Fear and loathing of electric vehicles: The reactionary rhetoric of range anxiety (2019, background): “It can further offer greater nuance to other innovation study approaches looking at the functions of innovation systems (44,45), or the sociology of expectation (46– 48), as it emphasizes either the psychological dimensions of emerging niches, which are only rarely investigated, or rhetorical elemen”
Renewable energy technologies in the Maldives - determining the potential (2007, background): “RE advocacy coalitions and awareness of the benefits of utilizing RE by the general public can, for instance, be encouraged by information campaigns and lobbying activities [37].”
Moving innovation systems research to the next level: towards an integrative agenda (2017, positive): “Based on early concepts proposed by Carlsson and Stankiewicz (1991), functions or key activities in innovation systems have been suggested in various forms, most prominently under the heading of technological innovation systems (TIS) (Hekkert et al. , 2007; Bergek et al. , 2008).”
The interplay of institutions, actors and technologies in socio-technical systems — An analysis of transformations in the Australian urban water sector (2016, background): “These key processes include knowledge creation and diffusion, resource mobilization, market formation, legitimation and entrepreneurial experimentation (Bergek et al., 2008; Carlsson and Jacobsson, 2004; Dahmen, 1988; Edquist, 2004; Hekkert et al., 2007; Johnson, 2001).”
Reconceptualising the 'policy mix' for innovation (2011, background): “18 Such accounts are often rather circular: for instance Hekkert et al (2007) assert that a ―well-functioning‖ innovation system will ―probably lead to a climate in which entrepreneurial activities blossom‖ - entrepreneurial activities being one of the functions they identify as being required from…”
Sustainability Transitions Research: Transforming Science and Practice for Societal Change (2017, methodology): “The field of sustainability transitions by now includes several different approaches to understanding and operationalizing transition governance, including strategic niche management (40), reflexive governance (98), transition management (99), and policies for innovation systems (50).”
Dynamics and distribution of public and private research and extension roles for technological innovation and diffusion: Case studies of the implementation and adaptation of precision farming technologies (2017, background): “TIS incorporate the actors and rules influencing the speed and direction of change in a specific technological area (Hekkert et al., 2007).”
Functions of innovation systems as a framework to understand sustainable technological change: empirical evidence for earlier claims (2009, methodology): “Insights in these patterns are the first step towards policy recommendations regarding the governance of this set of TIS [19].”
A coevolutionary framework for analysing a transition to a sustainable low carbon economy (2011, background): “This argues that firms and entrepreneurs innovate largely in response to drivers and barriers coming from the wider innovation system, including networks with other firms and suppliers and policy and regulatory frameworks (Jacobsson and Bergek, 2004; Foxon et al., 2005; Hekkert et al., 2007).”
Modelling the dynamics of technological innovation systems (2016, background): “In the current model, the exact relations between the functions and the TIS structures are black- boxed (which mirrors the approach developed by Hekkert et al., 2007) and are, as such, captured by a ‘cloud’.”
