Studies On Science And The Innovation Process: Selected Works By Nathan Rosenberg

Studies On Science And The Innovation Process: Selected Works By Nathan Rosenberg

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd
2009
sidottu
Science and technology have become increasingly intertwined in the twentieth century. However, little attention has been paid to the forces that have brought about this condition. Indeed, many scholars have taken it simply for granted that causality always runs from science to technology. In this groundbreaking book, Rosenberg's research suggests that history and extensive empirical evidence lead to a reality that is far more complex as well as far more interesting. Here, Rosenberg's papers explore a wide range of pertinent issues, especially those connected with the innovative process, including the realms of electric power, electronics, chemicals, aircraft, medicine, instrumentation and, in particular, higher education and the organization of research activities.

Schumpeter and the Endogeneity of Technology

Schumpeter and the Endogeneity of Technology

Nathan Rosenberg

Routledge
2000
sidottu
Schumpeter's profoundly influential work developed the notion of the endogeneity of technology, and offered illuminating historical analyses of how and why some social systems have managed to generate innovation. This new interpretation explores Schumpeter's central ideas, and examines the ways in which the concept of endogeneity can illuminate recent American economic history.

Inside the Black Box

Inside the Black Box

Nathan Rosenberg

Cambridge University Press
1983
pokkari
Economists have long treated technological phenomena as events transpiring inside a black box and, on the whole, have adhered rather strictly to a self-imposed ordinance not to inquire too seriously into what transpires inside that box. The purpose of Professor Rosenberg’s work is to break open and examine the contents of the black box. In so doing, a number of important economic problems be powerfully illuminated. The author clearly shows how specific features of individual technologies have shaped a number of variables of great concern to economists: the rate of productivity improvement, the nature of learning processes underlying technological change itself, the speed of technology transfer, and the effectiveness of government policies that are intended to influence technologies in particular ways. The separate chapters of this book reflect a primary concern with some of the distinctive aspects of industrial technologies in the twentieth century, such as the increasing reliance upon science, but also the considerable subtlety and complexity of the dialectic between science and technology. Other concerns include the rapid growth in the development of costs associated with new technologies as well as the difficulty of predicting the eventual performance characteristics of newly emerging technologies.

Perspectives on Technology

Perspectives on Technology

Nathan Rosenberg

Cambridge University Press
1976
pokkari
Perspectives on Technology consists of papers written by Nathan Rosenberg over a ten-year period, from the early 1960s to the early 1970s. Their origin was in Professor Rosenberg's interest in long-term economic growth processes and, especially, in the behaviour of industrializing societies. The form and direction which this book has taken reflect two basic influences: (1) a growing awareness of the centrality of technological phenomena in generating economic growth, and (2) a growing sense that, in spite of the basic and genuine insights into technological phenomena provided by the neo-classical economics, a deeper and richer understanding of the phenomena can only be achieved by a willingness to step outside the limited intellectual boundaries of this mode of reasoning.

The process of technological change takes a wide variety of forms. Propositions that may be accurate when referring to the pharmaceutical industry may be totally inappropriate when applied to the aircraft industry or to computers or forest products. The central theme of Nathan Rosenberg's new book is the idea that technological changes are often 'path dependent', in the sense that their form and direction tend to be influenced strongly by the particular sequence of earlier events out of which a new technology has emerged. The book advances the understanding of technological change by explictly recognising its essential diversity and path-dependent nature. Individual chapters explore the particular features of new technologies in different historical and sectoral contexts. This book presents a unique account of how technological change is generated and the processes by which improved technologies are introduced.

Economic Planning in the British Building Industry, 1945-1949

Economic Planning in the British Building Industry, 1945-1949

Nathan Rosenberg

University of Pennsylvania Press
2017
sidottu
This volume undertakes the examination and appraisal of the economic controls employed by the British Labor Government in attempting to regulate the output of the building industry in the years immediately following the Second World War. An unfortunate consequence of earlier preoccupation with purely income-generating aspects of investment activity was that insufficient consideration was given to the allocation of investment resources. It was precisely this latter problem, however, which became a matter of major concern to the Labor Government. Its building program in the postwar years is examined here with particular reference to the program's peculiar structure and organization and the availability of building workers and materials. Discussion also covers the Government's administrative machinery for regulating building demand and for determining the uses to which building resources were put, as well as the priorities which the Government attempted to impose upon the industry and the consequences of specific policy decisions which were made in attempting to enforce these priorities. The British experience during the years between 1945 and 1949 provides numerous insights into the requirements and the problems associated with centralized planning of the operation of a private industry. The attempt to regulate the building industry is of increasing relevance in view of the growing recognition that nationalization is no panacea and that government planning must be more and more concerned with influencing the behavior of privately-operated industries. The importance of the present study is further enhanced by the fact that it deals with a strategic investment­ goods industry which must inevitably play a major role in the current and future "development planning" of underdeveloped countries. This work, therefore, is of special interest to economists concerned with the problems of government economic planning. Moreover, because of its strong focus upon the organizational and administrative aspects of government planning, Economic Planning in the British Building Industry is of vital interest to political scientists and all students of public administration.

THE EMERGENCE OF ECONOMIC IDEAS

THE EMERGENCE OF ECONOMIC IDEAS

Nathan Rosenberg

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
1994
sidottu
The most persistent theme of Nathan Rosenberg's work is a concern with the emergence and diffusion of economic ideas. Bringing together Professor Rosenberg's many contributions to the history of economic thought, this volume offers a series of important insights on how economics itself emerged as a distinct discipline.The Emergence of Economic Ideas extends our understanding of the development of capitalist institutions and the manner in which these institutions have contributed to the unique technological dynamism of capitalist societies. The book also - and necessarily - focuses upon the emergence of ideas about capitalism. That is to say, the discipline of economics is itself a body of ideas, and analytical techniques, that have been developed over the past two centuries in order to explain how capitalist economies have developed and how they work. Professor Rosenberg examines the key contributions - from Mandeville, Adam Smith, Babbage, Marx, Schumpeter and Stigler - in the growth of this critical collection of ideas.Economists interested in the emergence of their discipline and historians of ideas will welcome this collection which will make Professor Rosenberg's many substantial contributions more widely accessible to teachers, students and researchers.

Technology and the Wealth of Nations

Technology and the Wealth of Nations

Nathan Rosenberg; Ralph Landau; David C. Mowery

Stanford University Press
1992
sidottu
Most discussions of U.S. economic competitiveness focus on the creation of new technologies, but the abundant evidence presented in this timely book indicates that the key factor underpinning U.S. competitiveness is not the development of technology itself, but the factors that influence the commercialization of technology. The importance of effective management and performance in the commercialization of new technologies reflects today's changing environment. The post-war decades of undisputed U.S. scientific and technological hegemony have been replaced by a period in which U.S. firms are challenged by foreign competitors in some fields, and struggling to regain their former positions in others. Although the U.S. scientific research establishment arguably has lost little if any of its post-war preeminence, the same cannot be said with respect to the performance of U.S. firms as developers, adapters, and managers of new technologies, largely because government policies have not been conducive to successful commercialization of technology. As we enter the last decade of the twentieth century, economic policy and performance are being linked more and more closely to technology-related issues. Technology commercialization is now recognized as critical to this linkage, and this book constitutes a state-of-the-art analysis of this vital but often overlooked aspect of technological innovation. The sixteen papers in this volume contribute to three important tasks. First, they draw on new developments in theoretical and empirical analysis to integrate the macro-and microeconomic dimensions of technological innovation and commercialization. Second, they extend and enrich the macroeconomic analysis of growth, capital formation, and international economic interactions to highlight the influences of macroeconomic variables on technology commercialization. Technology and capital investment are shown to be complementary inputs to the growth process, which means that favorable investment conditions are prerequisites for higher growth rates. Third, they also extend and enrich the microeconomic analysis of technological innovation and commercialization, in the process providing guidance for managers seeking to improve performance in both of the areas.

How the West Grew Rich

How the West Grew Rich

Nathan Rosenberg; L. E. Birdzell Jr.

Bloomsbury Academic
2020
nidottu
How did the West - Europe and later North America - escape from the timeless cycle of hunger and hardship into sustained economic growth and prosperity? Why did industrialization first take place in the West? Why did the West leave the rest of the world behind? These are still questions that arouse enormous controversy: the Western economic miracle has been explained by everything form slavery to science. In this important and provocative book, Nathan Rosenberg and L. E. Birdzell, Jr. reevaluate the course of Western history from the Middle Ages to the present. They present a strong case for attributing the West’s unparalleled wealth and prosperity to the break-up of centralized political and religious controls. This they argue, resulted directly in rapid economic development by allowing small enterprises to make their own choices with regard to innovation - whether in the technical or organizational field, or in the extension of trade. The key themes in this exciting reinterpretation are the complex reciprocal relationship between science, technology and the market place and autonomy, experimentation and diversity. The author’s conclusions challenge many assumptions about the sources of Western economic strength, including recent theories in which mass production and the modern corporation are given instrumental roles. The issue of the West’s lead over the rest of the world is as relevant today as it has ever been. This book is a significant contribution to the continuing debate.

Technology and the Pursuit of Economic Growth

Technology and the Pursuit of Economic Growth

David C. Mowery; Nathan Rosenberg

Cambridge University Press
1991
pokkari
Technology’s contribution to economic growth and competitiveness has been the subject of vigorous debate in recent years. This book demonstrates the importance of a historical perspective in understanding the role of technological innovation in the economy. The authors examine key episodes and institutions in the development of the U.S. research system and in the development of the research systems of other industrial economies. They argue that the large potential contributions of economics to the understanding of technology and economic growth have been constrained by the narrow theoretical framework employed within neoclassical economies. A richer framework, they believe, will support a more fruitful dialogue among economists, policymakers, and managers on the organization of public and private institutions for innovation. David Mowery is Associate Professor of Business and Public Policy at the School of Business Administration, University of California, Berkeley. Nathan S. Rosenberg is Fairleigh Dickinson Professor of Economics at Stanford University. He is the author of Inside the Black Box: Technology and Economics (CUP, 1983).

Paths of Innovation

Paths of Innovation

David C. Mowery; Nathan Rosenberg

Cambridge University Press
1999
pokkari
In 1903 the Wright brothers’ airplane travelled a couple of hundred yards. Today fleets of streamlined jets transport millions of people each day to cities worldwide. Between discovery and application, between invention and widespread use, there is a world of innovation, of tinkering, improvement and adaptation. This is the world David Mowery and Nathan Rosenberg map out in Paths of Innovation, a tour of the intersecting routes of technological change. Throughout their book, Mowery and Rosenberg demonstrate that the simultaneous emergence of new engineering and applied science disciplines in the universities, in tandem with growth in the Research and Development industry and scientific research, has been a primary factor in the rapid rate of technological change. Innovation and incentives to develop new, viable processes have led to the creation of new economic resources - which will determine the future of technological innovation and economic growth.

How did the West,Europe, Canada, and the United States,escape from immemorial poverty into sustained economic growth and material well-being when other societies remained trapped in an endless cycle of birth, hunger, hardship, and death? In this elegant synthesis of economic history, two scholars argue that it is the political pluralism and the flexibility of the West's institutions,not corporate organization and mass production technology,that explain its unparalleled wealth.

"Beslutet att sälja den befintliga synagogan i Gamla stan fattades redan på 1860-talet. Istället skulle man låta uppföra en ny och ståtlig gudstjänstlokal i stadens nya centrum. Detta blir upptakten till ett helt nytt kapitel i svenskjudisk historia. Den nya synagogan skulle ligga inom broarna eller "strax i början av Malmarna", på en fri plats och inte emellan boningshus. Den skulle ligga i en "fridfull trakt" och inte vid ett handelstorg eller nära bullersam trafik och vara stor nog att rymma en byggnad i väst-östlig längdriktning - allt i enighet med den judiska religionens krav. Detta delikata uppdrag leddes av "Hasselbackskungen" Wilhelm Davidson, David Hirsch och Edvard Josephson. De hade fått vetskap om den "Wahrendorffska tomten", som låg mellan Kungsträdgården och nyanlagda Berzelii park, mitt emot splitternya Berns salonger, som Wilhelm Davidsons bror, konditorn August Davidson låtit uppföra. Församlingen tvekade. Nämnda tomt låg ju så långt borta från stadens centrum! Men Wilhelm Davidson och David Hirsch led inte av beslutsångest. Här gällde det att handla snabbt och beslutsamt innan priset for upp i höjden. Sagt och gjort - på eget bevåg köpte Davidson och Hirsch den Wahrendorffska tomten. Först därefter erbjöds församlingen att utan vinning köpa ut dem. Och så blev det!"
