“…In the extant literature, external links have often been addressed as blocking or inducement mechanisms (Johnson and Jacobsson, 2001), and they have, thus, been accounted for in relation to the TIS functions.…”

“…This understanding is not only found in the literature on innovation systems (cf. Johnson and Jacobsson, 2001;Malerba, 2002), but also in the concept of socio-technical regimes (cf. Geels, 2004;Kemp et al, 1998;Smith and Raven, 2012).…”

“…Networks and institutions may also act as structural coupling elements (Johnson and Jacobsson, 2001). An example is the feed-in tariff in Germany, which represents a complex compromise of the interests of different renewable energy advocates and broader concerns of political parties, energy sector incumbents and other stakeholders (Lauber and Mez, 2004).…”

“…Scholars have developed the geographical dimension further (e.g. Binz et al, 2014;Coenen et al, 2012;Gosens et al, 2015;Schmidt and Dabur, 2014), studied the parallel development and competition of several technologies (Johnson and Jacobsson, 2001;Sandén and Hillman, 2011;Suurs and Hekkert, 2009a;Wirth and Markard, 2011) and linked TISs to wider policy settings (Kivimaa and Virkamäki, 2014;Markard et al, in press;McDowall et al, 2013). Some have also made a plea to combine the TIS framework with the Multi-Level Perspective to better capture the relationship between technology evolution and sectoral change (Markard and Truffer, 2008;Meelen and Farla, 2013).…”

“…However, since it is a systems approach analysts have from its inception tried to find ways to take into account interactions with other types of systems encompassing or transcending the TIS, such as sectoral and national systems of innovation. Indeed, the 'functions approach' was developed as a methodological tool to handle this complexity by aggregating various influences (of different origins) on the dynamics of a TIS into a set of key processes Jacobsson and Bergek, 2006;Johnson and Jacobsson, 2001). This has allowed for a large number of detailed empirical analyses of how the dynamics of various TISs have been influenced by internal and external pushes and pulls (for reviews, see Bergek, 2012;.…”

This paper addresses interactions between technological innovation systems (TIS) and wider "context structures". While TIS studies have always considered various kinds of contextual influences, we suggest that the TIS framework can be further strengthened by a more elaborated conceptualization of TIS context structures and TIS-context interactions. For that purpose, we identify and discuss four especially important types of context structures: technological, sectoral, geographical and political. For each of these, we provide examples of different ways in which context structures can interact with a focal TIS and how our understanding of TIS dynamics is enhanced by considering them explicitly. Lessons for analysts are given and a research agenda is outlined.

Technological innovation to achieve sustainable development—Renewable energy technologies diffusion in developing countries

There is no dispute about the importance of speeding up the development, spread, and implementation of renewable energy technologies (RETs). RETs are the best means to address the current wasteful and dangerous effects of existing energy systems. In addition to the environmental aspects, the renewable energy industry is an exciting opportunity for investment. Nations that embrace the value of reinforcing renewables infrastructures will achieve competitive advantages in the worldwide marketplace. To accomplish that, however, one needs insight into the elements that make renewable energy development and diffusion move slowly. A variety of reasons causes the slow spread, but we would like to address the barriers from the economic theory perspective. Then, we will scrutinize the specific elements of the developing countries market that make the diffusion move slowly. We believe that by examining the factors that result in market failure and by taking into account the specific characteristics of the renewables industry, especially in developing countries, governments can enable their national infant market to be a competitor in the worldwide marketplace. To study the reason for the slow diffusion of RETs in developing countries, we need to examine the facts through the lens of the innovation system. The innovation ecosystem takes into account the socioeconomic factors that shape the capability for innovation in each specific country. This paper peered a meaningful link between innovation systems and the problem of poverty and inequality through a well‐researched and planned innovation system.
