Chapter Chapter 1 in The Digital Innovation Race, 2021, pp 1-21 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This book conceptualizes the global innovation race between nation states and corporations in the second phase of a technological revolution characterized by Artificial Intelligence and explosive growth in digital services. Each chapter elaborates on an existing or new conceptual framing to analyse empirical dimensions of the economics and politics of innovation in the context of digital capitalism. In this introductory chapter, we set the scene by presenting the main actors and highlight the crucial role of Artificial Intelligence. We end it by introducing the structure of the book.
