This paper studies the evolution of a network of leading firms that are engaged in an active search to improve their technological capability through interaction with knowledge-heterogeneous firms. Through the simulation of a linear model of technological spillovers we show the emergence of paradigm setters and the impact of search routines on the system’s average performance

Innovation in form of new products, processes or forms of productive organisation brings growth to firms and development to economies and therefore it is important to understand sources of innovation and technological capabilities. In this context this paper explores sources of innovation and technological capability in the Indian automobile industry. In last decade Indian auto industry emerged...

This article examines the role of R&D support in degree internationalization through mediating mechanism technological capability. We also investigate moderating turbulence relationship between and Using primary data collected from 227 firms engaged cross-border activities, employing moderated mediation analysis, results show that positively relates to capability, this is by turbulence. Moreove...

In this paper, we observe that developed countries are generally equipped with innovation capabilities and produce major chunk of the world’s knowledge and technology. The contribution of developing countries, on the other hand, is insignificant, and most of them far behind the global technological front. More specifically, we empirically observe that the developing world neither contributes su...

In the 21st century, China is being confronted with not only various urgent challenges (including industrialization, urbanization, modernization, and informatization), but also various pressures (including energy/resource shortages and environmental pollution). In this context, it is imperative for China to carry out new-type industrialization characterized by high technological content, high e...

Two different metrics quantifying model and simulator predictive capability are formulated evaluated; both exploit results from conducted validation experiments where simulation compared to the corresponding measured quantities. The first metric is inspired by modified nearest neighbor coverage second Kullback–Liebler divergence. two implemented in Python a here-developed general metamodel desi...
