Zusammenfassung

In diesem Kapitel wird das Zusammenspiel von Politik und Innovationspolitik beispielhaft am Fall Südafrikas untersucht. Diese Untersuchung lehnt sich an die Theorie des technologischen Wandels von Freeman-Perez (1988) an, die sich mit der Art und Weise befasst, wie Technologie und Gesellschaft miteinander interagieren. Nach dieser Theorie bezieht sich technologischer Wandel auf die Neuorientierungen wichtiger Technologien, die zu einer dramatischen Veränderung der Art, der Mittel und der Gegenstände der Produktion führen. Im Alltagsverständnis wird „Innovation“ für Neuerungen im Allgemeinen gebraucht. Wir nutzen hier den Begriff „Innovation“ in der spezifischen ökonomischen Bedeutung, die von Schumpeter (1911) eingeführt wurde. Nach dieser Definition sind neue Produkte, Prozesse oder Methoden nur dann Innovationen, wenn sie in den Markt eingeführt werden. Somit ist eine technologische Erfindung nur dann eine Innovation, wenn darauf basierende Produkte auf dem Markt verkauft werden.
