520 1 _a"This book offers an approach based on Stuart Kauffman's NK-model of complex systems to better understand and analyse search strategies that firms apply to develop new technologies. The models deal with a range of topics including bounded rationality, myopia, decomposability, modularity and the emergence of technological paradigms. Innovation, Evolution and Complexity Theory makes use of complexity theory and large datasets on technologies with which to complement the analysis." "The book will be of interest to evolutionary and innovation economists and academics as well as scholars in the interdisciplinary field of complexity theory and industrial organisation."--BOOK JACKET.
