Abstract
The history of modern industry has often been written in terms of technological change. This paper describes a more complex, co-evolutionary model of techno-organizational change: an iterative process in which changes in technology and changes in organization are each spurred by the other, each foreclosing some possibilities to the other, while opening different possibilities.
