Full Description
This volume contains a selection of papers on new technologies, networks and governance structures presented at the Rothenberge Seminar 2007, a joint venture of the School of Management and Governance of the University of Twente, the Institute of Public Economics of the Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat Munster and the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Groningen. Each paper explores a specific aspect of newly emerging technologies. The contributions range from a discussion of new conceptualizations of procuring knowledge to problems generated by targeted governmental policies including weapons production, strategies in adopting new technologies, regulation in environmental issues, the origin of rail transport in the Prussian Rhine Province, and a discussion of the work of the American-Canadian urban theorist Jane Jacobs.
