Abstract
This paper investigates the development of breakthrough technological innovations by analysing the individual, organisational, and contextual forces and dynamics shaping their emergence. To this end, I use a longitudinal case study of Fiat Group's development of common rail technology for diesel injection systems. Thereby, by presenting and discussing its story and evolution, I contribute to the existing literature on innovation offering a multilevel perspective of the diverse and heterogeneous factors interaction to generate breakthroughs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
