Desperately seeking niches: Grassroots innovations and niche development in the community currency field (2013, background): “There has been some work on market-based ‘niche accumulation’ where a new technology establishes itself by gaining a foothold in a number of niche markets (Raven, 2007).”
Beyond technology and finance: pay-as-you-go sustainable energy access and theories of social change (2015, background): “…technical principles, but also if their form and function are ‘aligned’ or ‘fit’ with dominant social practices, or offer opportunities to realise new practices (or ‘stretch’ existing socio-technical practices) that are attractive in particular social and geographical settings (Raven, 2007).”
From laggard to leader: Explaining offshore wind developments in the UK (2014, methodology): “2 Nurturing,,shielding,and,empowering,as,processes,of,socio? technical,configuring, Smith and Raven (2012) propose a framework for analysing ‘protective space’ which suggests productive niches require three processes: nurturing, shielding and empowering.”
How should barriers to alternative fuels and vehicles be classified and potential policies to promote innovative technologies be evaluated (2012, background): “…44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 29 Strategic niche management can be used to create pilot and demonstration programmes where innovative technologies and concepts are tested in order to learn about their positive attributes and allow for wider diffusion (Raven, 2007).”
A multi-level perspective on innovation ecosystems for path-breaking innovation (2017, unknown): “In practice, however, the ecosystem can be embedded in multiple (emerging) niches existing and evolving simultaneously (Levinthal, 1998; Raven, 2007).”
Sustainability Transitions Research: Transforming Science and Practice for Societal Change (2017, background): “On the basis of several empirical case studies, different transition pathways have been conceptualized (40), as have the evolution of niches and how they can be understood (44, 45).”
Navigators through the storm: A review of organization theories and the behavior of incumbent firms during transitions (2017, background): “Fluctuations emerge, which opens a “window of opportunity” for invading innovations and the regimes associated with them to enter the system, which can result in a transition—a shift from one socio-technical regime to another (Geels, 2004a,b; Rip and Kemp, 1998).”
Challenges and trade-offs in corporate innovation for climate change (2010, unknown): “However, fuel cell technology has still not managed to leave niche markets (Raven, 2007).”
