Innovation and Communication in the Context of Globalization

Abstract

Communication practices in relation to innovation in the globalization process are becoming a constantly renewed challenge both at the level of scientific research and at the level of the professional world. This challenge gives rise to questions and issues relating to a new configuration of power and communication relations, a recomposition of social relations, a complex conception of cultural influences, technological, communicational, informational changes, etc. This issue of the ESSACHESS journal aims to provide an international perspective on the research results and theoretical or empirical problems related to the communication-innovation-globalization triad by proposing exploratory perspectives, in particular on the paradoxes and ambiguities likely to be overcome by the revision of fundamental concepts and methods or by innovative mediations resulting from interdisciplinary confluences.
