| Abstract: | Process technology is biased against selection of emerging process technologies such as nanotechnologies, biotechnology and microtechnologies (MEMS), since these decisions are frequently based on assumptions that are only valid for mature sustaining process technologies. This is a great concern since emerging process technologies are drivers of economic growth, especially in developed economies. This paper considers the learning curve literature and integrates it with the literature on technological trajectories and innovation to develop a theory for modeling the learning curve for emerging process technologies. |
