Discontinuity and After: the Social Dynamics of Technology Evolution and Dominance
探讨社会学研究如何帮助理解技术演化与主导地位，重点引入行动者网络理论，为技术管理研究与实践提供新见解。
While there has been much discussion of the social dynamics of technology evolution within the technology management literature, this has made relatively little use of work done by sociologists on similar issues. In this article, the potential of sociological research to inform our understanding of technology evolution and dominance is explored, focusing in particular on the contribution of actor network theory. The bringing together of questions posed by technology management theorists and insights offered by social theorists provides new insights on technology evolution, and generates several important implications for both research and practice.
