While most scholarship on nineteenth-century technology transfer beyond Europe and North America has focused on the West-to-East movement of artifacts, skills, and knowledge, \u003ci\u003eStrands of Modernization\u003c\/i\u003e considers the transfer of technology and business methods within East Asia in the period between approximately 1850 and 1920.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighlighting currents moving in multiple directions, contributors expand upon conventional notions of what qualifies as a \"technology\" or a \"business practice,\" looking more broadly at skills, systems of technology, tacit knowledge, and the ideologies and other belief systems with which they interact. The core ambition driving \u003ci\u003eStrands of Modernization\u003c\/i\u003e is to illuminate processes of adaption, versus adoption, that occur when technology and business practices cross sociocultural boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919521661086,"sku":"ING-9781487509088","price":98.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487509088.jpg?v=1782813461","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487509088","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
