    Book SynopsisThis book develops an integrated perspective on the practices and politics of making knowledge work in inclusive development and innovation. While debates about development and innovation commonly appeal to the authority of academic researchers, many current approaches emphasise the plurality of actors with relevant expertise for addressing livelihood challenges. Adopting an action-oriented and reflexive approach, this volume explores the variety of ways in which knowledge works, paying particular attention to dilemmas and controversies. The six parts of the book address the complex interplay of knowledge and politics, starting with the need for knowledge integration in the first part and decolonial perspectives on the politics of knowledge integration in the second part. The following three parts focus on the practices of inclusive development and innovation through three major themes of learning for transformative change, evidence, and digitisation. The final part ofTrade Review"Development pathways are plural and political, as is the knowledge that shapes and contributes to them. Not shirking from the real difficulties and conundra of including diverse perspectives amidst complex dynamics, and deftly weaving theory and practice through a host of real-world examples, this volume helps chart the way. A thoughtful and robust contribution to the burgeoning literature on knowledge in/for development that contests some of its most treasured assumptions." - Melissa Leach, Director of the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) at the University of Sussex, UK"The view that development in the modern world is knowledge driven does not explain the disparities in development across continents, countries and communities. There is contestation around what form of knowledge is essential for inclusive development. Knowledge is not universal and neither are the processes of its generation and application neutral. This book inspires reconstruction of valid knowledge for and rethinking the concept of inclusive development." - Paul Kibwika, Associate Professor, Department of Extension and Innovation Studies, Makerere University, UgandaTable of ContentsIntroduction: Making knowledge work differently: The politics of knowledge in inclusive development and innovation, David Ludwig, Cees Leeuwis, Birgit K.

Filled with insight from managers and CEOs in science and technology organisations, the book unlocks the skills required to balance the leadership and managerial needs of the organisation, motivate the technical teams and drive successful innovation in new product development environments.
