• Globalization
• Increased competition (differentiation)

Historical view on innovation:
Innovation has not always been valued in the past. It usually was conflicting with
authorities’ thoughts.
- Godin (2012): An Old Word for a New World
- The De-Contestation of a Political and Contested Concept
• Nikolai Kondratieff (1925): Theory of long waves (controversial theory, but it puts
“technological innovation” center stage
