Abstract

Technological innovations are becoming increasingly systemic in the complex and interconnected world. The initiation and evolution of systemic innovations take time and include numerous challenges, and the mechanisms through which systemic innovations emerge in the interaction between different technologies represent a research gap. This paper explores the emergence of ceramic additive manufacturing as an example of a systemic manufacturing technology innovation. We implemented an event history analysis of four ceramic-material additive manufacturing technologies. We traced the initiation and evolution paths of each of the four technologies over time and showed a pattern of activities within and across the technologies. The study contributes by revealing that systemic innovations emerge as a result of parallel and sequential development paths of within-technology system components as well as the interaction between multiple technologies. The timing of the coalescing development paths of the system components and technologies appears crucial but serendipitous instead of coordinated. The findings open new pathways for speeding up the emergence of systemic innovations and forthcoming research to support the evolution of additive manufacturing.

系统创新的启动和演变：增材制造技术兴起的模式与相互作用

在复杂和相互关联的世界中，技术创新正变得越来越系统化。系统性创新的启动和演进需要时间，并面临诸多挑战，而系统性创新在不同技术之间的互动中产生的机制是一个研究空白。本文以陶瓷增材制造的出现为例，探讨了系统性制造技术创新。我们对四种陶瓷材料增材制造技术进行了事件史分析。我们追溯了这四种技术中每种技术随着时间推移的启动和演变路径，并展示了技术内部和技术之间的活动模式。这项研究揭示了系统性创新的产生是技术内部系统组件的平行和顺序发展路径以及多种技术之间相互作用的结果。系统组件和技术的凝聚发展路径的时机似乎至关重要，但却是偶然而非协调的。这些发现为加快系统创新和即将开展的研究开辟了新的途径，以支持增材制造的发展。

期刊介绍： Creativity and Innovation Management bridges the gap between the theory and practice of organizing imagination and innovation. The journal''s central consideration is how to challenge and facilitate creative potential, and how then to embed this into results-oriented innovative business development. The creativity of individuals, coupled with structured and well-managed innovation projects, creates a sound base from which organizations may operate effectively within their inter-organizational and societal environment. Today, successful operations must go hand in hand with the ability to anticipate future opportunities. Therefore, a cultural focus and inspiring leadership are as crucial to an organization''s success as efficient structural arrangements and support facilities. This is reflected in the journal''s contents: -Leadership for creativity and innovation; the behavioural side of innovation management. -Organizational structures and processes to support creativity and innovation; interconnecting creative and innovative processes. -Creativity, motivation, work environment/creative climate and organizational behaviour, creative and innovative entrepreneurship. -Deliberate development of creative and innovative skills including the use of a variety of tools such as TRIZ or CPS. -Creative professions and personalities; creative products; the relationship between creativity and humour; arts and amp; humanities side of creativity.
