Modelling is an important tool to support policy-making. A review of the existing bioeconomy modelling capacity indicates that most models focus on agriculture, forestry, and connected sectors of food, energy, and wood and paper products. Future development of bioeconomy modelling capacities should focus on including bio-based products such as text...

The view of dynamic capabilities in evolutionary economics as being based on capabilities comprised of routines has so far precluded their integration in evolutionary economics. This Element contributes to such integration by introducing the dynamic metacapabilities framework. Borrowing from quantum mechanics, dynamic metacapabilities assume that r...

Purpose A research gap exists regarding the impact of digital transformation on automotive open innovation, despite extensive literature on both topics individually. This study aims to fill this. Design/methodology/approach The study analyzes patent-based open innovation before and after the digital transformation, focusing on US patents filed by...

Our article deals with the governance of responsible research and innovation (RRI) and aims to set out a first psychologically grounded decision-theoretic method for the governance of RRI. We approach the governance of RRI as a multicriteria group decision analysis problem of delivering social welfare in an innovation ecosystem. Following such a me...

The concept of the twin transition promotes leveraging synergies between the digital and sustainability transitions. This introduction to the special issue takes an innovation economic perspective to examine the development of digital green technologies for, and the adoption by, carbon-intensive sectors. It reveals how entrepreneurial activity and...

What is the difference between economic growth, economic development and economic transformation?The example of the Bioeconomy. A better understanding of the relationship between innovation andclimate change in economics is hampered by entrenched notions of economic growth. Even the broader notion of economic development gets only a little closer t...

Welcome to the Special Issue on Applications of Complexity for Resilient Organizations, Management, and Innovation Systems. This Special Issue includes six articles highlighting how complexity science and complex systems approaches can be employed to study resilient aspects in organizations, management and innovation systems. Nowadays, governments,...

Innovations can substantially contribute to the transformation toward sustainability if they induce a positive social and/or environmental impact. Such sustainable innovations differ considerably from conventional, purely economic innovations. The main difference stems from the different knowledge bases necessary for the development of these innova...

Innovations incorporating environmental and social considerations can address many sustainability challenges. Such sustainable innovations emerge in networks often comprising actors from business, academia, civil society, and government. The crucial interactions here are the (co-)creation and transfer of knowledge, mutual learning, and experimentat...

Food safety, security, and sustainability are embedded in the foundational essence of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN), such as zero hunger, gender equality, economic growth, climate action, and life on land. The SDGs' targets, global policy directions, regional endeavours (e.g. European green deal), and natio...

In this article, we explain how the data-driven approach to Artificial Intelligence enabled by global demateralization and embraced by digital platforms leads to an “excess of unutilized big data” and why the need to unlock the value hidden in increasingly larger volumes of big data leads to a new model of how digital platforms drive and profit fro...

The circular economy (CE) and bioeconomy (BE) are recognized as potential solutions for achieving sustainable development, yet little research has examined their potential contribution to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of 649 articles published between 2007 and 2022, as...

Existem diversas teorias econômicas que buscam explicar o crescimento econômico, embora estes estudos não demonstrem consenso acerca das estratégias para o desenvolvimento econômico. Nesse sentido, a questão que os países emergentes precisam abordar é qual estratégia é mais eficaz para alcançar o desenvolvimento econômico. Estudos recentes lançam l...

In the light of current global societal challenges, our economic systems need to transform towards sustainable, knowledge-based economies. In this regard, knowledge represents the key component for economic development. However, the nexus between a knowledge-based economy and sustainability has thus far not received the required attention. Only kno...

For a successful transformation towards a sustainable bioeconomy, cooperative knowledge creation leading to innovations through research at the company and academic level are important. Urban regions are the centre of economic and research activities. The example of the region of Stuttgart, which aims to complement its mature industrial structure w...

While Herbert Simon's formalistic perspective on the process of design is widely influential, it has shortcomings in prescribing the development of technically advanced systems. Notably, it does not explicate how the development requires decomposition into subsystems and subsequent distribution of tasks over domain experts. In addition, it has an i...

Das Konzept der Bioökonomie umfasst die Transformation von einer fossilen hin zu einer nachhaltigeren, biobasierten Form des Wirtschaftens. Die Region Stuttgart steht vor der Aufgabe, die Nutzung fossiler Energie und Rohstoffe zu reduzieren, perspektivisch zu ersetzen und gleichzeitig die ökonomische Zukunftsfähigkeit der Region zu erhalten, auszub...

The book was inadvertently published with its Chapters 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 having an incorrect “Copyright Holder Name” and “Copyright Year” information. The reprinting information in the footnotes of these Spin-Off chapters were also missed to be included to these 7 chapters.

Lean Startup (LS) has been overlooked as a method to model businesses for sustainability. To theoretically assess such LS capacity, we conceptually devolve one assessment tool or meta-model. The meta-model validates the ability of any eco-innovation practice to address the business-society-nature interface, the eco-innovation dimensions, and two se...

In this article, we introduce the global stakeholder capitalism model of digital platforms. We describe the role that big data plays in the formation of the new extended innovation ecosystems of digital platforms and explain how these extended innovation ecosystems give rise to this new model. We discuss the implications of this new model for the s...

This collection of papers builds on the idea that the bioeconomy provides a framework for potentially effective solutions addressing the grand global challenges by a turn towards an increased use of biological resources, towards renewability and circularity. Consequently, it cannot be perceived as an end in itself. Thus, innovative endeavors within...

To address increasingly urgent global environmental challenges, there is a need for rapid and widespread adoption of eco-innovations. Previous research has shown that targeting key initial adopters using network-based strategies is an effective way to increase the adoption and diffusion of innovations; however, these models have not specifically be...

One of the most difficult tasks that economies face is how to generate economic growth without causing environmental damage. Research in economic complexity has provided new methods to reveal structural constraints and opportunities for green economic diversification and sophistication, as well as the effects of economic complexity on environmental...

It is great to launch these conference proceedings from the ISS 2018 conference held in Seoul, July 2–4, Korea. The theme of the ISS 2018 was “Innovation, Catch-up, and Sustainable Development. Keun Lee, one of the guest editors of this volume, served as the President of the Society (2016–2018) and also as the main host or Chairman of the Organizin...

The bioeconomy transition is seen as a means to achieving industrial competitiveness. Targeted actions on leverage points can have specific effects on transitional changes in system dynamics; these actions have yet to be identified in the context of the knowledge-based health bioeconomy in Kenya. This paper employs system dynamics and grounded theo...

Mainstream approaches to analyzing innovation systems are based on statistical methods, use standard sets of indicators, and are typically deployed to measure and classify innovation performance. As they are not based on decision-theoretic approaches that involve the multiple agents that are usually embedded in innovation systems, conventional appr...

Several studies argue that agricultural mechanization has reduced employment and wages. However, there is a lack of studies analyzing employment and income over time, especially comparing the agricultural activities. Our major argument is the structural change in the employment - from un-skilled to skilled workers which has to be understood because...

With its update of the Bioeconomy Strategy and the Green Deal, the European Commission committed itself to a transformation towards a sustainable and climate-neutral European Union. This process is characterised with an enormous complexity, which policymaking needs to acknowledge for designing transition pathways. Modelling can support policymaking...

Die evolutorische Ökonomik setzt sich die Erklärung von dynamischen, überwiegend durch technologische und andere Innovationen verursachten Wirtschaftsprozessen zum Ziel. Theoretisch wurzelt sie in den Arbeiten von Joseph A. Schumpeter aus dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert, der den in der Volkswirtschaftslehre im Vordergrund stehenden Preiswettbewerb durch...

Research in Data Envelopment Analysis has created rankings of the ecological efficiency of countries' economies. At the same time, research in economic complexity has provided new methods to depict productive structures and has analyzed how economic diversification and sophistication affect environmental pollution indicators. However, no research s...

Successful transitions to a sustainable bioeconomy require novel technologies, processes, and practices as well as a general agreement about the overarching normative direction of innovation. Both requirements necessarily involve collective action by those individuals who purchase, use, and co-produce novelties: the consumers. Based on theoretical...

As a microcosm for future challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic exhibits increasingly transboundary dynamics, causing interconnected problems across multiple societal systems. To examine the role of innovations as a social mechanism to reconcile these arising challenges, we view the unfolding of the pandemic through the lens of a content analysis of 70...

Network dynamics, economic transformation, and policy design are closely related phenomena that influence the performance of economic systems in a variety of ways. In this introductory paper, we set the stage for a series of excellent contributions addressing some still largely unexplored questions in this research field. At the core of our introdu...

In this contribution, we set out a framework for ethical research and innovation. Our framework draws upon recent scholarly work recommending the introduction of new models at the intersection of ethics, strategy, and science and technology studies to inform and explicate how the decisions of researchers can be considered ethical. Ethical research...

This volume presents selected contributions from the 2018 conference of the International Schumpeter Society (ISS). The selected chapters in this volume reflect the state-of-the-art of Schumpeterian economics dedicated to the three conference topics innovation, catch-up, and sustainability. Innovation is driving catch-up processes and is the condit...

This study investigates how structural change that leads to increasing output variety was gradually perceived by economists and eventually incorporated into models of economic growth. We trace the evolution of growth models from exclusively macroeconomic models to those that include micro and meso levels of aggregation, and further, to those that p...

Eine Strategie zur Umsetzung einer nachhaltigen Bioökonomie muss neben disziplinären und technischen Zielvorstellungen auch den gesellschaftlichen Wandel einplanen und vorbereiten. Eine zukunftsfähige politische Strategie muss also neben dem techno-ökonomischen Wissen ebenso solches Wissen fördern, welches es Produzenten und Konsumenten ermöglicht,...

In recent years, many scholars praised the seemingly endless possibilities of using machine learning (ML) techniques in and for agent-based simulation models (ABM). To get a more comprehensive understanding of these possibilities, we conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) and classify the literature on the application of ML in and for ABM acc...

After more than 200 years of industrial production, large portions of humankind are wealthier than ever before. At the same time, industrial production to date is closely linked to the exploitation of natural resources. The influence of human activity has assumed global proportions, as can be seen most clearly from the accumulation of climate-damag...

Using a serious game for experimental economic research, we obtain insights in how human subjects cope with market and technological uncertainty and their bounded rationality in solving product development challenges. We find not only remarkable differences in the overall performances of cohorts of subjects, but also in the evolution of the product...

Due to increasing competitive pressure, growing customer demands and rising desire for individuality in the product design, companies face rising demands on the efficiency of their production systems. This challenges the alignment of established philosophies such as Lean and Industry 4.0 and requires respective strategy derivations to be translated...

Perspectives on Robots brings forth voices of different stakeholders engaged in or affected by new robot development to deliver a reality check on what robots are and what we can expect them to do. How will the robots developed today influence the nurses, teachers, physiotherapists, car mechanics, and cleaning staff of the future? And how are these...

The transition towards a bioeconomy is considered a powerful approach to combating current trends of unsustainability. To date, the concept has been widely perceived as a predominantly technical endeavor. This is, however, not sufficient and will not really tackle the global sustainability challenges. Therefore, the imparting of technological knowl...

Western economies nowadays are confronted with a predicted productivity slowdown resulting in diminishing rates of economic growth. While some scholars see these developments as an indication of the approaching end of growth due to fully exploited technological opportunities, this article contends that the possibilities for radical, paradigm changi...

This article places the evolution and co-evolution of regional innovation processes at the top of the contemporary research agenda by introducing a special issue on this topic. The contributions cover a number of distinct but complementary issues on evolutionary and co-evolutionary processes of innovation activities at the regional level and provid...

Successful transformations to sustainability and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) (United Nations 2015) require fundamental changes in socioeconomic systems. To tackle effectively the global challenges humanity is confronted with, radical changes on a technological, organizational, economic, institutional, sociocultural, a...

The paper employs a regional innovation system concept and divides system failures into three categories: institutional infrastructure, organizational landscape and structural connectedness. To analyze the economic effects of systemic interventions, it employs the VISIBLE model, which allows ex-ante policy experiments to be conducted in a virtual s...

Die Tatsache, dass Wertschöpfung mehr und mehr in komplexen, interorganisationalen Netzwerken stattfindet, hat seit den 1950er Jahren die Forschung zum Einfluss sozialer (Netzwerk-)Strukturen vorangetrieben. Die Aussage, dass die sozialen Verbindungen zwischen Firmen die Leistungsfähigkeit dieser sowie die des gesamten Netzwerkes beeinflussen, führ...

Recently, new regional innovation policy paradigms emerged that transcend a long-lived dispute on whether either regional specialization, diversification, or rather related variety is most conducive to regional innovativeness. This includes ‘smart specialization’ in which regions are deliberately specialized and connected following technological re...

Innovation policy and business strategy often expect that investing in private and public research and development will immediately produce a flow of products and processes with high commercial and social returns. Policymakers and managers implicitly follow the logic underlying most linear innovation models assuming a well-defined and uni-direction...

More than one hundred years after Thorstein Veblen’s famous article ‘Why is Economics Not an Evolutionary Science?’, Evolutionary Economics is now widely recognized as a highly productive approach offering crucial insights for the understanding of socio-economic processes of change and development. A major feature in the development of Evolutionar...

In recent literature, there is disagreement over the temporal pattern of vertical governance of firms over the product life-cycle. We use a novel neo-Schumpeterian agent-based simulation model to investigate emerging patterns of vertical governance for different levels of imitability and substitutability of capabilities. We find that, in the mature...

Abstract: Since Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum declared the arrival of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there has been much discussion about it. However, there is no commonly agreed-upon definition of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Therefore, we attempted to answer the following four research questions. “What is the definition of the...

Der Struktur und Dynamik von Netzwerken wird in der soziologischen Organisations- und Netzwerkforschung bereits seit Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine große Bedeutung beigemessen. Gleichzeitig fällt auf, dass einem Großteil der empirischen Studien im Bereich der interorganisationalen Netzwerkforschung eine statische Perspektive zugrunde liegt. Die St...

The transformation towards a knowledge-based bioeconomy has the potential to serve as a contribution to a more sustainable future. Yet, until now, bioeconomy policies have been only insufficiently linked to concepts of sustainability transformations. This article aims to create such link by combining insights from innovation systems (IS) research a...

We study the projected impact of automation on employment in the forthcoming decade, both at the macro-level and in actual (types of) sectors. Hereto, we unite an evolutionary economic model of multisectoral structural change with labor economic theory. We thus get a comprehensive framework of how displacement of labor in sectors of application is...

Regarding your Free exchange column purporting to review how economists understand growth (April 14th), we also share serious misgivings about the adequacy of the analysis of economic growth that one sees in the standard textbooks and in much of the current literature. Granting the legitimacy of that target, however, we found that you fell short wh...

Cambridge Core - Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Modern Evolutionary Economics - by Richard R. Nelson

This paper contributes to the (re-)conceptualisation of responsible innovation by proposing an evolutionary economic approach that focuses on the role of consumers in the innovation process. After a discussion of the philosophical foundations and ethical implications of this approach, which bears an explanatory potential that has not been adequatel...

To improve sustainability, the global economic system has to undergo severe transformation processes. This chapter deals with the possibility of an innovation-triggered transformation towards a knowledge-based bioeconomy, which is supposed to overcome the current lock-in into a fossil fuel-based CO2-intensive production. To do this, a neo-Schumpete...

The aim of this article is to complement research on transformations towards sustainability by drawing upon the innovation systems (IS) framework. The IS framework already serves as a suitable and influential basis for research on processes of technological innovation and economic change. We argue that improving the capacity of an IS framework for...

In order to counter something to the most thrilling challenges of mankind at the beginning of the twenty-first century, production and consumption systems need to transform towards sustainability. We argue that the knowledge-based bioeconomy and digitalization are two promising technological approaches which require to be thought together in order...

Im Jahr 1982 erschien das zwischenzeitlich weltweit am häufigsten zitierte wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Werk von Richard Nelson und Sidney Winter: An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change und bereitete das Feld für die mittlerweile prosperierende Evolutionsökonomik bzw. Schumpeterianische Ökonomik (vgl. Hanusch/Pyka, 2006a, 2007a).
