INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN ACADEMIC GLOBALIZATION: THE ROLE OF LMR

摘要

This paper explores the intersection of Joseph Schumpeter's work, the three I's, and LMR, grounded in cybernetics, informatics, and Academic Globalization. As Innovation and Entrepreneurship represent a new theme for this conference, which has historically emanated from Cybernetics and Informatics, this paper addresses the cornerstones of this new topic: Creative Destruction and Invention, Innovation and Imitation. Cross-cultural instruments serve as a vehicle for explaining innovation and entrepreneurship, and the challenges in pursuit of academic globalization. Revolutionary or evolutionary, it is innovation that ignites its precursor, Invention, and yields its inevitable consequence, Imitation. Creative Destruction enables this life-cycle, through the Linear-active, Multi-active, and Reactive (LMR) framework, which represents invention, which then fosters cross-cultural communication, i.e. innovation. Imitation is represented through competing explanations of cross-cultural communication, which concludes this cycle. Entrepreneurship is linked to this cycle through innovation, and importantly to cybernetics and informatics through positive feedback loops.
