Industry and Innovation |
In 1993, three scholars founded the Journal of Industry Studies, published by the IR Research centre at the University of NSW, Sydney. The three scholars were myself; Dr Linda Weiss of the Department of Government, University of Sydney; and Dr Patrizia Tiberi, of the Faculty of Economics and Banking Sciences at the University of Udine, Italy (and then a visiting scholar at the University of Sydney). The journal was founded to promote informed discussion of industry issues, drawing on the widest possible theoretical frames of reference, and wide empirical sources for study. The journal was supported in its initial years by foundation grants from Telecom Australia and from the National Australia Bank.
The journal was self-published through the UNSW research centre for the first years, appearing twice a year, and translating interesting articles from Italy and Europe more generally, and from the Asia-pacific, into English, as well as publishing original articles from scholars around the world. In 1997 the journal was acquired by the British journals publisher, Carfax Publishing Company, and its name was changed to Industry and Innovation. Dr Linda Weiss and Dr John Mathews carried forward as editors, joined for a brief period by Dr Wyn Grant, of the University of Warwick. The new journal was numbered consecutively with the old, and the first issue of Industry and Innovation appeared in June 1997, numbered Vol. 4, No. 1. Since then the publish has changed to Routledge, and then to Taylor and Francis, following mergers by the publishers involved –but the same Carfax team has been involved throughout.
In 2005, editorial responsibility for the journal was passed to a group at Copenhagen business school. The Editorials published at the time are here: I&I 11 4 2004 JM Farewell editorial and I&I Editorial 2005
* Schumpeter’s “lost”
seventh chapter (Vol. 9, Nos. 1/2, April 2002)
This carried the first English translation of the seventh chapter of Joseph A. Schumpeter’s 1912 masterpiece, The Theory of Economic Development. The chapter, “The economy as a whole” was published by Schumpeter in the first edition, but dropped from the subsequent German editions; it never appeared in the English translation, published in 1934. The first full English translation is here: I&I Schumpeter's lost 7th chapter. An introduction to the special issue can be found here: Introduction
