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