Before delving into the context of lab-on-a-chip for cell analysis we explore what the literature can tell us with regards to insights into emerging path dynamics stemming from sociology of S&t, evolutionary economics and organization studies.
and highlight relevant notions. 2. 1 Insights from the literature into the notion of path From literature on evolutionary economics,
The idea from evolutionary economics of a selection environment indicates the part played by economic, institutional and social factors in shaping a technology. 4 Braun for example describes the early notions of innovation as being characterised by a‘linear'view of innovation as an automatic spill over process between basic knowledge
and techno-economic paradigms (macro-level analysis stemming from evolutionary economics similar to Nelson & Winters natural trajectories) critique both analyses for missing the interplay between both.
It is acknowledged generally that the theoretical rationale for foresight exercises is supported by the perspective (or school) of evolutionary economics (Georghiou and Keenan 2006.

However, the basic ideas underlying evolutionary economics are still a matter of considerable controversy. Among the main objections we can find for instance:
but as demonstrated in a recent article published by Geoffrey Hodgson 20 in the Journal of Evolutionary economics,
Policy learning is also a major issue in evolutionary economics of innovation 27 29. Early applications of adaptive policies are also found in the field of environmental management 30,31,
