This study explores the evolution of technical innovation over time. It focuses on sectors of the information technology because this industry can be referred to as one of the most dynamic industries of all times. Following evolutionary theorists, we argue that technological change is gradual and that superior firms and technologies are reward by the' selection' environment. In the initial phase of the industry life cycle, technological change is expected to be radical and uncertainty is high. Over time a product or technology is likely to arise which stands out above all other products or technologies. These so-called 'basic designs' serve as sorts of 'technological guideposts' for further developments in the technology. Once a basic design established, technological progress tends to follow consistent paths or trajectories. The cumulative character of technological progress facilitates a rapid expansion of the boundaries of the technology until the natural limits of the technology are approached and technological progress slows down. Following ecological theories, supply-side developments in the industry are described on the basis of five different organizational types. On the basis of this pattern of market and technological evolution we came up with seven basic propositions.

This paper aims to provide an evolutionary theory of firm existence and boundaries. We explicitly discuss about the cause of firm existence from the viewpoint of evolutionary economics, combine functionalistic and process-oriented explanation of firm evolution, and propose industry-level theory of firm boundaries. Vertical and horizontal firm boundaries are explained in the same frame.

This paper aims to introduce paradigm shifts in the development of economic geography and to explore theoretical background and themes of the New Economic Geography discussed recently. Since the 1990s the New Economic Geography has been discussed actively in the field of economics with including the concept of space to the economic theory. The New Economic Geography has also been actively discussed in the field of economic geography with exploring new methodology and theoretical framework based on institutional and evolutionary approaches following a broad trend of "cultural turn". Diverse themes such as innovation, environment, services, feminist, labor market, etc. has been studied along the perspectives of the New Economic Geography in the field of economic geography. It is expected that new theories and methodologies for understanding and analyzing new economic spaces can be established through active interactions between economic geographers and other social scientists such as regional science, economics, sociology, etc.

본고(本稿)는 최근 경험하고 있는 경제자율화의 부진 이유가 '경제과학(經濟科學) 만능사상(萬能思想)'에서 나오는 경제관료나 경제학자들의 "시장(市場)보다 더 많아 안다"는 자만과 이에 따른 정부(政府)의 시장역할(市場役割)에 대한 불신(不信)에 있다고 보고, 시장질서(市場秩序)에 대한 신뢰회복과 경제학의 한계에 대한 인식이 앞서야 실질적(實質的)인 경제자율화(經濟自律化)가 가능할 것이라고 주장하고 있다. Hayek의 사회철학관(社會哲學觀)과 최근의 내생적(內生的) 경제제도론(經濟制度論)에 의하면 시장질서의 본질은 그 자생성에 있으며, 그 일부로서의 경제제도와 조직은 내생적으로 보다 나은 구조로 진화해 나간다. 그리고 이러한 진화를 촉진시키는 힘은 바로 경제주체(經濟主體)들간의 자유(自由)로운 경쟁(競爭)에서 나온다. 경쟁(競爭)은 미지(未知)의 가능성(可能性)을 찾아내는 발견과정이기 때문이다. 경제학은 경제현상(經濟現象)의 미래에 대한 대체적인 윤곽을 그리는 것(mere pattern prediction) 이상의 구체적인 청사진을 예측할 수는 없다. 구체적인 모습은 바로 경쟁을 통해 찾아갈 수밖에 없다. 자율화(自律化) 이후의 미래모습은 경제학자나 경제관료들보다도 시장경쟁(市場競爭)의 발견력(發見力)에 의해 찾아가는 것이 더 효과적이며 바람직하다. 이러한 인식하에 본고(本稿)는 앞으로의 정부경제정책(政府經濟政策)의 바른 방향은 시장개입(市場介入)을 통해 경제모습을 세세하게 그려는 데 있는 것이 아니라, 시장경쟁에 의한 발견과정이 원활해지도록 자율화를 통해 경쟁(競爭)을 창달함으로써 경제질서(經濟秩序)의 진화(進化)를 도모해 주는 데 있다고 주장하고 있다.

This paper aims to examine the evolutionary dynamics of the Korea's footwear industry by adopting evolutionary perspectives. To explain the evolutionary dynamics of an industry, evolutionary perspectives have paid a particular attention to exploring a variety of factors for influencing the evolution of the industry, such as the selection and imitation of the firm, the mechanism of firm's entry and exit, technological characteristics and innovation processes. The majority of existing research tend to explain that the decline of the Korea's footwear industry since 1990 was mostly due to the rapid rising of wage and the structural changes in labor-intensive industries. On the contrary, this paper attempts to explain the decline of the Korea's footwear industry, in terms of the path of selection and imitation, the dominant technological paradigm, regulatory frameworks and the meso trajectory of industry evolution. This paper concludes that the decline of the Korea's footwear industry since 1990 was appeared as a result of the evolutionary selection processes of the firms in order to adapt to changes in the environment of competition and the regime of market selection in the global footwear industry.

선박경제운항이란 예보된 기상정보를 활용하여 연료소모량을 최소화하도록 선박을 운항하는 것으로서 최근 다양한 방법론이 연구되고 있다. 성공적인 경제운항시스템을 구현하기 위해서는 기상을 고려하여 지리적 운항경로를 바꾸거나 적절하게 엔진 출력을 조절하는 방법이 필요하다. 그러나 항해 시각에 따라 연료소모량이 변하는 동적 비용 문제임을 고려할 때 지리적 운항 경로의 결정은 최적의 해를 찾기가 어렵다. 이에 이 논문에서는 매우 많은 지리적 후보 경로들 중에서 우수한 품질의 해를 효과적으로 탐색하기 위한 진화전략 기반 경로탐색 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법을 5개 노선에 대해 실험한 결과 최단거리 운항 방법에 비해 운항소요시간은 거의 차이가 없으면서도 연료소모량을 평균 1.41%, 최대 1.45% 개선시킬 수 있었다.

Tracing an evolutionary technological trajectory in the macroscopic viewpoint is useful for technology policy, but not for corporate technology and intellectual property strategy. Tackling this issue, recent bibliometric studies using patents and papers have made efforts to identify more specific and detailed technological trajectory. However, these studies cannot go beyond simple description of the past trajectory. Also, identification of technology fusion and evolution relies on experts judgments. We suggest a way of identifying microscopic evolutionary technological trajectories by combining patent citation network analysis with dynamic technology tree. Also, using new indicators of generality, diversity and novelty, we can detect key technologies that can be a starting point of next generation technology and derivative technology. HVDC(High Voltage DC transmission) system technology is exemplified.

This paper examines the evolution of the systems of innovation approach and its main issues. At first, national systems of innovation have appeared on the purpose to substitute the neoclassical macroeconomic policies. But various criticisms have been raised because of the restriction within national boundary of analysis, the lack of dynamic analysis, the danger of institutional determination, the deficiency of theoretical accuracy in national systems of innovation. Technological systems, regional systems of innovation, sectoral systems of innovation have been developed to overcome criticisms about national systems of innovation. Nevertheless the unsettled questions in the systems of innovation approach remain. The academic and policy-making usefulness of the systems of innovation approach will be expanded by development of the complementary researches within approach.

This study examines the approach of socio-technical systems and strategic niche management. It reviews the characteristics of that approach such as multi-level perspectives, the views on technology, and policy orientation. It applies the approach to the long-term vision making in science and technological innovation, socio-technical planning, participatory R&D, and science communication in Innovation policy areas and suggests some policy implications.
