Overview

This volume draws on the latest research to provide an innovative analysis of the processes through which managerial actors implement technological discontinuities at firm level. The conceptual framework of management mobilisation and technological change is illustrated by original empirical evidence on the Finnish paper industry sector which has achieved a strong strategic position in its field and been at the forefront of significant technological innovation. The in-depth longitudinal analysis examines the relationship between managerial action and discontinuous technological change. Managing Technological Discontinuities is a rich and theoretically grounded analysis of the processes of change which provides a corrective to many under-theorised accountsof technological change and the management of change.
