Abstract

A general conclusion of this book is that existing relations between technology and institution to a large extent determine the theories that are developed in order to describe and understand them. Consequentially, key features identified as necessary to adjust in order to influence and even change the dynamics of institutions and technologies are specific to a certain context set in time and place. Thus there seems to be an ever more positive feedback loop between existing relations, the study of relations, the forming of relations and back to the existing relations again. It is this observation together with today’s heterogeneous relations between technology, institution and change that give a review of the present multitude of theories beyond innovation its greatest value.
