Path dependence and creation: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Path dependence and creation" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The editors, aware of the recent work in evolutionary theory and the science of chaos and complexity, challenge the sometimes deterministic flavor of this subject. They are interested in uncovering the place of agency in these theories that take history so seriously. In the end, they are as interested in path creation and destruction as they are in path dependence. This book is compiled of both theoretical and empirical writings. It shows relatively well-known industries, such as the automobile, biotechnology, and semi-conductor industries in a new light. It also invites the reader to learn more about medical practices, wind power, lasers, and synthesizers. Primarily written for academicians, researchers, and Ph.D. students in fields related to technology management, this book is research-oriented and will appeal to all managers.

Imprinting, QWERTYnomics, increasing returns, vicious circles, virtuous cycles, and path dependencethe field is captivated by the role of history and experience as they inform contemporary action. Appreciative of these insights, yet mindful of the power of human agency, Raghu Garud and Peter Karne have made a wonderful contribution to our understanding of technological innovation and change. Well aware of the recent work in evolutionary theory and the science of chaos and complexity, they challenge the sometimes deterministic flavor of much of this work. They are interested in uncovering the place of agency in these theories that take history so seriously. In the end, they are as interested in path creation and destruction as they are in path dependence.
