Innovation, institutions and migration: transfer of technology in Dutch shipbuilding, 500-1700
This paper focuses on innovation in shipbuilding. The central question is by what mechanisms innovation took place. Was new technology locally invented or was it transferred, from the outside, as exogamous knowledge? How did technology transfer work?Two main strands of reasoning will be followed. The tainted concept of migration will be revitalised. In addition, the role of guilds will be analysed. The role of guilds is crucial for understanding the system of the tramping journeyman, implying the sharing of new tacit knowledge. The step-by-step development of shipbuilding technology was stimu... Mehr ...

This paper focuses on innovation in shipbuilding. The central question is by what mechanisms innovation took place. Was new technology locally invented or was it transferred, from the outside, as exogamous knowledge? How did technology transfer work?Two main strands of reasoning will be followed. The tainted concept of migration will be revitalised. In addition, the role of guilds will be analysed. The role of guilds is crucial for understanding the system of the tramping journeyman, implying the sharing of new tacit knowledge. The step-by-step development of shipbuilding technology was stimulated by the guild system of transferring knowledge. ; Cet article s’interroge sur la place de l’innovation dans la construction navale. La question centrale est de savoir par quels mécanismes elle s’effectue. La nouvelle technologie a-t-elle été inventée localement ou provient-elle de l’extérieur ? Et comment ce transfert de technologie fonctionne-t-il ?Deux grandes pistes d’analyse seront invoquées ici : le concept de migration, la plupart du temps considéré d’un point de vue négatif, sera reconsidéré. Par ailleurs, le rôle des guildes sera analysé, puisqu’il est crucial pour comprendre le système du compagnonnage itinérant, qui implique le partage empirique de nouvelles connaissances. Le développement progressif de la technologie dans la construction navale a donc été vraisemblablement stimulé par un transfert des connaissances opéré à l’intérieur même des guildes.
