However. macrostability, defined as an overall dynamic process in which the advances come about quite regularly is incompatible with microstability.
Macrostability, defined as an overall dynamic process in which the advances come about quite regularly is incompatible with microstability. defined as the stability associated with an unchanging environment (Klein. 1977). Therefore great diversity of firm behaviour is required to produce regular advances at the macroeconomic level. An important issue addressed in this book is the role which may be played by technological innovation not only in determining the internal efficiency of firms and institutions but in determining the combinations of these economic units to form more aggregated levels of analysis .

Secondly, for any particular firm, a Penrosian argument would lead us to suspect that the specificity of the managerial and technical resources in the firm will place some constraint on the range of technical components which it can incorporate into its growth strategies. Thirdly, we can expect that some technologies will offer different economic or growth incentives, regardless of the relative ease or difficulty of the purely technical problems involved in their development.
