Technological Trajectories, Markets, Institutions - Industrialized Countries, 19th-20th Centuries

From context dependency to path dependency/Trajectoires technologiques, Marchés, Institutions - Les pays industrialisés, 19e-20e siècles. De la dépendance du contexte à la dépendance de sentier. Edited by Laurent Tissot and Béatrice Veyrassat. With the collaboration of Michèle Merger and Antoine Glaenzer. This collection of thirteen essays (three of them in french) arises from a session held at the Twelfth International Economic Congress in Madrid (August 1998). The historical case studies presented here demonstrate the complex dependence of technological forms on shifting background conditions like market changes or institutional developments. The contributions scrutinise the conditions in terms of trajectories - firm or industry specific in some essays, regional or national in others - explaining stability or reorientation. 352 Seiten, broschiert (Peter Lang Verlag 2001) Mängelexemplar/near mint
