Abstract

In this introduction, we outline the theoretical background for the most important concepts of the Simulating Knowledge Dynamics in Innovation Networks (SKIN) model. We describe the basic model, which we understand more as a theoretical framework than as a piece of code and preview the following chapters, which apply the SKIN model to diverse industrial sectors and develop related network models to generate insights about the dynamics of innovation networks.

The analogy is not exact, for the kene units can represent items of tacit knowledge (which can therefore not be made explicit as IPC codes) and can also represent non-technical knowledge, such as business strategies, marketing techniques and management competences, none of which are patentable.
