“…Secondly, in the procurement context, a public agency may be considered as a prospective customer with a general preference for more or less innovative products, services or systems. In many cases, the government has been an early and crucial purchaser in technological intensive industries (Dalpé et al, 1992;Slavtchev and Wiederhold, 2011;Mazzucato, 2011). The firm's innovative activity might therefore be crucially influenced by the nature of public demand even if a formal order is yet to come; this is especially true if the public agency is one of the key players in a specific sector such as in the military sector.…”

“…Similarly, although a number of authors emphasise the role of public procurement for technology development and innovation (e.g. Dalpe, De Bresson, and Ciaoping 1992;Cowan and Kline 1996;Edquist, Hommen, and Tsipouri 2000;Edler and Georghiou 2007;Rolfstam 2009) this literature tends to focus on the introduction or diffusion of specific products, technologies or market areas rather than system-wide change. However, the potential to intervene and influence system transformation depends on the agency and power of procuring organisations; a relatively neglected dimension in transitions management.…”

“…La justificación de la necesidad de intervención pública en políticas de articulación de la demanda queda explicada por los fallos sistémi-cos y de mercado que están presentes en la mutua relación de dependencia entre la demanda y la innovación (Dalpé et al, 1992;Edler y Georghiou, 2007;Edler, 2009;Gustafsson y Autio, 2011). Estos fallos se deben a que (i) los primeros usuarios tienen unos mayores costes de entrada, (ii) el mercado no reconoce el potencial de los productos y servicios innovadores, y por tanto no constituye una demanda suficiente para su introducción, (iii) los usuarios se encuentran inmersos en el uso de tecnologías anteriores, por lo que el cambio a nuevas trayectorias tecnológicas requiere de fuertes incentivos, (iv) durante los primeros estadios en la introducción de las innovaciones apenas se observan economías de red debido a la poca cantidad de usuarios, (v) los usuarios no son capaces de enumerar sus necesidades, y (vi) existe una incapacidad para traducir los requerimientos de la demanda en términos de nuevos productos y servicios.…”
