Computational Explorations of Compatibility and Innovation
. This paper presents a range of computational simulations related to the compatibility of novel ideas that suggest interesting phenomena regarding divergence and convergence, social influence and patterns of change. These computational studies produce insights providing the researcher with another tool to reason about these challenging problems. According to current theory, innovations that ar...
متن کاملCompeting engines of growth: Innovation and standardization
We study a dynamic general equilibrium model where innovation takes the form of the introduction of new goods whose production requires skilled workers. Innovation is followed by a costly process of standardization, whereby these new goods are adapted to be produced using unskilled labor. Our framework highlights a number of novel results. First, standardization is both an engine of growth and ...
متن کاملMaintaining compatibility in an innovation infrastructure
This paper describes the NORMANS wearable computer-system and the industrial project through which it was realized. The aim of the project was to test whether commercially available off-the-shelf components (COTS) could be assembled for a fully-functional wearable configuration that would meet the harsh demands of artic field-use. This paper reflects on this process. It points to the notion of ...
متن کاملStandardization as an Arena for Open Innovation
This paper argues that anticipatory standardization can be viewed as an arena for open innovation and shows this through two cases from mobile telecommunication standardization. One case is the Android initiative by Google and the Open Handset Alliance, while the second case is the general standardization work of the Open Mobile Alliance. The paper shows how anticipatory standardization intenti...
متن کاملInnovation and standardization: Yin and Yang for policy in motion
A cycle of innovation and standardization The setting is the Internet; the time is a moment ripe for improvement. In a typical scenario innovative Ôrunning codeÕ will be proposed, after which a trial period ensues. There may be a competition with similar proposals (and certainly a competition with the established ideas), along with improvements based on trial results. After some period, the mod...
