FUNCTIONAL DYNAMICS IN SYSTEM OF INNOVATION: A GENERAL MODEL OF SI METAPHORIZED FROM TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE

摘要

@@Based on a comparison between two strands in SI and an analysis on the notion of"ideal model", this paper builds a general model of SI through the melaphor form function-defined ideal model in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM). This general dynamic model rnetaphorized from TCM is built on the base of Yin-Yang-Five-Phases theory It is made up of five sub-systems and the supporting networks of innovation.Both static descfiptions and evolutional dynamics of SI are discussed. Policy implications are given based on the basic features of SI as a complex adaptive svstem.
