The role of communications in technological innovation

Abstract Technological innovation can be represented as a complex net of communication paths linking the various stages of the innovation process. This paper briefly reviews some of the more significant empirical works which have related innovative success to good communications, describes the sources of ideas leading to, and utilised during, innovation, considers the patterns of information flow found to occur during innovation and discusses the role of individuals in technology transfer.
