“…Furthermore, as another confirmation of the findings of Planko et al [44,63], the role of experts, expertise and knowledge is of key importance, resonating with Thornton's institutional order of profession [65]. This may be well understood from a system-building perspective: as Hekkert et al [42] argue, knowledge is essential to provide further guidance to the search process, and thus relating the innovation to knowledgeable actors and sources of knowledge (development) is of key importance.…”

“…Based on innovation system literature, we may add to strategic leadership literature that the ways in which these features matter may be understood by stating that they are part of efforts of system-building, especially regarding legitimacy creation and market formation. In line with the findings of Planko et al [44,63], we have found that joint vision and ambition [T1] are of key importance: they mobilize, both internally and externally, others [R2, T2] by indicating how a wicked problem may be fruitfully solved, and they provide orientation [R3] and legitimacy [R4] to the collective action implied in the systemic innovation. Collaborative/relational processes are important to generate trust or legitimacy [R4].…”

Transformative Leadership and Contextual Change

Abstract:Transitions to deal with the grand challenges of contemporary societies require novel kinds of leadership, which can both stimulate novel organizational practices and changes in practices and structures in the organization's context. This article seeks to understand how (changes in) the external structural context may influence organizational-internal transformative leadership and vice versa, and what kind of work is implied in leadership to transform current business models. It uses notions from literature on relational leadership and transformative leadership as sensitizing concepts. It then explores the leadership work in two case studies, on fishing in Portugal and care farming in the Netherlands. We find a dialectic interplay of the interactions between leaders and others on the one hand, and contextual changes on the other. Using a system-building perspective from innovation system literature, that interaction is driven by the quest to establish legitimacy and market formation and acceptance, knowledge and other resources for innovations.

“…For example, Bergek, Jacobsson, and Sandén (2008) and Markard and Truffer (2008a) underline the importance of managerial perspective in the innovation system and relate literature on innovation systems to literature on business studies and innovation management. Only recently, a first conceptualisation of TIS as strategic management framework was made by Planko et al (2016), who investigated to what extent entrepreneurs recognised the functions of TIS in the development and implementation of their technological innovation. Indeed, the entrepreneurs acknowledged the importance of all functions in their daily work, although the prominence of specific functions varied.…”

“…Indeed, the entrepreneurs acknowledged the importance of all functions in their daily work, although the prominence of specific functions varied. However, Planko et al (2016) only focused on one sector (smart grids), and did not systematically address the interactional processes involved in the functions. To further scrutinise the applicability of TIS in the management domain, these processes should be the starting point, rather than entrepreneurs' recognition of the functions.…”

“…Firstly, TIS is primarily used as an analytical framework to inform policy-making. However, some scholars acknowledge that it might be useful for the management domain as well, as entrepreneurs play a pivotal role in the innovation processes and even might be able to overthrow and change structures around them (Hekkert et al 2007;Planko et al 2016). Secondly, TIS has mostly been used as a top-down approach, but as Markard and Truffer (2008a) have shown, a bottom-up approach from an actor-based perspective provides new and useful insights into the influence of a particular actor group on the innovation system.…”

The functional approach of the Technological Innovation System (TIS) has become important in innovation theory to understand the dynamics of technological innovations. Until now, TIS has mainly been applied topdown from a policy perspective. The aim of this study was to investigate whether TIS can be used in the management domain, from an actororiented perspective, to explain the dynamics in which technological start-ups are involved when developing innovations. We interviewed the founders of 24 technological start-ups about their experiences with the developmental processes of their innovations. Our results highlight that the functions of TIS provide a useful framework to structure the interactions of technological start-ups. Especially the functions 'Resource Mobilisation' and 'Legitimation' appeared to be important functions for start-ups when developing an innovation. Our findings show that TIS is a promising framework for the strategic management domain that can offer guidance in the development of innovations. ARTICLE HISTORY

This paper seeks to determine whether the introduction of technology in the electoral processes can be regarded as a technological innovation system. This is done by analysing and evaluating eVoting systems using data obtained from interviews and reviewing documentation relating to a multicase study of the Namibian and South African context. The study reveals that the adapted scheme of analysis proposed for technological innovation systems can be successfully applied to an eVoting system to obtain insights into the functions of the system, the electoral processes involved, and the process of introducing the innovation (techno-change process). From the analysis, it can be deduced that an eVoting system may be classified as technological innovation system as the researcher was able to analyse, identify, and link the 6 steps of the scheme of analysis to the electoral processes. This analytical process is expected to provide improved insights into the techno-change processes and the electoral processes and enhance adoption of the eVoting system. The findings not only explain how to improve the usability of the electoral system and its efficiency but also help in crafting policies and strategies that can counter the barriers of implementing and adoption of the technology.
