The technological innovation systems framework: Response to six criticisms (2015, background): “6 Typical for national and sectoral innovation systems and technological systems, the predecessor of the TIS concept. technologies perspective, scholars are interested in how systems build up structure and expand (Musiolik and Markard, 2011; Suurs and Hekkert, 2009).”
The role of transnational dimensions in emerging economy 'Technological Innovation Systems' for clean-tech (2015, background): “Processes occurring at the transnational or global level have been recognized, but considered largely exogenous to the system (e.g., Suurs and Hekkert, 2009).”
Public-private partnerships as systemic agricultural innovation policy instruments – Assessing their contribution to innovation system function dynamics (2019, methodology): “Function name and description Types of events, policy instruments and interventions F1 Entrepreneurial activities: • Participation in innovation projects • Investments in new technology F2 Knowledge development: • Scientific research projects • Scientific papers published • Technical reports • Paten”
Demand-pull and technology-push public support for eco-innovation: The case of the biofuels sector (2015, background): “This issue appears to be of particular relevance when analyzing the biofuels sector due to its technological cross-cutting nature since technologies which could be ascribed to this field are heterogeneously diffused throughout a large range of sectors (Suurs and Hekkert, 2009a, 2009b).”
Networks and network resources in technological innovation systems: Towards a conceptual framework for system building (2012, background): “Through these feed-backs, cumulative effects may be triggered which are crucial for the dynamics we observe in many technological fields [82].”
Creative Destruction or Mere Niche Creation? Innovation Policy Mixes for Sustainability Transitions (2016, positive): “Whereas the discussion on the synergies and contradictions (cf. Nilsson et al., 2012; Rogge and Reichardt, 2013) or cumulative causation (cf. Suurs and Hekkert, 2009) between the elements of this framework cannot be addressed here in detail, some observations on the links between creative and…”
Compulsive policy-making—The evolution of the German feed-in tariff system for solar photovoltaic power (2014, background): “Positive nterdependencies have been empirically demonstrated in sevral case studies (e.g., Suurs and Hekkert, 2009).”
Moving innovation systems research to the next level: towards an integrative agenda (2017, neutral): “…was already introduced by Edquist (1997) as a means to harmonize different IS concepts in a more rigorous way, the recently introduced concepts of ‘cumulative causation’ and ‘motors of innovation’ aim in particular at analysing the dynamics of IS beyond mere description (Suurs and Hekkert, 2009).”
Market Formation in Technological Innovation Systems—Diffusion of Photovoltaic Applications in Germany (2011, background): “…like knowledge development and diffusion, entrepreneurial experimentation, influence on the direction of search, market formation, development of positive external economies, building up legitimacy and resource mobilization (Hekkert et al., 2007; Bergek et al., 2008; Suurs and Hekkert, 2009).”
Theoretical Framework for the Carbon Emissions Effects of Technological Progress and Renewable Energy Consumption (2021, background): “Moreover, it is common sense that technological innovations are important for the development of the social-economic and energy systems and pollution mitigation of the nations ( Negro & Hekkert, 2008; Suurs & Hekkert, 2009).”
Understanding the protein transition: The rise of plant-based meat substitutes (2020, methodology): “Since the market had been triggered by normative ad cognitive legitimacy, politics remained important, which is in contrast to Suurs (2009), who argue that legitimacy and political activities lose their importance with the emergence of the market motor.”
