A complexity approach to innovation networks. The case of the aircraft industry (1909-1997)

Article Abstract:

Issues concerning the interactions between governments, producers and users are discussed, with particular reference to the aircraft industry. Kauffman's NK-model is used to demonstrate the effects of innovation networks.
