Change and Industrial Society by Dr Donald Schon followed by questions from an invited audience
4: How Innovation Spreads
Dr Schon argues that the ways by which new ideas are spread in a society are worth paying attention to: the systems of diffusion, he says. change over time - have an evolution, and this evolution is critical to how our society works.
Management of our society depends on our ability to spread things in it. enabling novelty to arise and then disperse throughout the rest of society. (This lecture, recorded at the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers in London, will be published in The Listener dated 10 Dec. Next Sunday: Government as a Learning System)
