Paradigmatic Shifts in National Innovation Systems 1

Profound changes are taking place in the world economy and in the innovation systems of countries. The main influencing trends could be summarized by the terms globalization, liberalization, dematerialization, and technological revolution. Their joint effects have been the enhanced uncertainty and turbulence felt in the world economic system since the 1973 crisis and the gradual emergence of a ...

Multisectoral Growth and National Innovation Systems

Terje Lensberg and other participants of the NOPEC conference on "Innovations, Policy and Society" (Oslo, December 1997) are gratefully acknowledged. 2 Because of their emphasis on bounded rationality and on technology as a very special kind of good, many economists dealing with the economics of technical change and the broader field of evolutionary economics tend to apply a form of theorising ...

Opening Embedded Systems for Open Innovation

Openness for open innovation is becoming increasingly important in the field of embedded systems (ES). ES are traditionally designed for a particular purpose, however most ES firms are beginning to open up their systems. This allows third parties to enhance them with additional software, or hardware components. It is not enough to just provide access to a system though, it also requires that it...

Towards Open Innovation in Embedded Systems

By opening up a technology, firms can incorporate external actors to improve their products or to develop new applications on top of it. This phenomenon is discussed in the literature as open innovation (Chesbrough, 2003). An embedded system is an example of a modular and traditionally closed technology where parts of the system can be opened in order to stimulate innovation. In this paper, we ...
