520			_aInnovation has replaced efficiency as the dominant problematic for all types of organization. Yet, innovation has been the Achilles heel of the organization sciences. The problems of efficiency have dominated, and innovation has been treated as an infrequent, dramatic event. Orthodox organization design has neglected innovation in the product, the production process, the international market, corporate expertise and other areas in the search for simplistic empirical recipes. This book provides a comprehensive and coherent agenda and analysis of issues in the field of innovation in technology and organization. Addressing both the innovation-diffusion and the innovation-design perspective, this book assesses radical and incremental innovation as part of a total process. The book is of direct relevance to all those concerned to develop a policy-oriented theory and approach to strategic innovation and to situate innovation in its inter-organizational and temporal contexts.
