Industrial Organisation of High- Technology Markets

The Internet and Information Technologies

Stefano Comino,

University of Udine and

Fabio Maria Manenti,

University of Padua, Italy

‘What do Google, Facebook, mobile phones and creative commons have in common? The answer is: economics! Stefano Comino and Fabio Manenti have written a crisp and thorough treatment of the economics of information and communications technologies This valuable book fills

a real gap in the market.’

– Tommaso Valletti, Imperial College Business School, UKThis text rigorously blends theory with real-world applications

to study the industrial organisation of the ICT sector Each

of the self-contained chapters, which can be studied in isolation, contains theoretical models that are presented in

a clear and accessible way Throughout, a series of useful boxes complements and elucidates the theories with additional empirical/anecdotal evidence This text will be of great interest to advanced undergraduate students with a background in microeconomics and game theory, particularly those taking courses in industrial organisation, innovation economics and the economics of networks

Innovation Economics & Policy

Mike Wright, Imperial

College Business School

London, UK and University

of Ghent, Belgium and

David J Ketchen, Jr., Auburn University, US

‘For many, the process of publishing in the best

management journals is an enigma wrapped in a mystery

Even when they are successful, they are never sure why

And too often rejections hurt, but don’t provide insight

about how to increase the likelihood of success This book

begins to unwrap this enigma by describing the process

and providing practical guidance that scholars at all levels

can use to navigate this intellectual minefield I wish I had

this book earlier in my career.’

– Jay B Barney, University of Utah, US

‘Scholars seek to have their work published in the top

journals, both because these elite outlets provide the most

visible platforms for research products and because they

confer stature on the authors and their institutions Of

course, getting published in the top journals is known to be

devilishly difficult This book, How to Get Published in the

Best Management Journals, consisting of chapters written

by premier, highly accomplished scholars from around

the world, provides invaluable insights – ranging from the

philosophical and motivational to the tactical and

nitty-gritty I wish this book had existed when I was starting out,

and I will be encouraging my students and colleagues to

dig into it.’

– Donald C Hambrick, Pennsylvania State University, US

An increasing number of universities around the globe

are rewarding faculty who place their work in top

management journals Drawing on the insights from

top journal editors and leading scholars in the field, this

book is a treasure trove of tips for publishing in the best

management journals

The topics covered include the mysteries of the review

process, getting your methodology right, publishing across

disciplinary boundaries, the rise of open access journals,

publishing ethics, making use of peer review, targeting

special issues, sustaining a publications career, and making

sense of journal rankings

Drawing on the considerable experience of its authors,

and offering candid insights that are often held as secrets

among senior faculty, this book takes the reader behind

the scenes of the journal review process, making it a

must-read for those seeking to advance their career

Technology Displaced by Financial Innovation

William Kingston, Trinity

College, Dublin, Ireland

‘This sweeping account of the rise and projected fall of capitalism

is as original as it is gripping

Kingston locates the hinge that moves capitalism as the institutions governing intellectual property rights, and argues persuasively that the system

is now undermining itself as innovation shifts from the technological to the financial domain.’

– John A Mathews, Macquarie Graduate School of

Management, Sydney

‘It is a serious piece of scholarship Integrating economic history, economic thought, patent-hoarding, venture capital and the changing global economy, Kingston asks

if modern capitalism might be an internally inconsistent system Like Schumpeter, he is concerned that creative innovation might be stagnating into institutional ossification It is an interesting argument, well presented, cross-disciplinary and thought-provoking.’

Handbook of Innovation Policy Impact

Edited by Jakob Edler, Paul Cunningham, Abdullah Gök, University

of Manchester and Philip Shapira, University of

Manchester, UK, and Georgia Institute of Technology, US

‘This highly authoritative volume offers a unique overview and synthesis of the available knowledge on innovation policy impacts It will be indispensable reading for scholars

as well as policy makers interested in this relatively new and rapidly growing field of public policy.’

– Jan Fagerberg, University of Oslo, Norway

Innovation Economics & Policy

Montreal, Canada

This Companion provides a comprehensive

state-of-the-art overview and critical evaluation of existing conceptualizations and new developments in innovation research Arguing that innovation research requires inter- and transdisciplinary explanations and methodological pluralism at various levels, it draws on multiple perspectives of innovation, knowledge and creativity from economics, geography, history, management,

political science and sociology The Companion provides

the definitive guide to the field and introduces new approaches, perspectives and developments

Handbook of Innovation and Standards

Edited by Richard Hawkins, University of Calgary, Canada, Knut Blind, Berlin University of

Technology, Germany and Erasmus University,

the Netherlands and Robert Page, University of

Calgary, CanadaInnovation and standardization might seem to represent polar opposites, but over many years, various scholars have noted close connections between the two This

Handbook assembles a broad range of thinking on

this subject, from several disciplinary perspectives, as contributed by over 30 leading scholars and experienced practitioners Collectively, they summarize and synthesize the existing body of knowledge (theory and evidence) pertaining to standards and innovation, and provide many insights into how this knowledge can be useful to scholars, industrial strategists, policy-makers and standards practitioners

Drawn from leading experts in several social science

disciplines, this Handbook provides new insights into

innovation processes and systems using theoretical, empirical and applied approaches

Aug 2017 c 480 pp Hardback 978 1 78347 007 5 c £140.00

Different theories, models and narratives of innovation

compete for both legitimacy and authority However,

despite the variations, they all offer a consistent

pro-innovation bias, relegating imitators to a non-innovative

role, dismissing resistance as irrational, and overlooking

the value of non-users and collateral impacts This book

looks at innovation from a different perspective and asks,

what has been left out? It offers a reflexive view and invites

researchers to consider new avenues of research, through

a critique of current representations of innovation

Edited by Philippe Larédo, Université Paris-Est, France

and Sally Randles, University of Manchester, UK

This book is born from increasing attention in social and

political sciences, and from policy actors, to the topic of

responsible innovation Most have focused on the creation

of new governance frameworks which entreat research and

innovation actors to be more ‘responsible’ in the sense of

being more responsive to societal problems and needs The

authors have chosen a different starting point and take a

step back from this prescriptive lens to develop the concept

of de-facto responsible innovation They argue, and

illustrate through a series of short case studies, that certain

actors are already adept and skilled at identifying and

addressing perceived wrongs in the world, and that these

actors collectively create organisational structures and

governance mechanisms which are aimed at steering and

transforming practice As a process of mutual adaptation

and societal transformation, this approach to responsible

innovation foregrounds the role and capabilities of

values-motivated entrepreneurial actors in institutional change

Bengt-Åke Lundvall, Aalborg University, Denmark

Lund University, Sweden and Shagufta Haneef,

Aalborg University, Denmark

Since its emergence in the 1980s the national innovation

system (NIS) concept has become widely used by scholars

and policymakers alike In the course of its rapid diffusion

it has provoked controversy on fundamental issues

Where did NIS emerge? What is the theoretical core of the

concept? Is it actually a scientific concept or simply a

buzz-word? How useful is it in terms of low income countries?

Is it meaningful to study national systems in a globalizing

economy? What are the legitimate policy implications? This

book provides an in depth analysis of all these questions as

well as recommending future avenues of research

Innovation and Liberalization in the European Defence Sector

A Small Country Perspective

Fulvio Castellacci, University of Oslo and NUPI and Arne Fevolden, University of Oslo and

Nordic Institute for Studies in Innovation, Research and Education, Norway

‘The defence sector is a critical industry that is currently undergoing a phase of momentous

transformation Over the last twenty years, market liberalization, the growing instability of

geo-political scenarios and rapid technological change have completely reshaped the structural features

of this industry Taking as a starting point the Norwegian case, Fulvio Castellacci and Arne Fevolden

provide a very acute analysis of the main trends of evolution of the European defence industry Their

study makes good use of the latest insights emerging from the economics of innovation, international

trade and industrial dynamics literature One of the most innovative features of Castellacci and

Fevolden’s approach is the construction of an industry-tailored agent based simulation model that permits the systematic exploration of different policy scenarios Because of its broad scope and its original approach, this book is going to represent fundamental reading for all economists and political scientists interested in the defence industry for a long time to come.’

Smart Technologies and the End(s) of Law

Novel Entanglements of Law and Technology

Mireille Hildebrandt, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium and Radboud University

Edited by Gabriela Dutrénit,

Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco,

Mexico and Judith Sutz,

Universidad de la República, Uruguay

in a new theoretical and political light The focus is upon how innovation processes can become inclusive; a major challenge for the non-egalitarian Latin American countries The analytical framework combines Amartya Sen’s capacity approach with a knowledge economics perspective One major conclusion is that there is a need for ambitious public policy initiatives aiming explicitly at inclusiveness The book offers a new perspective on innovation systems and innovation policy and it is of interest for innovation scholars

as well as for policy makers responsible for the design of development strategies in emerging economies.’

Innovati on & Development

Economic Catch-up and Technological Leapfrogging

The Path to Development and Macroeconomic Stability in Korea

Keun Lee, Seoul Nati onal

University, Korea

‘The Korean experience has fascinated scholars around the world as one of the most remarkable stories of “catch-up” from very low to high levels of development This book, by one of the leading Korean experts on industrial policy, argues that catch-up

is not about following the paths of frontrunners but rather about fi nding new path to technologically “leapfrog” The applicati on of this fundamental insight into the Korean story will be recognized as a landmark in this debate.’

Edited by Stefan Kuhlmann,

University of Twente and

Gonzalo Ordóñez-Matamoros,

University of Twente, the

Netherlands and Universidad

Externado de Colombia

‘This Research Handbook addresses head-on one of the

main challenges of the 21st century: how to realize the new

Sustainable Development Goals in emerging economies and

developing countries The contributors not only off er fi

rst-rate and original research, but also daringly take normati ve

stances on how to bett er use knowledge, science, technology

and innovati on for development The volume criti cally

reviews existi ng innovati on policies and convincingly off ers

a comprehensive set of alternati ve models The turn from a

traditi onal growth-based innovati on policy to a more socially

inclusive policy transcends the divide between development

studies and science, technology and innovati on studies This

book therefore is also highly relevant for the emerging fi eld

of RRI (Responsible Research and Innovati on).’
