Abstract
This paper presents a simulation model to analyze the causal links between these characteristics and the emergence of innovative strategy of industrial firms. Due to some peculiarities of the model, such as the presupposition of extremely limited rationality and the relationship between cumulative-stochastic absorptive capacity and innovative success of firms, this paper permit new ideas for the study of technological and industrial dynamics. The first is that the emergence of patterns of technology strategy is conditioned not only by the technological features of the system, but also by the initial conditions of the simulation, indicating that the historical context is also crucial for determining these standards. Another important conclusion concerns the time required for the emergence of these patterns, which can be relatively long as it is influenced by the characteristics of selective dynamics and the time required for the innovative firm to reassess their innovative strategies.References
