About

Mark Knell is a leading scholar in evolutionary and innovation economics, with a primary focus on technological revolutions, long waves of economic development, and the structural transformation of industries. His most influential work, "The digital revolution and digitalized network society" (2021, 75 citations), draws on the foundational theories of Schumpeter, Freeman, and Perez to analyze how the digital revolution is reshaping techno-economic paradigms and driving the digitalization of society and the economy. Knell’s research illuminates the mechanisms through which radical innovations create new industrial networks, alter employment patterns, and redefine competitive dynamics. His contributions are particularly valued for bridging historical patterns of technological change with contemporary digital transformations, offering a robust framework for understanding the current era of artificial intelligence and platform-based economies. With a career dedicated to unpacking the interplay between innovation, institutions, and economic growth, Knell’s work is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to grasp the deep structural shifts underlying modern capitalism.
