A long tradition explains technological change as recombination. Within this tradition, this Element develops an innovative combinatorial model of technological change and tests it with 2,000 years of global GDP data and with data from US patents filed between 1835 and 2010. The model explains 1) the pace of technological change for a least the past two millennia, 2) patent citations and 3) the increasing complexity of tools over time. It shows that combining and modifying pre-existing goods to produce new goods generates the observed historical pattern of technological change. A long period of stasis was followed by sudden super-exponential growth in the number of goods. In this model, the sudden explosion of about 250 years ago is a combinatorial explosion that was a long time in coming, but inevitable once the process began at least two thousand years ago. This Element models the Industrial Revolution as a combinatorial explosion.

Einige digitale Plattformen haben inzwischen eine kaum zu durchdringende Marktmacht aufgebaut. Diese ist ein Resultat ihres strukturellen Aufbaus als Vermittler zwischen Mitgliedern unter dem Einfluss von Netzeffekten sowie dem Skalierungs- und Hybridisierungspotenzial. Ergänzt wird diese strukturbedingte Marktmacht durch eine algorithmenbasierte Marktmacht, welche auf der Auswertung personenbezogener Daten und der Personalisierung von Inhalten basiert. Jene Plattform, welche die Daten ihrer Mitglieder am besten auswertet und auch die effektivste Personalisierung bietet, setzt sich im sog. »Race for Relevance« durch. Die Gründe der Marktmacht digitaler Plattformen werden unter betriebswirtschaftlichem Blickwinkel analysiert und die daraus entstehenden Herausforderungen diskutiert. Eine empirische Untersuchung analysiert die Präferenzen von Menschen zur Nutzung insb. von Content-Plattformen, welche als besonders daten-analytisch beschrieben werden können.

This book aims at providing an empirical understanding of the main drivers affecting investors¿ preferences in financing new ventures through equity crowdfunding (ECF) and determining fundraising campaign success. ECF is increasing in prominence as a route for new ventures in obtaining external financial resources. To raise capital, entrepreneurs are required to convey quality signals of their proposals with real-time information and knowledge sharing. This book advances knowledge in entrepreneurial finance by investigating the factors that affect individuals¿ decisions to participate in ECF. The authors adopt a data mining approach to extract publicly available information from a multitude of crowdfunding platforms across different countries, producing a unique dataset. The book uses an innovative hybrid analysis to generate knowledge patterns creating data-driven models on one hand, and on the other test research hypotheses adoptingstatistical models to investigate empirical evidence in line, or in contrast, with the extant literature. The book also integrates organizational theories to examine the extent to which ECF platform managers follow a strategy of isomorphism in their choice of information disclosure. The final part of the book discusses how signals are interpreted by investors, how these affect financing preferences, and ultimately the successful completion of a fundraising campaign. The book will be of interest to academics and practitioners in entrepreneurial finance, FinTech, and investment behaviour.
