Projectification of Science as an Organizational Innovation

A central question of innovation research is how innovation processes occur at the macro, meso, and micro levels (Hutter et al., this volume). In this contribution, we use figurational sociology to make sense of this dynamic interaction (Elias 1978, 2009) and illustrate the usefulness of figurational sociology for innovation research. We focus on one sphere of action (Baur 2008): science.
