| Summary |
"The key message of this book is that heterogeneity should be seen as an intrinsic and indispensable element of knowledge systems. The authors address the concept of heterogeneity in a multi-disciplinary fashion, including perspectives from evolutionary economics and innovation system studies, and relate this approach to existing theories in a broad range of fields." "Diversity in the Knowledge Economy and Society will appeal to academics and researchers of innovation and science, knowledge management and economics."--BOOK JACKET |
