Interesting problems for the studies of the Anthropocene are the analysis of effects of the predominant impact of human activities on ecosystems and population. This study considers the technological change as the human activity that generates a huge impact on ecosystems and also causes...

This study suggests a new concept of technology that is a main element of the system of technological change in society: killer or disruptive technology is a based on new products and/or processes that destroys the usage of established products/processes sold and used. The behavior of killer...

This study proposes the theory of technological parasitism that may be useful for bringing a new perspective to explain and generalize the evolution of technology directed to sustain competitive advantage of firms and nations. Technological parasitism explains the relationship of mutualistic...

A vast literature exists on disruptive technologies; however, some fundamental questions are unknown, such as: how is the speed of disruptive technologies in competitive markets? How is the pathway of technological cycle of disruptive technologies? The study confronts these questions here by...

A fundamental problem in the field of new technology is how firms develop and sustain disruptive technologies for industrial change. The literature has analyzed several characteristics of disruptive innovations. However, the drivers are hardly known. The study suggests that, in markets with high...

Evolution of technology is a stepwise advancement of a complex system of artifact, driven by interaction with sub-systems and other systems, considering technical choices, technical requirements and science advances, which generate new and/or improved products or processes for use or consumption...

The abundance of typologies, within the economics of innovation, has resulted in the same name being used for different innovation types and the same innovation being classified under different typologies. The present research introduces the Scale of Innovation Intensity (SIIN) based on...

The goal of this study is a technology analysis of a revolution for the management of valvular heart diseases given by new technological system based on transcatheter artificial aortic valve, a delivery catheter and a loading system for the treatment of aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic...

Objectives: The goal of this study is to analyze the evolution of technology in artificial heart valves for solving the problem of aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic valve opening) that is one of the most common valvular heart diseases in society. In particular, this study explains the...
