This book:        questions the long-held assumption that new knowledge and innovation are universally advantageous  follows the tremor of an innovation as new knowledge reverberates through, or is dampened by the larger economic community - including cultural structures, the industrial standards and the foundational assumptions that rule a particular economic domain  focuses in particular on the interfaces where the innovative agent connects to its customers, suppliers and competitors.      An ideal reference source for postgraduate students taking advanced courses in science and technology studies, innovation management, industrial marketing and purchasing, technological development and innovation systems.
