New articles on Technological Innovation Systems
The recent issue of Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions features one article and four viewpoints on conceptual advancements of the technological innovation systems (TIS) framework. Researchers at SusTec have contributed to three of these.
The paper Technological innovation systems in contexts by external pageBergek et al. introduces several approaches of how to conceptualize TIS context. The viewpoint by external pageBening et al. challenges implicit normative assumptions and vague policy recommendations in many TIS studies. Two further viewpoints criticize that TIS studies do not pay sufficient attention to politics (external pageKern) and to spatial aspects (external pageCoenen). external pageMarkard et al. finally respond to these criticisms and make suggestions of how future studies can address them and improve the TIS framework.
