Technological dynamics and national innovation system: A quantitative focus of a neoschumpeterian approach

Abstract

This paper aims at analyzing the dynamic technological transition of a Naional Innovation System (subsequently abbreviated as NIS) through a theoretical model of complex system, presented in a non-linear difference equation. This paper shall also specify the way through which a hypothetical technological paradigm may be explored and the forces that shape the economical, social and institutional spheres.Putting together the results presented by the analysis of the complexity with the characteristics proposed by the evolutionist theory related to technologic dynamics inside the NIS, it is possible to systemize in a better way the results of the variation in the time of the economical changes presented. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
