Technological changes are understood as part of a learning process. Even if a share of knowledge is built outside organizations, the adoption and diffusion of new technologies go through the ability of agents to absorb and retain information. Managerial ability to decode external information and...

Technological changes, when taken exogenously, would be represented by upward shifts in the production curve. The evolutionary approach of economic growth is an alternative to study technological change as endogenous and dynamic process, in which the accumulation of capital takes strategic role...

This paper traces the 11,000 year evolution of infrastructure systems during major periods of innovation, expansion and diffusion. Throughout history, the key role of the State is self-evident. Private sector involvement has waxed and waned over millennia, although at times it has been pivotal...

The paper presents the analysis of recent developments of Schumpeterian theory of entrepreneurship and innovation in light of evolutionary economics.

This paper addresses the problem of knowledge and the far-reaching implications it bears upon innovation and the functioning of economic systems. It develops a stylised analysis of the micro-dynamics of knowledge generation, exchange and absorption. It discusses the properties of knowledge...

The purpose of this paper is to provide a broad overview of the field of innovation studies. We focus on the the economics and sociology of innovation, which we can define as the study of the dynamic processes of generation, development, adoption ad diffusion of innovations in the economic and...
