👉🏽 In the book, Rodrigo places us in the midst of questions dear to the current public and academic debate about some of the transformations of our time. When dealing with the networks of innovation constituted in the process of social production of electric cars, the author elaborates an argument that is positioned at the interface between different topics, highlighting: a) the novelties in the automotive market that emerged in the face of the ecological challenge; b) the problem of cooperation between economic actors in their different contexts; c) the spaces of construction by the actors of their social worlds vis-à-vis the strength of established economic and social institutions and preexisting power structures. The introduction of cars with electric propulsion implies the affirmation, in the face of inertial forces, of a novelty in the market with a view to responding to “tensions” raised by new environmental actors, by the impasses in urban mobility and by public health demands. The case is that the constitution of networks to innovate is not trivial in the face of inertial forces, but networks create, in part, institutionality in the innovation process. This reinforces the relevance of innovation networks in overcoming the established order. Live will be mediated by Professor Doctor Raphael Lima (UFF).
