The Local Sources of Market Formation: Explaining Regional Growth Differentials in German Photovoltaic Markets (2012, methodology): “In Table 1, we identify idealtype configurations of market formation processes along the three generic formation phases: the nurturing, bridging and mass market phases (see Jacobsson & Bergek, 2004; Bergek et al., 2008; Dewald & Truffer, 2011).”
Up-scaling, formative phases, and learning in the historical diffusion of energy technologies (2012, background): “During the formative phase, technologies are repeatedly and iteratively tested, modified, refined, and adapted to market demands (Jacobsson and Bergek, 2004).”
Business Models for Sustainable Technologies: Exploring Business Model Evolution in the Case of Electric Vehicles (2014, background): “While the extant literature has particularly focused on the technological and system attributes (Jacobsson and Bergek, 2004), we paid attention to the need for business model innovation to bring emerging sustainable technologies to the market (cf.”
Biofuels for transport in Europe: Lessons from Germany and the UK (2007, background): “If a technology achieves supremacy and establishes a dominant technological system, institutions in society become aligned with it, supporting its development and obstructing that of competing technologies (Jacobsson and Bergek, 2004).”
Evolutionary approaches for sustainable innovation policies: From niche to paradigm? (2009, background): “For dealing with barriers to the innovation trajectory, the integration of elements from the work on technological innovation systems (Jacobsson and Bergek, 2004; Hekkert et al., 2007) may prove useful.”
