Since the contributions of Richard Nelson, Zvi Griliches, Kenneth Arrow, Robert Solow or Everett Rogers, among others –who revived the pioneering work of Joseph A. Schumpeter– innovation studies have transformed research in economics and management of organizations.
The emergence of innovation studies has reinvigorated these two disciplines by also analysing the “creative” response of agents to these changes, directing attention to the processes of creation and evolution of agents’ knowledge bases in the configuration of their preferences and production techniques.
The complexity of these processes has led innovation studies beyond the traditional limits of economics and management, embracing new approaches and research techniques and, thus, leading to a great diversity of research lines.
The Call for the XI UAM-Accenture Award aims to attract original studies on relevant fields of research in the area of economics and management of innovation.
