# Basic Unit Theories for Innovation Understanding
| Level | Process (🧭 How) | Product (🗺️ Why) | Testable Ideas |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Individual** (🧍♀️) | **H1: Resource Use Theory**<br>- Scientists test ideas (Bell_2019 "Who Becomes an Inventor in America?")<br>- Artists find patterns (Shu_2015 "Best and Brightest in Finance?")<br>- Judges assess value (Manso_2016 "Experimentation and Returns to Entrepreneurship") | **H2: Meaning Constructing Theory**<br>- Map how innovation happens (Garcia-Macia_2019 "How Destructive is Innovation?")<br>- Imagine future paths (Akcigit & Kerr_2018 "Growth through Heterogeneous Innovation")<br>- Measure impact (Jones_2020 "Social Returns to Innovation") | - How well do people use resources?<br>- How good are they at spotting patterns?<br>- How accurately do they judge value? |
| **Organization** (🌏) | **H3: Learning Theory**<br>- Track how industries change (Cabral & Mata_2003 "Evolution of Firm Size Distribution")<br>- Monitor market feedback (Jovanovic_1982 "Selection and Evolution of Industry")<br>- Map idea networks (Hellmann & Perotti_2011 "Circulation of Ideas in Firms and Markets") | **H4: Knowledge Synthesis Theory**<br>- Study organization patterns (Hopenhayn_2022 "From Population Growth to Firm Demographics")<br>- Plan for future markets (Nanda & Rhodes-Kropf_2017 "Financing Risk and Innovation")<br>- Evaluate broader impact (Baumol_1990 "Entrepreneurship: Productive, Unproductive, Destructive") | - How fast do organizations learn?<br>- How well do they adapt?<br>- How effectively do they use knowledge? |
1. **Resource Use (H1)**
```
IF scientists test + artists create + judges evaluate
THEN better resource use
WHEN things are complex
```
2. **Meaning Constructing (H2)**
```
IF understand causes + imagine futures + validate meaning
THEN better knowledge integration
WHEN environment is unpredictable
```
3. **Learning (H3)**
```
IF track changes + use feedback + map connections
THEN faster adaptation
WHEN many factors interact
```
4. **Knowledge Synthesis (H4)**
```
IF analyze patterns + plan scenarios + assess impact
THEN better organizational learning
WHEN different levels interact
```
