Ulrich Beck & Bruno Latour

Ulrich Beck talks about the place of science in a risk society. You’ll also hear from another equally influential European thinker, Bruno Latour, the author of "We

Have Never Been Modern." He will argue that our very future depends on overcoming a false dichotomy between nature and culture.

Ian Hacking & Andrew Pickering

Philosophers of science tended, until quite recently, to treat science as a mainly theoretical activity. Experiment - science’s actual, often messy encounter with

the world - was viewed as something secondary, a mere hand-servant to theory. In this episode we hear from two of the scholars who’ve been influential in advancing this changed view: first Ian Hacking, Canada’s pre-eminent

philosopher of science, and later in the hour Andrew Pickering, author of The Mangle of Practice.

Simon Schaffer

How to Think About Science begins with a conversation with Simon Schaffer, co-author of Leviathan and the Air Pump, subtitled Hobbes, Boyle and the

Experimental Life. A book that changed the way people thought about the history of science.

Brian Wynne

Science and technology lie almost completely outside the realm of political decision. Our civilization, consequently, is caught in a profound paradox: we glorify freedom and choice, but submit to the transformation of our culture by

technoscience as a virtual fate. Our guest is Brian Wynne of the University of Lancaster. He’s the associate director of an institute that studies the social and

economic aspects of genetic technologies.

Module 4:

Organising and managing knowledge Module tutor: Stian Nygaard

This aim of this module is organised to provide the student with an introduction to the key

issues of how firms organise and manage knowledge and innovation. Central issues are:

- Knowledge and Industry dynamics

- Models of innovation

- How innovation affect the knowledge base of firms

- The role of standards, dominant designs and network externalities for firms

- Knowledge based theories of the firm

- Knowledge acquisition in organisations

During this module the students will be introduced to topics such as forms of knowledge,

knowledge based theories of the firm, and the dynamic capabilities perspective. The students

will be introduced to the topic on how firms and other organisations acquire knowledge and

different strategies for knowledge search in firms. We will also go into the open innovation

paradigm and see how innovation is organised in networks. Finally, we will discuss user

driven theory and the role of lead users as a source of knowledge in the innovation process.
