Abstract
Technological progress both induces and is induced by pervasive social change. It represents not only a transformation in the material, structural, and cultural conditions of a society but is made possible by such transformed conditions. Thus the passage to an industrial society in the modern era required not only the widespread diffusion of new technologies but also the arrival of new models of knowledge, new normative orientations and new patterns of economic and institutional investment (Lakshmanan, 1993b). While the key roles of the entrepreneur and knowledge producer in such transformations are widely conceded, the part played by the state is a subject of much controversy.
