Innovation as co-evolution of scientific and technological networks: exploring tissue engineering

The question of exactly how science is commercialized is an important one. While the social structures of “science” and “technology” are distinctive, recent work suggests that scientific and technological ideas in fact co-evolve. This paper addresses the dynamics of such co-evolution: are scientific networks deeply co-mingled with networks through which technology is created and if so how? It d...

Technological Innovation

This paper considers how manufacturing companies within the supply chain are increasingly expected to provide technologically innovative solutions, rather than simple components. Large global companies are becoming system builders, but as they devolve greater responsibility for technology to suppliers, they are also squeezing cost and timescales. Planning for specific future technology requirem...
