Resumo: Nathan Rosenberg (1927-2015) and his works, together with Christopher Freeman and Richard Nelson, are starting points for evolutionary approach in the mid-1970s. This article discusses a paradox in Rosenberg’s work: on the one hand, he is an author skeptical on the elaboration on long waves of capitalist development, on the other hand his work is key to understand the long-term impact of technological revolutions. His critical interpretation of Schumpeter’s sequential scheme (invention-innovation-imitation) unveils how the process is more complex and multifaceted. The result is a much more elaborated view of the spread of technological revolutions, based upon a systematic study of the trajectory of several radical innovations: combustion engine, chemistry, electricity and electronics. Rosenberg’s contributions are incorporated in the emerging concept of General Purpose Technologies (GPTs) - an approach that has a dialogue with neoschumpeterian formulations on long waves of capitalist development.

Este artigo discute um elemento paradoxal na obra de Rosenberg: um autor cético quanto às ondas longas do desenvolvimento capitalista que gerou trabalhos decisivos para entender o impacto de longo prazo de revoluções tecnológicas. Parte de Schumpeter e do esquema invenção-inovaçãoimitação para demonstrar como o processo é mais complexo e multifacetado. O resultado é uma visão bem mais elaborada da propagação de revoluções tecnológicas, sistematizada no estudo da trajetória de diversas inovações radicais: motor a combustão, química, eletricidade e eletrônica. Essa contribuição teórica alimenta um diálogo com a elaboração das general purpose technologies (GPTs), que constituem uma abordagem que contém um diálogo com formulações neoschumpeterianas sobre as ondas longas do desenvolvimento capitalista.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2017-02-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa quantitativa e qualitativaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/864913810.20396/rbi.v16i1.8649138Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 16 No. 1 (2017): jan./jun.; 9-34Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 16 Núm. 1 (2017): jan./jun.; 9-34Revista Brasileira de Inovação; v. 16 n. 1 (2017): jan./jun.; 9-342178-2822reponame:Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPporhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/8649138/15687Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Brasileira de Inovaçãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlbuquerque, Eduardo da Motta e2017-08-21T10:12:19Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8649138Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbiPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/oai||rbi@ige.unicamp.br2178-28221677-2504opendoar:2017-08-21T10:12:19Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
