Three schools of transformation thinking: The impact of ideas, institutions, and technological innovation on transformation processes

Research output: Journal contributionsScientific review articlesResearch

Authors

To identify the main drivers of transformation , it is helpful to identify the transformation perspectives of three specific schools of thought: idealist, institutional, and technological innovation. By differentiating among these schools of thought, a more informed transformation debate becomes possible, thereby increasing transformative literacy in academia and society.
