This phenomenon of converging innovation is likely to deepen and widen in the future due to intense competition in global markets. Asian manufacturing firms in particular lead the global industrial innovation. Convergent innovation exists as a constant disequilibrium between reference technology and matching technology; innovations of these technologies occur at different degrees to attain an optimal balance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInnovations as a result of convergence are often beneficial, improving welfare and employment. This book sheds light on the little-discussed idea of convergent innovation with examples hailing from Asia. The book also proposes new theories and investigates convergence at the micro level - guaranteed food for thought for academics interested in innovation economics and management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kong-Rae Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138317853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138317857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Kong-Rae Lee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447840518399,"sku":"9781138317857","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_727a9641-00c8-449a-a7d7-92837739d74f.jpg?v=1777235160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/managing-convergence-in-innovation-kong-rae-lee-9781138317857","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
