This paper locates the notion of technological revolutions in the Neo-Schumpeterian effort to
understand innovation and to identify the regularities, continuities and discontinuities in the process of
innovation. It looks at the micro- and meso-foundations of the patterns observed in the evolution of
technical change and the interrelations with the context that shape the rhythm and direction of innovation.
On this basis, it defines technological revolutions, examines their structure and the role that they play in
rejuvenating the whole economy through the application of the accompanying techno-economic paradigm.
This over-arching meta-paradigm or shared best practice 'common sense' is in turn defined and analysed
in its components and its impact, including the influence it exercises on institutional and social change.

An Avalanche is Coming sets out vividly the challenges ahead for higher
education, not just in the US or UK but around the world. Just as we've
seen the forces of technology and globalisation transform sectors such as media and communications or banking and finance over the last two decades, these forces may now transform higher education. The solid
classical buildings of great universities may look permanent but the
storms of change now threaten them.
Interesting learning strategy. Could be used in a variety of class situations or workshops as "Center Based Learning"
Remember back in public school when you used "Learning Centers?" The technique is useful when you need to get across a lot of information quickly.
