Comparing systems approaches to innovation and technological change for sustainable and competitive economies: an explorative study into conceptual commonalities, differences and complementarities (2010, neutral): “discourses, and governing institutions [18].”
Transition policy and innovation policy: Friends or foes? (2011, background): “Innovation is a key process in transitions since transitions require the development and diffusion of a wide range of new technologies, institutions and social practices [1,2].”
Business Models for Sustainable Innovation: State of the Art and Steps Towards a Research Agenda (2013, background): “…contributed to our knowledge of factors that induce sustainable innovations, such as regulation and firm characteristics, and also show the interplay of factors in innovation and societal systems that determine the often complex journey of new ideas into products and services (Geels et al., 2008).”
Regional innovation policies for new path development – beyond neo-liberal and traditional systemic views (2018, background): “The approaches discussed above provide useful hints to the process side of policies that could support the emergence of sustainable industrial paths (Geels, Hekkert, & Jacobsson, 2008).”
A survey of urban climate change experiments in 100 cities (2013, background): “The concept ‘climate change experiment’ (Bulkeley and Castán Broto, 2012) is based on insights from literatures on governance experiments (Hoffman, 2011), the role of niches and grassroots innovations in socio-technical regimes (Geels et al., 2011), and the notion of ‘urban laboratories’ (Evans, 201”
Radical Innovation for Sustainability: The Power of Strategy and Open Innovation (2016, background): “Research suggests that innovations seeking radical improvements in sustainability performance have a number of outstanding issues such as high complexity, uncertainty and insufficient financial returns (Geels et al., 2008; Hall and Wagner, 2012) making them less attractive for investment.”
Bringing Technology into Social-Ecological Systems Research—Motivations for a Socio-Technical-Ecological Systems Approach (2019, background): “A final challenge to highlight from previous literature is that, despite the priority given to policy-oriented analysis, engagement with stakeholders [43,50,94,95], and similarities in governance approaches [6,29,96–99], both fields still struggle to recognize the politics and conflicts inherent to ”
Local niche experimentation in energy transitions: a theoretical and empirical exploration of proximity advantages and disadvantages (2010, background): “” Indeed, a critical challenge that SNM is facing concerns how the process from the initial ‘niche’ to a large-scale transformation can be accelerated (Geels et al., 2008).”
