The concept is expanded to include a socio-political dimension, whereby technological innovation within paradigms is influenced by factors not normally considered by economists. Susan Strange's ‘knowledge structure' is argued to be an appropriate location for the expanded concept of technological paradigms. They can then be viewed as building blocks within the overall knowledge structure, but only if the concept is adapted to include cultural and political elements. While agent/structure issues impinge upon the analysis, the merger of technological paradigm and knowledge structure is argued to be ontologically consistent. © Beech Tree Publishing 1995 Science and Public Policy Beech Tree Publishing 22/2(1995-04), 106-116 0302-3427 22:2<106 1995 22 spp https://doi.org/10.1093/spp/22.2.106 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/spp/22.2.106 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Russell Alan School of Social Sciences, Staffordshire University, College Road, Stoke-on-Trent, UK NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Science and Public Policy Beech Tree Publishing 22/2(1995-04), 106-116 0302-3427 22:2<106 1995 22 spp Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
