Technological Change and the Evolution of Corporate Innovation: The Structure of Patenting 1890-1990 (PREST/CRIC Studies in Science, Technology and ... in Science, Technology and Innovation series)

By Birgitte Andersen

In this book Birgitte Andersen revisits in a modern context the ideas of Kuznets on technological growth paths, but emphasizes the stuctural variety in patenting where earlier authors focused on aggregate trends. The book represents the development of a major research project on patenting which is providing a solid quantitative base for examining these issues over a period spanning the 20th century. Economics and history are woven into the data in order to interpret the processes of change.
