Background: Technological advances necessitate the reconceptualisation of certain seminal theory. Novel developments in Internet and Communication Technologies have disrupted certain markets, industries and processes. Objectives: Rothwell’s seminal generations of innovation typology provides a categorisation of advances in innovation theory. In so doing, it provides an overarching logic that relates these advances to a production function, categorising the way each wave of innovation theory has driven the time/cost curve closer to its axis. The objective of this article is to augment this typology to include theory that relates to novel technological advances, with implications for the innovation time/cost curve. Method: As a conceptual article, this work seeks to offer a synthesis of theory, extending Rothwell’s schema to incorporate theory related to novel technological developments. Results: Lacking in Rothwell’s conceptualisation of five generations of innovation is consideration of recent technological advances which necessitate a reformulation of this schema to take into account new scale relationships made possible by recent technological developments. This article seeks to extend Rothwell’s theoretical framework to incorporate these new potentialities. Conclusion: In augmenting Rothwell’s theoretical schema, certain implications for society and industries are predicted, and suggestions are made for a proposed research agenda.

罗斯威尔(Rothwell)的创新理论世代相传:新颖的理论见解和拟议的研究议程

背景:技术的进步使某些开创性的理论需要重新概念化。互联网和通信技术的新发展扰乱了某些市场,行业和流程。目标:罗斯威尔(Rothwell)开创性的创新类型学世代对创新理论的发展进行了分类。这样,它提供了一种将这些进步与生产功能相关联的总体逻辑,对每一次创新理论推动时间/成本曲线更接近其轴心的方式进行了分类。本文的目的是扩展这种类型,以包括与新颖技术进步有关的理论,并对创新时间/成本曲线产生影响。方法:作为一项概念性文章,该工作旨在提供理论的综合,扩展Rothwell的图式,以纳入与新颖技术发展有关的理论。结果:罗斯威尔(Rothwell)对五代创新的概念化缺乏考虑到了最近的技术进步,这使得必须重新设计该架构,以考虑到最近技术发展所带来的新的规模关系。本文旨在扩展Rothwell的理论框架,以纳入这些新的潜力。结论:在增强罗斯韦尔的理论图式时,可以预测对社会和产业的某些影响,并为拟议的研究议程提供建议。罗斯威尔缺乏五代创新的概念化考虑了最近的技术进步,因此有必要对这种模式进行重新表述,以考虑到近来技术发展所带来的新的规模关系。本文旨在扩展Rothwell的理论框架,以纳入这些新的潜力。结论:在增强罗斯韦尔的理论图式时,可以预测对社会和产业的某些影响,并为拟议的研究议程提供建议。罗斯威尔缺乏五代创新的概念化考虑了最近的技术进步,因此有必要对这种模式进行重新表述,以考虑到近来技术发展所带来的新的规模关系。本文旨在扩展Rothwell的理论框架,以纳入这些新的潜力。结论:在增强罗斯韦尔的理论图式时,可以预测对社会和产业的某些影响,并为拟议的研究议程提供建议。
