本文首先对技术创新的路径依赖和路径创造进行了分析,说明了路径依赖造成技术创新的低效率和路径创造呈现出强大创新动力这一事实。在此基础之上,提出了技术创新从路径依赖到路径创造转变的论题,并根据技术创新的不同形式阐述了两种转变方式。其次,表达了技术创新具有复杂适应系统的特点并根据CAS理论特点提出了转变假设。最后,结合文中案例从复杂适应系统理论和案例分析角度出发对这一转变假设进行论证。

In this paper, we first analyze the path-dependence and the path-creation of technology innovation, and clarify the fact that the path-creation present potential innovation power in contrast to the path-dependence which will lead to the inefficiency of technology innovation. Then, we propose the thesis of the transformation of technology innovation from path-dependence to path-creation and define two ways based on the different types of technology innovation. Next, we describe technology innovation has the characteristic of complex adaptive system and present the transformational hypothesis based on the CAS theory. Finally, we prove the hypothesis through case study and CAS theory.
