“…The system functions developed to study TIS (Bergek et al, 2008;Hekkert et al, 2007) define a set of 'key innovation activities' that result from the structural system components identified in Step 2. The system functions are generic enough to also apply to innovation systems characterized by a sector (Wesseling & Van der Vooren, 2017), by a societal problem (Ghazinoory et al, 2020), by sustainability transition pathways (Haddad & Bergek, 2020), or as we show here, by a mission. As described previously, applying the system functions approach from TIS to MIS should address several MIPspecific challenges.…”

“…Different authors have argued that existing innovation systems and transition frameworks are currently insufficiently equipped to understand and systematically assess the impact of transformative mission policies and governance actions (Ghazinoory et al, 2020;Haddad & Bergek, 2020;, due to the above-mentioned challenges. Consequently, in the following sections we will develop the MIS approach in a way that deals with these challenges.…”

“…Other adaptations of the structural-functional approach have been undertaken by Ghazinoory et al (2020), in their concept of a 'Problem-oriented Innovation System' (PIS), and by Haddad and Bergek (2020), in their assessment of transformative innovation policy at the sectoral level. The main difference between the MIS and Ghazinoory et al's (2020) PIS perspective is that by focusing on a societal problem, the PIS delineation becomes very diffuse. Several actors may support innovative solutions to a societal problem, making them part of the same PIS, but these actors may not share many other structural system components.…”

“…Although promising, missions remain understudied in practice, and a deeper understanding is needed of the innovation dynamics produced by missions and supportive governance actions, so that more effective policy and governance interventions can be designed (Janssen et al, 2021). Systems perspectives are valuable in achieving this comprehensive level of understanding, but various authors argue that none of the current innovation systems and transition frameworks are sufficiently equipped to understand and systematically assess the impact of missions (Ghazinoory et al, 2020;Haddad & Bergek, 2020;Hekkert et al, 2020). This is why Hekkert et al (2020) call for a new perspective, the Mission-oriented Innovation System (MIS).…”

Building on the literature on Mission-oriented Innovation Policy, governance, transition studies and innovation systems, this paper develops an initial approach to studying the Mission-oriented Innovation System (MIS). Central to the MIS is the concept of a mission arena, in which actors formulate and govern the mission as well as mobilize and direct other, existing system components, in order to legitimize, develop, diffuse and adopt innovative mission solutions. The MIS approach involves a problem-solutions diagnosis and an analysis of structural, functional, and systemic barriers. To provide formative mission governance recommendations, the systemic barriers are contrasted with the mission governance actions that the arena undertakes to mobilize the MIS. A case study of the Dutch mission for sustainable shipping illustrates the value of the MIS approach.

“…As forças motrizes para a inovação social podem vir de um sistema de inovação. Entretanto, é importante ressaltar que um sistema de inovação deve se concentrar na solução de problemas de um modo mais abrangente, em que seja preciso uma combinação de inovações técnicas que ataquem os aspectos tecnológicos do problema e inovações sociais que deem enfoque aos aspectos sociais do mesmo problema (GHAZINOORY et al, 2020).…”

O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir as aproximações teóricas entre construtos na adoção de uma perspectiva empreendedora com foco em inovação social. Há um posicionamento comum entre pesquisadores de que quando se descreve o empreendedorismo social (ES) e a inovação social (IS) muitos consideram estes termos sinônimos (HULGÅRD, FERRARINI, 2010), entretanto neste artigo, eles serão tratados como aspectos distintos de uma ação maior para um bem comum. Os procedimentos metodológicos seguiram para uma revisão sistemática qualitativa utilizando a análise de conteúdo para extrair temas dos textos que tratam tanto de inovação social como empreendedorismo social. Dentre os aspectos que encontramos como maiores aproximações entre ES e IS são em suma que: a) A IS precisa de um meio social para se concretizar, assim como a ES; b) Alguns tipos de ES podem gerar IS; c) O surgimento de ES e IS independem de setores específicos; d) ES e IS trazem mudanças nas práticas sociais; e e) Tipos de ES e IS podem conviver conjuntamente em um ambiente de rede. Concluiu-se que com a inovação social sendo também causada pelo empreendedorismo algumas implicações podem ser observadas quando se trata da gestão social (TENÓRIO, 2008), principalmente no que concerne a participação social nas mudanças mais sistêmicas. Recomenda-se que nos estudos de ES e IS estejam manifestadas em seus textos quais são os paradigmas que estão sendo alicerçados, assim como posições filosóficas ou alegações do conhecimento de forma que seja possível o delineamento de um caminho epistemológico mais claro.

As climate change risks intensify, the role of entrepreneurial activities in addressing these challenges and promoting sustainable development becomes increasingly vital. Through a systematic literature review using a bibliometric analysis of 387 studies from Scopus up to December 31, 2023, this study focuses on the intersection of entrepreneurship and climate change. It contributes to academic understanding by offering insights into current trends for entrepreneurs, researchers, and policymakers. Our analysis examines publication trends, leading authors, countries/regions, and common themes to elucidate research efforts on entrepreneurial activities in the context of climate change. Contrary to typical trends in the geographical distribution, the study identifies a significant increase in contributions from developing countries such as China, India, and the Russian Federation. Furthermore, when evaluating entrepreneurship in the context of climate change, we observe a prominence of innovation and sustainability‐focused approaches. The primary finding of the study is the literature's attribution of significant responsibility to entrepreneurship in combating climate change and its consideration of entrepreneurship as a prerequisite for sustainable approaches. By demonstrating a sustainable attitude, entrepreneurs can contribute to the fight against climate change across various domains, ranging from policy to social life, and from collective efforts in the economy to individual endeavors.
