Free Download Emotional Drivers of Innovation: Exploring the Moral Economy of Prototypes
English | 2024 | ISBN: 383767147X | 206 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB
Innovation is ubiquitous and has become a universal term that is indispensable to describe interventions, projects, or products. The contributors to this volume argue that emotions influence innovations as they are inherent in initial ideas, expectations and habitual evaluation criteria that impact the development process. Instead of assuming that the innovation process is subject to rational and linear creativity, the study adopts the notion of `moral economies’ by Lorraine Daston as a space for negotiation. Such an approach enables decision-makers to question the evaluation criteria and patterns for technological developments before implementing them in society.

Free Download Eco-cities: Scenarios for Innovation and Sustainability
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3319147013 | 464 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 77 MB
This book explores the question of how urban sustainability can be achieved despite a lack of knowledge integration between different fields. This book starts from the premise that the battle for sustainability will be won or lost in cities and proposes a critical, up-to-date review of transdisciplinary knowledge management tools – notably, scenario methods for informed decision-making. Drawing from literature and pioneering experience in innovation clusters (university-industry-government) during the last decade, it provides a review of recent eco-city concepts and knowledge management tools for effective decision-making in the transition to urban sustainability. Using method outlines, case studies, and graphical representations, it is intended to serve as a toolbox for those interested in urban transformation towards sustainability.
