Different studies have tried to find a common thread that places different evolutionary and neo-Schumpeterian contributions to economic change under one umbrella. The complexity approach can account for a set of attributes that evolutionary economics has been considering, as decentralized interaction, heterogeneous agents, bounded rationality, netw...

This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art-review of the literature on the innovation process at the firm level (IFL), based on Social Network Analysis and Text Mining techniques. As opposed to the 'black box' vision, we conceive innovation as a process that emerges from formal and informal R&D efforts. Based on search results on academic publis...

The objective of this article is to establish a dialogue between the recent ‘Industry 4.0’ (I4.0) literature and evolutionary neo-Schumpeterean studies about techno-organizational paradigms. In that direction, we wonder whether I4.0 constitutes a new paradigm, as it is assumed by the first group of literature, or it represents – until the moment –...
