{{Short description|Model of innovation}}

The '''chain-linked model''' or '''Kline model''' of innovation was introduced by mechanical engineer Stephen J. Kline in 1985,<ref>Kline (1985). Research, Invention, Innovation and Production: Models and Reality, Report INN-1, March 1985, Mechanical Engineering Department, Stanford University.</ref> and further described by Kline and economist [[Nathan Rosenberg]] in 1986.<ref>Kline, S.J. & N. Rosenberg (1986). “An overview of innovation.” In R. Landau & N. Rosenberg (eds.), The Positive Sum Strategy: Harnessing Technology for Economic Growth. Washington, D.C.: National Academy Press, pp. 275–305.</ref> The chain-linked model is an attempt to describe complexities in the [[innovation]] process. The model is regarded as Kline's most significant contribution.<ref>[https://news.stanford.edu/pr/97/971028kline.html Salisbury, David F., "Memorial for Stephen Kline; engineer, interdisciplinary thinker," news release, Stanford University, October 27, 1997.]</ref>

==Applications==

The Kline model was conceived primarily with commercial industrial settings in mind, but has found broad applicability in other settings, for example in military technology development.<ref>Marius Vassiliou, Stan Davis, and Jonathan Agre (2011).
