Description
Simulating Innovation: Computer-based Tools for Rethinking Innovation
This book explores how computer models and simulation approaches can be used to investigate innovation-related issues, making it a valuable resource for academics and researchers in various fields.
The authors examine the generation, diffusion, and impact of innovations using agent-based simulation models, which can help explain the emergence of innovation from complex networks of firms, people, technologies, practices, and resources. The book provides a critical review of recent advances in agent-based modeling and other forms of simulating innovation, covering topics such as diffusion of innovations, social networks, organizational learning, science models, adopting and adapting, and technological evolution.
