Abstract

The renaissance of non-Occidental cultural spheres recreates the historical normalcy of multi-polarity in engineering innovation. The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of the renaissance of multipolarity and the decline of the Occidental engineering innovation. Multi-polarity is a counterproposal of the implicit assumption of a continued Occidental dominance. This paper explicitly addresses the implicit assumption of continued Occidental dominance in the literature and research. It offers reasons for the reestablishment of multi-polarity. It contains a discussion of the ramifications of multi-polarity on engineering innovation. It assesses the implications of multi-polarity on the environment and health. Firms need to enhance their engineering innovation by a broader cognitive and cultural foundation. For firms, multi-polarity carries the potential of strategically expanding co-evolution and co-creation.
