Technological innovations: a framework for communicating diffusion effects

How does technological innovation and diffusion affect inter-industry workersメ mobility?

Does technological change amount to accumulation of general, and so transferable, human capital? To approach this question I rely on a theoretical framework in which the “technology distance” between industries reduces inter-industry transferability of workers’ skill. Empirically, I use US panel data on individual intra-industry and inter-industry mobility decisions between 1982 and 1990, a per...

Need to Knowledge (NtK) Model: an evidence-based framework for generating technological innovations with socio-economic impacts

BACKGROUND Traditional government policies suggest that upstream investment in scientific research is necessary and sufficient to generate technological innovations. The expected downstream beneficial socio-economic impacts are presumed to occur through non-government market mechanisms. However, there is little quantitative evidence for such a direct and formulaic relationship between public in...

Organizational Resistance to Performance-enhancing Technological Innovations: a Motivation-threat-ability Framework

Future online teachers’ scaffolding: what sort of advanced technological innovations teachers would like to see on future distance training projects?

This study examined and organised comments made by teachers participating in a variety of learning communities in order to sort a list of recommendations for future development of webbased teachers’ training taking into consideration possible trajectories of web powerful technological innovations. The comments are organised under a theoretical framework of professional scaffolding.
