DKE Part 4: Evolutionary Model of Innovation
  1. Two Degrees:
    1. Incremental
      1. Radical / Discontinuous: new industries created e.g. Tesla car, Electricity, Internet, Smartphones.
      2. Conventional Vs Informational
        1. Conventional
          1. Linear
            1. precise
              1. emphasis on:
                1. tangibles
                  1. manufacturing
                    1. knowledge creation
                    2. Inventions -> Innovation -> Diffusion
                    3. Informational
                      1. non-linear
                        1. non precise
                          1. info from many sources incl. R&D
                            1. emphasis on:
                              1. Intangibles
                                1. knowledge flow & creation
                                2. services innovation
                                  1. knowledge as input and output
                                    1. Technology as information
                                  2. Joseph Schumpeter
                                    1. critical of mainstream equilibrium theory
                                      1. capitalism as evolutionary process
                                        1. method of econ change
                                          1. can never be stationary; dynamic & growth oriented
                                          2. Prime Mover = The NEW goods, methods of production, markets, etc. i.e. New Technology & Innovation
                                            1. growth of knowledge processes
                                              1. Innovation occuring in Clusters, not in isolation.
                                                1. creative destruction where obsolete replaced by the innovative
                                                2. Growth: Technological Innovation NOT Price Competition
                                                  1. Schumpeterian Entrepreneur: driver of innovation, foundation of growth, development, change within capitalism (the central figure).
                                                    1. First person to Implement & Commercialise an innovation (not neccesarily the inventor)
                                                  2. Require both Openness & Stability for economic growth
                                                    1. optimal Resource allocation (Static Efficiency) will reduce dynamics over long term.
                                                      1. i.e. pursuit of static efficienc may lead to inflexibility.
                                                    2. Complexity Theory
                                                      1. econ = complex evolving system consisting of:
                                                        1. Economic Agents / elements
                                                          1. Connections between them
                                                          2. Systems View: Connections > Agents
                                                            1. ITC made connections even more prolific & important.
                                                            2. Complex Systems e.g.: brains, ecologies, weather, stock market, economies, electrical network
                                                              1. Instability arisees from Structural changes and Sensitive dependence on intial conditions.
