Opis: Social Innovations Institutional Change and Economic - T Hamalainen

'A much needed examination of a neglected issue - how societies, regions and institutions adjust to our rapidly changing economic world.' - W. Brian Arthur, Santa Fe Institute, New Mexico 'This is a marvellously rich work of synthesis, bringing together a very wide range of theoretical perspectives to make sense of contemporary patterns of economic and social change. Its range of reference is remarkable - and it is further proof that much of the most interesting theoretical and empirical work today is being done on the boundaries of disciplines.' - Geoff Mulgan, Director, The Young Foundation, Founder, Demos and formerly Head of Policy, Prime Minister's Office, UK 'A very relevant and insightful perspective on institutional change and economic renewal in regions, countries and corporations.' - Yves L.
