Amid mounting concern over the loss of jobs to low-wage economies, one fact is clear: America’s prosperity hinges on the ability of its businesses to continually introduce new products and services. But what makes for a creative economy? How can the remarkable surge of innovation that fueled the boom of the 1990s be sustained? For an answer, Richard K. Lester and Michael J. Piore examine innovation strategies in some of the economy’s most dynamic sectors. Through eye-opening case studies of new product development in fields such as cell phones, medical devices, and blue jea

Essays in this volume analyze the fundamental macroeconomic and political structures of contemporary society. Studies by Piore examine the labor market and its relationship to technological innovation and capital investment; studies by Berger explore the social foundation of political parties and the formation of state policy as it emerges from competitive political forces.

This work provides the first comprehensive introduction to the nonlinear theory of generalized functions (in the sense of Colombeau’s construction) on differentiable manifolds. Particular emphasis is laid on a diffeomorphism invariant geometric approach to embedding the space of Schwartz distributions into algebras of generalized functions. The foundations of a `nonlinear distributional geometry’ are developed, supplying a solid base for an increasing number of applications of algebras of generalized functions to questions of a primarily geometric mature, in particular in m

Questions regarding the interplay of nonlinearity and the creation and propagation of singularities arise in a variety of fields-including nonlinear partial differential equations, noise-driven stochastic partial differential equations, general relativity, and geometry with singularities. A workshop held at the Erwin-Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematical Physics in Vienna investigated these questions and culminated in this volume of invited papers from experts in the fields of nonlinear partial differential equations, structure theory of generalized functions, geometry and gene
