $aUNINA
