Resumo: In evolutionary economics, technological change is closely related to the dynamics of the industrial structure and competition, to the internal organization of firms and to the relation of those firms with their clients, other firms, governments and/or research centers and universities. While some authors have focused on the role of incremental changes and cumulativeness, others have examined the role of radical changes. Using the punctuated equilibrium model, this paper presents a case study about the evolution of polyolefin technology, in order to discuss the nature of technological change processes, and how they are related to the industry evolution and the behavior of incumbent and new companies.

Enquanto alguns autores têm enfatizado o papel das mudanças incrementais, outros autores têm examinado o papel das mudanças radicais. Através do modelo de equilíbrio pontuado, este artigo apresenta um estudo de caso sobre a evolução da tecnologia em poliolefinas, de maneira a discutir a natureza dos processos de mudança tecnológica, e como estes processos estão relacionados à evolução industrial e ao comportamento de empresas novas e estabelecidas.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2009-08-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/864887510.20396/rbi.v2i2.8648875Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 2 No. 2 (2003): jul./dez.; 309-328Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 2 Núm. 2 (2003): jul./dez.; 309-328Revista Brasileira de Inovação; v. 2 n. 2 (2003): jul./dez.; 309-3282178-2822reponame:Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPenghttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/8648875/15413Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Brasileira de Inovaçãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFialho, Beatriz de CastroHasenclever, LiaHemais, Carlos Alberto2017-05-09T13:03:45Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8648875Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbiPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/oai||rbi@ige.unicamp.br2178-28221677-2504opendoar:2017-05-09T13:03:45Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
