About this title

Synopsis

Nineteen chapters detail the role of knowledge in technical innovation at the individual, organizational, national, and international levels of the large commercial aircraft (LCA) aerospace community, how U.S. public policy shapes the external environment of that community, and the influence of the community's actors on technological practice. Scholars from disciplines such as business and strategic management, communications, economics, international political economy, library and information science, organizational science and learning theory, political science, public policy, and sociology treat topics such as: the growth of LCA manufacturing, U.S. research and development funding, engineers' information production and use behaviors, the relationship between technical uncertainty and information use, the use of computer networks, and a number of chapters on the structural behavior of engineers' communication and information use.
