Innovation as an interactive process: From user-producer interaction to national systems of innovation
TLDR
In this paper, a more realistic understanding of markets and vertical integration than the ones offered by neoclassical economics and transaction economics is presented, where the focus is upon the interaction between producers and users of innovation.Abstract:
"Innovation is seen as an outcome of a collision between technological opportunities and user needs. The focus is upon the interaction between producers and users of innovation. One outcome of the analysis is a more realistic understanding of markets and vertical integration than the ones offered by neoclassical
economics and transaction economics. Another outcome is the conceptualization of national innovation
systems as an aggregate framework for processes of interactive learning at the micro-level. Together these
concepts go beyond the neo-classical actors of firms and consumers and point to the need to take into
account economic structure, institutions and policies for learning.read more
