Jacoby (1985) reports that, between 1880 and 1920, the number of engineers grew from about 7,000 to 135,000 in the USA. The engineers brought with them a scientific mindset and a certain curiosity for social improvements and new forms of arrangement of manufacturing activities. W. Taylor would dub “scientific management”, the engineering expertise was focused on standardizing and restructuring manufacturing functions. This specialized group of engineers were the carriers of the credo of standardization and the driving force behind the “efficiency craze” in the period after 1910.
Jacoby (1985) argues that, prior to the engineering revolution – a concept that might sound grandiloquent but still is adequate – foremen reigned in the factory shops and could treat the workmen very much as they wanted. As a consequence, the foreman was one of the most hated and despised figures of the early years of the industrialized society. Taylor and his scientific-management principles gradually undermined the position of the foreman who, in the scientific-management regime, was downgraded to leading manual work in the factory shop while decision-making authority was given to the engineers and located in specialized departments.
Other researchers reject the dominant image of the innovation process as a voluntaristic, purposeful and consciously managed process and conceive of innovation work as a distributed, haphazard and non-linear event. For instance, the sociological view of innovation advocated by Akrich et al. (2002a: 191) stresses the heterogeneity of innovation: An innovation in the making reveals a multiplicity of heterogeneous and often confused decisions made by a large number of different and often conflicting groups, decisions which one is unable to decide a priori as to whether they will be crucial or not.
