Memetics and Evolutionary Economics
This book explores the question of whether and how meme theory or “memetics” can be fruitfully utilized in evolutionary economics and proposes an approach known as “economemetics” which is a combination of meme theory and complexity theory that has the potential to combat the fragmentation of evolutionary economics while re-connecting the field with cultural evolutionary theory. By studying the intersection of cultural and economic evolution, complexity economics, computational economics, and network science, the authors establish a connection between memetics and evolutionary economics at different levels of investigation. The book first demonstrates how a memetic approach to econom...

Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics
While dating from post-Classical economists such as Thorstein Veblen and Joseph Schumpeter, the inception of the modern field of evolutionary economics is usually dated to the early 1980s. Broadly speaking, evolutionary economics sees the economy as undergoing continual, evolutionary change. Evolutionary change indicates that these changes were not planned, but rather were the result of innovations and selection processes. These often involved winners and losers, but most importantly, they resulted in actors learning what was and was not working. Evolutionary economics, in contrast to mainstream economics, emphasises the relevance of variables such as technology, institutions, decision rules...
The Handbook of Climate Change Leadership in Organisations
Climate change is one of the most significant and challenging problems we face today, and many organisations have recognised their responsibility in reducing emissions and environmental degradation and regenerating biodiversity. However, conventional leadership has failed to respond adequately to the magnitude of the threat, and a profound change in corporate leadership is required to substantively cut emissions and change climate policy to minimise further destructive environmental impact. This book sets out the qualities and approaches needed by leaders to successfully develop and implement climate change mitigation and adaptation policies. Bringing together the foremost experts in climate...
Design Innovation for Health and Medicine
Design Innovation for Health and Medicine offers an innovative approach for solving complex healthcare issues. In this book, three design experts examine a range of case studies to explain how design is used in health and medicine—exploring issues such as diverse patient needs, an ageing population and the impact of globalisation on disease. These case studies, along with high-profile industry projects conducted by the authors over the past decade, inform a novel framework for designing and implementing innovative solutions in this context. The book aims to assist designers, medical engineers, clinicians and researchers to shape the next era of healthcare.
Open Innovation Dynamics
This book expands the concept of open innovation from a static strategic idea to a dynamic principle. It details various, underexplored aspects of this concept, including the culture for necessary open innovation dynamics, the difference between James Watt and Steve Jobs, and collective intelligence as a new category of open innovation. It specifically considers open innovation within the context of micro- and macro-dynamics of economics.
Complexity in Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Technology Research
This volume discusses the challenge of dealing with complexity in entrepreneurship, innovation and technology research. Businesses as well as entire economies are increasingly being confronted by widespread complex systems. Fields such as entrepreneurship and innovation cannot ignore this reality, especially with their inherent links to diverse research fields and interdisciplinary methods. However, most methods that allow more detailed analyses of complex problems are either neglected in mainstream research or are, at best, still emerging. Against this backdrop, this book provides a forum for the discussion of emergent and neglected methods in the context of complexity in entrepreneurship, innovation and technology research, and also acts as an inspiration for academics across related disciplines to engage more in complexity research.
Handbook of Innovation and Regulation
This comprehensive Handbook presents thoughtful analysis on how regulations can impact innovation within a number of regulatory fields and markets, and provides a greater understanding of regulatory complexity and the challenging task it presents for future research.
Bioökonomie nachhaltig gestalten
In diesem Sammelband werden die Herausforderungen und Potenziale einer zukünftig nachhaltig zu gestaltenden Bioökonomie interdisziplinär beleuchtet. Hierbei wird die Bioökonomie als sozio-technisches System aufgefasst, in dem die technische Ausgestaltung aufs Engste mit sozialen, ökonomischen und politischen Elementen verknüpft ist. Aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven wird die Transformation des herkömmlichen Wirtschaftens in Richtung einer bioökonomischen Wirtschaftsweise thematisiert. Aspekte von Umbau bzw. Transformation und Zukunftsgestaltung stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt.
Online Virality
The book Online Virality, edited by Valérie Schafer and Fred Pailler (C2DH, University of Luxembourg), aims to provide a comprehensive examination of online virality. It explores the many ways we can think about this modern phenomenon and analyse the circulation, reception, and evolution of viral born-digital content. Virality and content sharing always intertwine material, infrastructural, visual and discursive elements. This involves various platforms, stakeholders, intermediaries, social groups and communities that are constantly (re)defining themselves. Regulation, curation and content moderation politics, as well as affects and emotions (fears, humour, empathy, hatred...), are also at ...
