This paper compares systematically the two theoretical models of adaptation, ecological and evolutionary. Using notions from innovation, learning, and balanced change, the two models are contrasted in the context of 73 European, Japanese, and U.S. industrial robotics firms that introduced new robotics products in 1984-1997.
