Systems of innovation perspectives and challenges
TLDR
In this paper, the authors have formulated the functions, constituents, activities, factors and boundaries of the system of innovation for better policy formulation and application in practice, by assessing closely the existing work on systems of innovation and by going beyond the current literature.Abstract:
The national system of innovation approach has attracted both academics and policy makers. There has been different emphasis laid by those who both originated the concept and developed it further for policy learning applications. From the firm level to the global innovation networks, the varieties and differences in system of innovation functions, activities and factors continue to attract debate amongst the leading scholars. The main challenge is to translate the system of innovation from a conceptual framework to theory that feeds a concrete practice. By assessing closely the existing work on systems of innovation and by going beyond the current literature, I have formulated the functions, constituents, activities, factors and boundaries that the system of innovation provides for better policy formulation and application in practice.read more

Innovation studies and sustainability transitions: the allure of the multi-level perspective and its challenges
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider how the history of innovation studies for sustainable development can be explained as a process of linking broader analytical frameworks to successively larger problem framings, and introduce an emerging framework whose allure rests in its ability to capture the bigger picture: the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions.
