As a result, we are as a society, lacking the scientific tools to understand, improve or otherwise impact on the processes of invention and innovation. This book delves deeply into that topic, taking the position that the complex systems approach, with its emphasis on ‘emergence’, is better suited than our traditional approach to the phenomenon. In a collection of very coherent papers, which are the result of an EU-funded four year international research team’s effort, it addresses various aspect of the topic from different disciplinary angles. One of the main emphases is the need, in the social sciences, to move away from neo-darwinist ‘population thinking’ to ‘organization thinking’ if we want to understand social evolution. Another main emphasis is on developing a generative approach to invention and innovation, looking in detail at the contexts within which invention and innovation occur, and how thes | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 关键词 | Agent based modelling; Complex Systems; Europe; Innovation Studies; Nation; Social Evolution; Social Scien | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-9663-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-8179-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-9663-1Series ISSN 1572-7750 Series E-ISSN 2542-9892 | issn_series | 1572-7750 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 |
