Why join?

This online mailing-list is to encourage a dialogue among the wider community of scholars interested in innovation and competition. There are major advantages in bringing together different scholars each having distinctive characteristics and particular areasrength

Academic studies aimed at understanding the evolution of science and technology and its relation to innovation and organisational change have advanced dramatically and become the subject of renewed attention over the past two decades in particular. New approaches and great contributions have come especially from experts outside mainstream perspectives. Their ideas have been integrated with the branch of social science broadly known as 'evolutionary economics' which has paid greater attention to the technology when addressing issues on (and related to) 'innovation and competition'. However, presently research and analysis within evolutionary economics remains exploratory and is heading in many directions.

It is in this light this mailing-list is established. It is meant to function as an active multidisciplinary platform in space where economists, sociologists, business-scholars, institutionalists, historians, geographers and others more creatively, effectively and collectively can interact and set the future agenda for the rate and direction of research on (and related to) innovation and competition within an evolutionary framework. The mailing list is hosted by the 'ESRC Centre for Research on Innovation and Competition' (CRIC) in Manchester (UK). By visiting our web site: http://www.cric.ac.uk you will be able to find more information about our research centre as well as the innovation-competition mailing list. The mailing list has been established since January 1998. [List-owner: Ishtiaq Hussain.]
