This study proposes the theory of technological parasitism that may be useful for bringing a new perspective to explain and generalize the evolution of technology directed to sustain competitive advantage of firms and nations. Technological parasitism explains the relationship of mutualistic...

Nowadays technology has to support the competitive advantage of countries and at the same time sustainable economic growth patterns. This paper measures the Net Social Utility of Innovations, by a new technometric approach, which provides the sustainable economic impact of innovations on...

A vast literature exists on disruptive technologies; however, some fundamental questions are unknown, such as: how is the speed of disruptive technologies in competitive markets? How is the pathway of technological cycle of disruptive technologies? The study confronts these questions here by...

A vast literature exists on disruptive technologies. However, some fundamental questions are unknown, such as: how to measure the growth of disruptive technologies in competitive markets? How is the pathway of technological cycle of disruptive innovations? The study confronts these questions...

The fundamental problem in the field of technology studies is how technology evolves and sustains economic change in human society. This study confronts the problem here by proposing the theory of technological host-parasites coevolution, an approach that may be useful for bringing a new...

This study here categorizes innovations considering the taxonomic characteristics of interaction between technologies in complex systems. The proposed classification, in a broad analogy with the ecology, includes four categories of technology considering the typology of their interaction: 1)...

The evolution of quantum technologies can play a main role for next technological change having main implications for industrial and corporate change. The goal of this study is to develop a technology analysis for examining and forecasting the evolutionary phases of some critical quantum...

A fundamental problem in the field of management of technology is how firms develop and sustain disruptive technologies for competitive advantage in markets. The vast literature has analyzed several characteristics of disruptive innovations. However, the determinants are hardly known. The study...
