This research introduces the scale of innovation intensity (SIIN) based on meta-taxonomy that subsumes other, less comprehensive taxonomies. The SIIN is similar to seismic scale used to measure the intensity of earthquakes. The intensity of technological change is measured by an indicator, called Magnitude, based on the impact of technological innovations on the economic system. The theory is a...

Inventions, innovations, and creativity are cornerstones of technology-based industries. Organizations working in technology-intensive industries must constantly balance creativity with order and innovation with efficiency. In this paper, I focus on organizational innovations as potential sources of competitive advantage. Strategic assets can be assessed with the VRIO framework. Strategic asset...

Innovation system studies devote a key role to organizational actors in the development of new technologies. However, little effort has been made to incorporate a conceptual understanding of e.g. resources, capabilities and strategy making at the organizational level into the systems framework. In this conceptual paper, we explore the linkages between resource based reasoning in the field of ma...

The Honey Bee Network has helped provide a sort of loose platform to converge creative, but uncoordinated individuals across not only Indian states having varying cultural, linguistic and social ethos, but also in 75 other countries around the world. What the Network is trying to do in a rather quiet manner may transform the way the resources—in which poor people are rich—are used in the future...

We construct a competitive model of innovation and growth under constant returns to scale. Previous models of growth under constant cannot model technological innovation. Current models of endogenous innovation rely on the interplay between increasing returns and monopolistic markets. In fact, established wisdom claims monopoly power to be instrumental for innovation and sees the non-rivalrous ...

Innovations in information and communication technology (ICT) have dramatically influenced the nature and quality of government-to-constituent interactions all over the world. However the underlying structural, organizational and institutional components upon which technological innovation is superimposed are as widely divergent as the cultures from which they derive. As a result, the successes...

Efficient delivery of light into nanoscale volumes by converting free photons into localized charge-density oscillations (surface plasmons) enables technological innovation in various fields from biosensing to photovoltaics and quantum computing. Conventional plasmonic nanostructures are designed as nanoscale analogs of radioantennas and waveguides. Here, we discuss an alternative approach for ...

The history of antitrust policy in the US as it relates to technological innovation exhibits major swings every few decades between favoring concentration and favoring deconcentration. This paper sketches for each period the contending ideas that frame antitrust-technology policy debates, the salience of these ideas in the larger antitrust policy process, the institutions for agenda-setting and...
