About
Luigi Marengo is a leading scholar in the economics of innovation, organization theory, and evolutionary economics. His research explores how firms create, transfer, and organize knowledge, with a particular focus on the cognitive and institutional dimensions of technological change. Marengo’s most cited work, “Is this time different? A note on automation and labour in the fourth industrial revolution” (2019, 25 citations), critically examines the impact of AI and robotics on labor markets, arguing that current automation trends may fundamentally reshape employment structures in ways distinct from past industrial revolutions. Earlier, in “Towards a Characterisation of Assets and Knowledge Created in Technological Agreements” (1997, 2 citations), he pioneered a framework for analyzing inter-firm collaborations in the automobile-robotics sector, highlighting how knowledge created within agreements varies in tacitness, generality, and centralization. This work remains foundational for understanding the micro-dynamics of innovation networks. Marengo’s contributions have shaped debates on organizational learning, the division of labor, and the governance of knowledge assets. His interdisciplinary approach—bridging economics, management, and cognitive science—has influenced both academic research and policy discussions on the future of work.
