Abstract: Traditionelle Wege der Erzeugung, Implementation und Vermarktung neuer Technologien erweisen sich als zunehmend ungeeignet zur Lösung von Zukunftsproblemen. Sozialwissenschaftliche Innovationsforschung, die sich mit gescheiterten Innovationen, risikoreichen Projekten und der Wirkung staatlicher Technologiepolitik befaßt, liefert dafür zahlreiche Hinweise. Auf einer Tagung des Verbundes Sozialwissenschaftliche Technikforschung wurden Ansätze eines gesellschaftlichen Innovationsmanagements diskutiert, das sozialen und institutionellen Faktoren hohe Bedeutung für den Erfolg von Innovationen beimißt. Inhaltsverzeichnis: Dieter Sauer: Perspektiven sozialwissenschaftlicher Innovationsforschung - eine Einleitung (9-22); Hartmut Hirsch-Kreinsen, Volker Wittke: Soziale Konstitution und Internationalisierung von Innovationsprozessen (25-49); Pierre Veltz: Innovation im Spannungsfeld von Globalisierung und Regionalisierung (51-56); Rob van Tulder: Meso Institutions and Innovation Paradoxes (5

Why do engines make cars go? What is horsepower and why is it important? How can the sun power new cars? The answers to all those questions--and more--are in science . . . and in this book. Look under the hood and in the driver's seat to find out how cars and science are linked. And it's not just cars--science is all around us, every hour of every day. Discover more ways that science is a part of our lives in SCIENCE 24-7! Each title in this series contains color photos, diagrams explaining key science concepts, hands-on activities, and back matter including: an index, further reading lists for books and internet resources, and a series glossary. Mason Crest's editorial team has placed Key Icons to Look for throughout the books in this series in an effort to encourage library readers to build knowledge, gain awareness, explore possibilities and expand their viewpoints through our content rich non-fiction books. Key Icons are as follows: Words to Understand are shown at the front of each chapter with definitions. These words are then used in the prose throughout that chapter, and are emboldened, so that the reader is able to reference back to the definitions- building their vocabulary and enhancing their reading comprehension. Sidebars are highlighted graphics with content rich material within that allows readers to build knowledge and broaden their perspectives by weaving together additional information to provide realistic and holistic perspectives. A Series Glossary of Key Terms is included in the back matter contains terminology used throughout the series. Words found here broaden the reader's knowledge and understanding of terms used in this field.
