But, according to an article in this  weeks Economist, this attention may be misplaced. The piece makes a strong argument for the importance of imitation  in business, and its advantages over innovation.

		<description><![CDATA[Complexity scientists have long argued for the use of concepts such as nonlinearity and interconnectednesss to better understand economic phenomena, including growth, market failures and crashes. Ongoing research at the Harvard Center for International Development is taking this area of work forward in very promising ways.

		<description><![CDATA[A new study by William Easterly and colleagues at NYU may be a significant breakthrough for the use of complexity science concepts in international development. In the growing community of complexity thinkers in the aid sector, those with a qualitative mindset have been rather more prominent than those taking a quantitative approach.
