The tree lives beyond its leaves: Freeman’s legacy on system thinking for innovation studies

José Miguel Natera

Innovation and Development, 2022, vol. 12, issue 1, 77-84

Abstract: In this short essay, I will discuss Christopher Freeman’s legacy using two axes: (i) the multidimensional vision that he has put forward in National Innovation Systems and (ii) the upmost importance of considering time as a structuring element of the systemic analysis of innovation. I identify some aspects of Freeman’s systemic thinking. This essay is closed by reflecting on the beautiful road ahead that Freeman has signalled for future generations of scholars.
