Description
Societal functions such as transport, communication, housing, and energy supply, explains Geels (technology management, Eindhoven U. of Technology, the Netherlands), are fulfilled by socio-technical systems consisting of technology, markets and user practices, public policies and regulations, infrastructure, symbolic meaning, and scientific understanding. He explores the process of change from one socio- technical system to another. Because technology is a crucial element in such systems, he starts there, but then moves into how social and technical aspects are intertwined and influence each other during technological transitions and system innovation. The study is adapted from his Ph.D. dissertation, for which he cites no date or institution. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
