Abstract
How did innovation and technological change affect information flows and the degree of legitimacy afforded authorities such as industry associations?

The findings indicate first that changes in innovation affected information flows and the degree of legitimacy afforded authorities such as industry associations. Second, in response to changes spurred by technological innovation, the legitimacy of authority that was lost could be regained.
