This collection of papers examines the dependency of economic progress on developments in the invention and exploitation of new products and processes, arising from technological advances. Considering this question from a number of different viewpoints, the study progresses from a discussion of the forces affecting the process of technical change, to empirical studies of technical change in different industries and firms, and a consideration of their economic and social consequences.
