331 Carlos Martí Sempere An evolutionary view of defence Figure VII. Two innovations with a differing evolution in performance. This problem is especially important because, given that the competences of an organisation or company is based on accumulated learning, the firms or actors already in the market enjoy advantages over those willing to enter with their new technologies, processes and products (less developed but potentially superior). In a context in which nations hold different defence budgets, industrial discrimination can occur, as firms from nations with greater resources have more funds available for innovation, giving them a competitive advantage over nations with lower budgets and without the capacity to develop their technologies and become market leaders. 6.3 Social technologies Social technologies play an important role in the procurement of military capabilities. On the one hand they are necessary for the development of the capabilities themselves and on the other they are needed to develop a framework of organisational institutions and structures favouring the evolution of these capabilities. http://revista.ieee.es/index.php/ieee
