Industrial policy for sustainable human development in the post-Covid19 era (2020, unknown): “8 Be it either of markets (Bator, 1958), systems (Smith, 2000) or strategic (Cowling & Tomlinson, 2011) for the supporters of industrial policy, or governments for its opponents (Tullock, 1967; Krueger, 1974).”
INNOVATION POLICIES FOR DEVELOPMENT: TOWARDS A SYSTEMIC EXPERIMENTATION- BASED APPROACH (2009, background): “As opposed to the market-failure model proposed by the neoclassical analysis (Arrow, 1962) scholars in the system of innovation approach, propose to focus on systemic failures ( Smith, 2000, Woolthuis et al, 2005, Chaminade and Edquist, 2006).”
Policies for science, technology and innovation:: Translating rationales into regional policies in a multi-level setting (2008, background): “System failures can, however, take many forms (Smith, 2000), some of them emphasising aspects of connectivity, learning failures, ‘lock-in’ and stalled trajectories of development (Grabher, 1993).”
Institutional complementarity and diversity of social systems of innovation and production (2000, background): “This approach of complementary institutions is roughly that adopted by recent papers that have studied how two institutions or forms of organisation interact to give a coherent outcome: a non-accommodating central bank and centralised wagesetting in Soskice and Iversen [1999], a main-bank-based fina”
The market failure and the systemic failure rationales in technological innovation systems (2013, background): “1 Several authors consider that system ‘imperfections’ (Smith, 2000), ‘dysfunctions’ (Llerena and Matt, 2005), ‘weaknesses’ (Bergek et al, 2010) or systemic ‘problems’ (Chaminade and Edquist, 2010) are more suitable”
Steering innovations towards a green economy : Understanding government intervention (2016, background): “…innovations that may eventually change the system on a broader scale, analyses of politics and the role of government in societal innovations are relatively scarce (as notable exceptions see Borrás and Edquist 2013; Flanagan et al. 2011; Geels, 2014; Loorbach, 2010; Smith, 2000; Voß et al., 2009).”
Handbook of Innovation Systems and Developing Countries: Building Domestic Capabilities in a Global Setting (2011, background): “A systemic problem is broadly defi ned as the inability of the system to support the creation, absorption, retention, use and dissemination of economically useful knowledge through interactive learning or in-house R&D investments (Carlsson and Jacobsson, 1997; Norgren and Hauknes, 1999; Smith, 2000;”
Strengthening Agricultural Innovation Capacity: Are Innovation Brokers the Answer? (2009, background): “…contribute to systemic interaction, hence mitigate innovation system failure (which would provide a rationale for public intervention – see, e.g., Smith, 2000), and have a role as catalysts of innovation; and (3) innovation brokers can more neutrally fulfill the role of facilitator than…”
One size fits all?: Towards a differentiated regional innovation policy approach (2005, background): “From the perspective of the systems of innovation approach additional types of failure have to be taken into account (Lundvall and Borrás 1999, 2003, OECD 1999, Smith 2000, Edquist 2002, Lundvall 2002).”
Analyzing the functional dynamics of technological innovation systems: A scheme of analysis (2008, background): “It is argued repeatedly in the literature (e.g. Malerba, 1996; Metcalfe, 1992, 2004; Smith, 2000) that the approach is ﬂawed and insufﬁ-cient.”
