The Transfer and Diffusion of New Technologies: A Review of the Economics Literature

Specifically, Lunn's conclusions are (1) there is a positive relation between concentration and process patenting, while the same is not true for product patenting; and (2) there is a weak positive link between advertising and product patenting.…”

Service Innovation in Developing Economies: Policy Rationale and Framework

The technological view, partly reflected in Pavitt's (1984Pavitt's ( , 1989 classifications and in Barras's (1986Barras's ( , 1990) reverse product cycle model, is part of the few attempts to develop a genuine innovation theory for services Gallouj (2002b). Services are often seen as innovative to the extent that they can be integrated into new technologies, but this is not the only way service innovation behaves.…”
