Comment les sociétés s’approprient-elles les technologies, c’est-à-dire incorporent-elles dans leurs pratiques mais aussi dans leurs représentations des objets matériels ou immatériels « inédits » ? Et tout d’abord, quels rôles jouent respectivement l’offre (la production d’inventions) et la demande (l’évolution de la société) dans l’apparition et la diffusion de ces technologies ? Comment situer dans cette dynamique le rôle parfois méconnu des « entrepreneurs » ? Peut-on identifier des « déterminants » de cette appropriation, c’est-à-dire des caractéristiques de l’objet, de son mode d’élaboration ou des aspects socioculturels des sociétés qui vont favoriser ou freiner cette appropriation ? Faut-il privilégier des innovations « clés en main » ou au contraire prendre en compte la demande d’objets « ouverts » et adaptables ? Quelles sont les conséquences de cette appropriation sur la société ? Sont-elles anodines ou modifient-elles en profondeur les représentations de nous-mêmes, de nos relations aux autres, de notre environnement ? Enfin, comment répondre aujourd’hui à la demande à la fois forte, légitime et difficile à satisfaire d’une évaluation a priori des nouvelles technologies et d’identification des effets positifs ou négatifs de leur diffusion ? Faut-il compléter ces évaluations a priori par des dispositifs d’accompagnement et d’observation de ces processus d’appropriation et de leurs conséquences ? Ce sont ces différentes questions que ce rapport de l’Académie des technologies se propose d’éclairer.

At a time when the limits on human progress are ever-decreasing and the consequences of human actions have never been so critical to predict and manage, the responsible nature of innovations has acquired a whole new importance. Firms now need to find the appropriate balance between achieving positive growth and performance while integrating the concept of responsible innovation at the very core of innovation strategies and processes. Based on extensive academic research and illustrated by multiple case studies and examples, this book will help understand the challenges and issues of responsibl

Policy Diffusion Dynamics in America integrates research from agenda setting and epidemiology to model factors that shape the speed and scope of public policy diffusion. Drawing on a data set of more than 130 policy innovations, the research demonstrates that the 'laboratories of democracy' metaphor for incremental policy evaluation and emulation is insufficient to capture the dynamic process of policy diffusion in America. A significant subset of innovations trigger outbreaks - the extremely rapid adoption of innovation across states. The book demonstrates how variation in the characteristics of policies, the political and institutional traits of states, and differences among interest group carriers interact to produce distinct patterns of policy diffusion.

You can create the next breakthrough innovation. A revolution is under way. But it's not about tearing down the old guard. It's about building, it's about creating, it's about breathing life into groundbreaking new ideas. It's called the Maker Movement, and it's changing the world. Mark Hatch has been at the forefront of the Maker Movement since it began. A cofounder of TechShop - the first, largest, and most popular maker space - Hatch has seen it all. Average people pay a small fee for access to advanced tools - everything from laser cutters and milling machines to 3D printers and AutoCAD software. All they have to bring is their creativity and some positive energy. Prototypes of new products that would have cost $100,000 in the past have been made in his shop for $1,000. The Maker Movement is where all the next great inventions and innovations are happening - and you can play a part in it. The Maker Movement Manifesto takes you deep into the movement. Hatch describes the remarkable technologies and tools now accessible to you and shares stories of how ordinary people have devised extraordinary products, giving rise to successful new business ventures. He explains how economic upheavals are paving the way for individuals to create, innovate, make a fortune - and even drive positive societal change - with nothing more than their own creativity and some hard work. It's all occurring right now, all around the world - and possibly in your own neighborhood. The creative spirit lives inside every human being. We are all makers. Whether you're a banker, lawyer, teacher, tradesman, or politician, you can play an important role in the Maker society. So fire up your imagination, read The Maker Movement Manifesto - and start creating! Praise for The Maker Movement Manifesto: It's the same revolutionary innovation model, but now applied to one of the biggest industries in the world-manufacturing. (Chris Anderson, CEO, 3D Robotics, and former Editor-in-Chief, Wired). He (Henry Ford) probably would have started in TechShop. (Bill Ford, Executive Chairman, Ford Motor Company, and great-grandson of Henry Ford). We are heading into a new age of manufacturing...Hatch has a front-row seat and has written the must-follow guide to democratize this new age. This is the book I wish every American would use. It contains the keys to the future of work and joy for everyone. (Robert Scoble, Startup Liaison Officer, Rackspace). TechShop is the garage that Thomas Edison wished he had, and thanks to Mark Hatch, it's open it to the public. This book is a lifeline to a country with a skills gap that threatens to swallow us all. For aspiring inventors and entrepreneurs, The Maker Movement Manifesto is a 'celebration in the making' - even if the only thing you make is a mess. (Mike Rowe, Dirty Jobs). Mark's book is pitch-perfect on why the Maker Movement is so important for our collective future. (Beth Comstock, CMO and SVP, GE).Bron : http://www.bol.com

Material Encounters and Indigenous Transformations in the Early Colonial Americas brings together 15 case studies focusing on the early colonial history and archaeology of indigenous cultural persistence and change in the Caribbean and its surrounding mainland(s) after AD 1492. With a special emphasis on material culture and by foregrounding indigenous agency in shaping the diverse outcomes of colonial encounters, this volume offers new perspectives on early modern cultural interactions in the first regions of the ‘New World’ that were impacted by European colonization. The volume contributors specifically investigate how foreign goods were differentially employed, adopted, and valued across time, space, and scale, and what implications such material encounters had for indigenous social, political, and economic structures. Contributors are: Andrzej T. Antczak, Ma. M. Antczak, Oliver Antczak, Jaime J. Awe, Martijn van den Bel, Mary Jane Berman, Arie Boomert, Jeb J. Card, Charles R. Cobb, Gérard Collomb, Shannon Dugan Iverson, Marlieke Ernst, William R. Fowler, Perry L. Gnivecki, Christophe Helmke, Shea Henry, Gilda Hernández Sánchez, Corinne L. Hofman, Menno L.P.

In this work, the authors investigate the phenomenon of 'open innovation', in which firms draw on research and development outside their boundaries. It links the practice of innovation to the established body of innovation research, showing what's new and what's familiar in the process.

Open Innovation is a phenomenon in both research and management practice. Since radical innovation or new business development often require external technologies or ways of commercialization, many firms have shifted from a Closed to an Open Innovation model. However, firms often face difficulties during the implementation. While the implementation effort usually focuses on external ideas and technologies as well as the processes to identify them, cultural challenges are neglected. Philipp Herzog develops a theoretical framework arguing that Open Innovation and Closed Innovation cultures need to be different (e.g. regarding the not-invented-here (NIH) syndrome). Based on a multi-respondent survey among 120 R&D employees from three business units of a leading chemical firm, he provides empirical evidence for many of the hypothesized differences in innovation culture. The findings may also help firms cope with the challenges experienced in implementing the Open Innovation concept.
