Technology and the Future of European Employment

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: What is the potential of the new information and communication technologies? This book, now available in paperback, assesses the relationship between technological change and employment in all its dimensions, focusing on contemporary economies in Europe. The authors discuss patterns of growth and the type of employment that countries might expect to be created following the introduction of these new technologies. Also analyzed is the extent to which firms should adjust to more favorable production and distribution patterns. Institutional change is another issue addressed in detail as this encompasses the organization of working time, systems of education and innovation and the welfare state. The final section of the book addresses the future of European employment not only from the competitive position of Europe in a global economy but also the new societal and demographic contexts that will challenge European economies in the future. Technology and the Future of European… [detailed...]

Technology and the Making of the Netherlands: The Age of Contested Modernization, 1890-1970

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This study offers both an account of twentieth-century technology in the Netherlands and a view of Dutch history through the lens of technology. It describes the trajectory of modernization through technology in certain characteristically Dutch contexts—including the omnipresence of water, the pervasiveness of urbanization coupled with a high-tech agricultural sector, and the legacy of colonialism—but at the same time makes it clear that Dutch struggles over technology choices, infrastructure development, mass production, and the role of government are comparable to the experience of any Western industrialized country. The book, which synthesizes findings originally presented in a series of seven volumes published in the Netherlands, uses the idea of contested modernization as an overarching concept through which to understand Dutch technological history. The modernizers of Dutch society—including engineers, management consultants, architects, and others—did not always agree on how… [detailed...]

Technology and the New Economy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: One of the most important forces driving economic performance in the United States and other countries during the 1990s was the rise of information technology. The new technology has had such a significant impact on the economy that `the new economy` emerged as a popular term in both the media and academia. This book, written in an accessible style, examines basic questions about the effects of information technology on various aspects of the economy. The topics include the relationship between innovation and the stock market value of the innovating firm, competition policy, demand factors as determinants of growth, institutional aspects of the innovation process, and the effectiveness of monetary policy in stabilizing the economy.

Technology and the Pursuit of Economic Growth

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Technology`s contribution to economic growth and competitiveness has been the subject of vigorous debate in recent years. This book demonstrates the importance of a historical perspective in understanding the role of technological innovation in the economy. The authors examine key episodes and institutions in the development of the U.S. research system and in the development of the research systems of other industrial economies. They argue that the large potential contributions of economics to the understanding of technology and economic growth have been constrained by the narrow theoretical framework employed within neoclassical economies. A richer framework, they believe, will support a more fruitful dialogue among economists, policymakers, and managers on the organization of public and private institutions for innovation. David Mowery is Associate Professor of Business and Public Policy at the School of Business Administration, University of California, Berkeley. Nathan… [detailed...]

Technology in America

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This brief history of technology in America begins with the colonial period but emphasizes the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The authors break new ground by concentrating on the impact of American society and culture on technology, instead of taking the traditional approach (considering the impact of technology on culture). The organization of the text reflects this perspective by following conventional American history periodization rather than a more limited industry-oriented outline (pre-industrial, industrial, and postindustrial). Part Two employs systems and systemization as a theme. The final section of the text (post-1950) has been completely rewritten to reflect recent scholarship and technological advances. [detailed...]

Technology, Adaptation, and Exports: How Some Countries Got It Right

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The literature on technological change and growth has mainly used econometric models to establish that factors, such as the degree of openness, skills, research and development expenditures, number of patents etc., are critical determinants of innovation and its effect on growth. However, this approach fails to explain the role of institutions and policies that created the environment for innovation. Using 10 case studies from developing countries, this book examines how governments fostered technological adaptation through public-private partnerships to develop world-class exporters in high-growth, non-traditional industries. `It is now widely recognized that technological learning and upgrading is an essential part of the economic development process, and that government programs have a profound influence on the effectiveness and direction of technological learning. The ten case studies contained in this volume get into the details of how learning has proceeded and the programs… [detailed...]

The authors discuss three related areas: how we think about technology and international relations/international political economy, in what sense technology is a fundamental component of national competitive advantage and what national, local and corporate policy should be in light of this, and what the relationship is between technological innovation and global and political economics change. Technology is discussed not just in an instrumental sense-- as a tool of power and an object of policy--but equally in a transcendental sense--as a key… [detailed...]

Technology, Humans, and Society focuses on building a model for business and engineering that will lead to a sustainable world. The challenge for engineering is to develop new technologies that enable economic growth and do not deplete irreplaceable resources and destroy ecological systems. No longer solely the domain of environmentalists and ecologists, `sustainable` or `green` business practices and engineering designs are becoming a central part of the planning of many of the world`s most influential companies, such as Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell, Dow, and Agilent. Companies are overwhelmingly not only finding that sustainable business and engineering practices are good for environment, but also improve the… [detailed...]

Technology, Innovation, and Southern Industrialization: From the Antebellum Era to the Computer Age (New Currents in the History of Southern Economy and Society Series)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The South has typically been viewed as a region not favorably disposed to innovation and technology, yet innovation was never absent from industrialization. These seven essays assess the role of innovations in the region, some by examining specific industries in subregions: steamboats in the lower Mississippi valley, textile manufacturing in Georgia and Arkansas, coal mining in Virginia, and sugar planting and processing in Louisiana. Others consider the role of technology in South Carolina textile mills around the turn of the twentieth century, the electrification of the Tennessee valley, and telemedicine in contemporary Arizona. Together, these articles show that southerners set significant limitations on the adoption of technological innovations, particularly in a milieu where slaveholding agriculture had shaped the allocation of resources.

Technology, Institutions, and Economic Growth

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This volume mounts a full-blown attack on the standard neo-classical theory of economic growth, which Richard Nelson sees as hopelessly inadequate to explain the phenomenon of economic growth. He presents an alternative theory which highlights that economic growth driven by technological advance involves disequilibrium in a fundamental and continuing way. Nelson also argues that a theory of economic growth driven by technological advance must recognize a range of institutions, such as universities, public laboratories, and government agencies, in addition to business firms and markets. He further argues that growth theories that focus on an aggregate measure of growth, such as GNP per capita, are blind to what is going on beneath the aggregate, where differing rates of advance in different sectors, and the birth and death of industries are an essential part of the growth process. The broad theory of economic growth Nelson presents sees the process as involving the co-evolution of… [detailed...]

Technology, Knowledge And The Firm: Implications For Strategy And Industrial Change

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThere is a long-standing tradition of research that highlights the importance of differences in the organizational and technological capabilities of firms and their effect on economic performance. This book expands on this theme by exploring the role of knowledge and innovation in firm strategy and industrial change. Underlying the volume is the belief that firms have distinctive methods of operation and that these processes have a strong element of continuity. The authors examine the role played by firms in developing, linking and utilizing the knowledge produced in many different social institutions in order to advance their organizational and technological skills. They demonstrate how understanding the manner in which firms enhance their capabilities is essential for recognizing how the economy operates and changes as a whole. To help illuminate the crucial role of knowledge and innovation, the authors use international data and insightful case studies of firms… [detailed...]
