How knowledge is created, and how new products and working practices come about, has long interested socio-economists. The authors place the answer in communities of practice: groups bound by a shared enterprise, and the networks around them.
The everyday interaction people have in their working and professional lives, the book argues, is what produces creativity, learning and knowing. Readers interested in innovation in firms and regions will find the argument aimed at them.
