摘要
从创新活动中偶然性的重要作用出发,结合现实背景和相关理论,提出一种区别于传统创新的过程模式——偶发性创新,即由偶然因素引发的创新。归纳出偶发性创新的基本特征和构成要素,并指出其与一般创造过程的区别。进而在前人实证研究的基础上,提出偶发性创新较一般创新模式而言通常蕴含更高技术价值的观点,指出该创新模式可能成为突破性创新的替代方案,成为跨越型技术产生的源泉之一。
Reviewing the innovative product brought by chance in our history, this paper propounds a new concept serendipitous innovation, which represents innovation caused by chance. On the basis of the theory on ＂serendipity＂, we present the basic elements and traits of this kind of innovative mode. And we reveal that orienting new questions or not is the essential difference between serendipitous innovation and the common creativity. Assuming that the technology brought by serendipitous innovation is generally more radical than conventional innovation, this paper points out this new mode of innovation may be a substitution for radical innovation and become a source of novel techniques.
