A Veblenian Critique of Nelson and Winter’s Evolutionary Theory

Abstract: It is often argued that Richard Nelson and Sydney Winter's evolutionary theory is an alternative to neoclassical economics and is compatible with or complementary to Veblenian evolutionary economics. This paper subjects such arguments to critical examination. I argue that while Nelson and Winter's theory provides a more realistic account of the firm behavior than Marshallian-neoclassical theory does, it is a neoclassical evolutionary theory in much the same sense as Marshall's economics is quasi-evolutionary, … Show more

“…To understand how the internal and external organizational barriers and levers can impact the adoption process of the intercropping system, we have recourse to the Nelson and Winter evolutionary approach [55]. The latter emphasizes how the organization manages its innovation process in a context of change and evolution fraught with uncertainty [56][57][58]. It also highlights the dependence of the innovation process on the evolutionary trajectory of the technology, where evolution is defined as a process of change driven by internal and/or external organizational drivers [59].…”

“…Lall (1992) demonstrates that the enterprise's innovation increases corporate financing and entrepreneurial assets. So, the financial assets also improve the innovation among the enterprises (Dosi, 1988;Jo, 2020). Thus, the relationship between enterprise investment and enterprise innovation becomes more important, and it attracts more attention from the managers and researchers.…”
