本文在农业推广传统的基础上，讨论了传播与创新关系的几种思维变化。从网络建设，社会学习和冲突管理的关键过程，通信专业人士的支持的想法开始，文章提出了重要的意见，参与性实践，创新政策和研究和推广的私有化的主导形式。随后，本文讨论了所提出的思维模式对科学家在创新过程中的作用的影响。有人认为，科学家的一个关键作用是阐明隐含的假设，索赔和社会学习过程中的知识差距，并从事与社会利益相关者的一套连贯的自然和社会科学问题的合作研究。所提出的概念模型和意见，最终导致制定一个研究议程的传播和创新研究领域。
Building on the tradition of agricultural extension, this article discusses several changes in thinking regarding the relations between communication and innovation. Starting from the idea that network building, social learning and conflict management are key processes to be supported by communication professionals, the article makes critical observations regarding dominant forms of participatory practice, innovation policy and privatisation of research and extension. Subsequently, the paper discusses the implications of the proposed modes of thinking for the role of scientists in innovation processes. It is argued that a key role of scientists is to explicate implicit assumptions, claims and knowledge gaps in social learning processes, and to engage in collaborative research with societal stakeholders on a coherent set of natural and social science questions. The proposed conceptual models and observations eventually lead to the formulation of a research agenda for the field of Communication and Innovation Studies.
