Previous: Local Interactions and Technology
- Techology development takes place in a social network of firms.
- Technologies are never developed by isolated firms.
- No Silicon Valley
no Windows 95 (Xerox+Apple+MS), no
Pentium II!
- Understanding technology dynamics entails the analysis of
interactions between innovators.
- Mainly two kinds of interactions:
- Global, anonymous interactions (tacit knowledge);
- local, tagged individual interactions (formal or informal
information exchange).
