DYNAMICS OF REVERSE SALIENCE AS TECHNOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE GAP: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THE PERSONAL COMPUTERTECHNOLOGY SYSTEM

The evolution of technological systems is hindered by systemic components, referred to as reverse salients, which fail to deliver theonecessary level of technological performance thereby inhibiting the performance delivery of the system as a whole.This paper develops a performance gap measure of rev...

In contrast, the dynamics of the PC game sub-system as a reverse salient trails the GPU sub-system with an ever increasing performance gap throughoutthe timeframe of analysis.
