기술혁신이란 말을 국어사전에서 찾아보면 새로운 기술 도입으로 일어나는 경제구조 등의 변혁을 이른다고 풀이하고 있다. 1958년 일본정부는「경제백서」를 발간하면서, '기술혁신'이란 말을 처음 사용하여 신어로 정책했다. 그 후 호시노라는 사람이 기술혁신문제를 체계적으로 정리해 "기술혁명이란 프로펠러 비행기에서 제트비행기로, 견사에서 나일론사로 변한 것처럼 어떤 새로운 원리에 의하여 폭발적인 발전을 하는 것을 말한다"고 했다. 그는 기술환경은 기술혁신 중의 혁신을 의미한다고 덧붙였다.

This paper aims at discussing the evolution of innovation theory from the beginning of the last century to present. Innovation theory has begun by Joseph Schumpeter in the beginning of the last century and his theory had not attained much attention compared to the mainstream economic theory. In the 1960s, some neo-classical economists analyzed the effect of technological change on economic growth and emphasized the role of demand in innovation process. However, in the beginning of the 1970s, Schumpeter's innovation theory, which emphasized the role of innovation and entrepreneurship in economic and social development, attained enormous attention by many liberal economists. They were called neo-Schumpeterians as they followed the theories and ideas of Schumpeter. In the middle of the 1980s, neo-Schumpeterians identified the concept of national innovation system(NIS), which is the total mobilization system of innovation resources for generating, appropriating and diffusing technological innovations. Soon this theory diffused very quickly at regional and sectoral level. As a result, there have been very active empirical studies on innovation systems in the world. Since the beginning of the 2000s the transition study have been actively carried out mainly in European countries. This study emphasizes the transition of existing innovation systems into more sustainable ones. In Korea we need to activate transition study, because there have been only few studies in this new theory.
