• An innovation systems approach to institutional change: Smallholder development in West Africa (2012, background): “…et al. (2004) on differential legacies of colonial history; Obi (2011) on institutional constraints of smallholders; Ngwenya and Hagmann, 2011 on facilitation; and Sumberg (2005), Alene and Coulibaly (2009); and Oluoch-Kosura (2010) on institutional support systems for agricultural research).”
• Shaping agricultural innovation systems responsive to food insecurity and climate change (2011, background): “Meanwhile under-resourced national systems are diverted from local needs and priorities by international collaborative programmes that offer much needed resources (Sumberg 2005).”
• Knowledge Economy Gaps, Policy Syndromes, and Catch-Up Strategies: Fresh South Korean Lessons to Africa (2015, unknown): “2010), research and development (German and Stroud 2007; African Development Bank 2007; Sumberg 2005), intellectual property rights (Zerbe 2005; Lor and Britz 2005; Myburgh”
• Unravelling the role of innovation platforms in supporting co-evolution of innovation: Contributions and tensions in a smallholder dairy development programme (2013, background): “…(AIS) approach has gained currency as a framewor k for understanding bottlenecks and identifying opportunities for enhancing the innovation capacity of agricultural systems, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) (Hounkonnou et al., 2012; Spielman et al., 2009; Sumberg, 2005; World Bank, 2006 ).”
• Strengthening Agricultural Innovation Capacity: Are Innovation Brokers the Answer? (2009, background): “Public agricultural research is one of these players, but its value is as a responsive element of a network or system, rather than in its own right (Sumberg, 2005; Kristjanson et al., 2009).”
• Balancing multiple interests: embedding innovation intermediation in the agricultural knowledge infrastructure (2008, background): “In such innovation configurations or coalitions, agricultural R&D and KIBS are not the dominant providers of knowledge and information, but are amongst many stakeholders (Van Dijk and Van Boekel, 2001; Sumberg, 2005).”
• The politics of seed in Africa's green revolution: Alternative narratives and competing pathways (2011, background): “This requires new thinking on innovation systems and the relationships between key players, linking farmers to other forms of skill and expertise based on new power relations and networks (Scoones and Thompson 2009; Hall 2009; Sumberg 2005).”
• The Role of Knowledge Economy in African Business (2016, background): “2010), research and development (German and Stroud 2007; Sumberg 2005), intellectual capital and economic development (Wagiciengo and Belal 2012; Preece 2013), intellectual property rights (Zerbe 2005; Lor and Britz 2005; Myburgh 2011; Andrés and Asongu 2013a, b; Andrés et al.”
• Beyond knowledge brokering: an exploratory study on innovation intermediaries in an evolving smallholder agricultural system in Kenya (2011, background): “The shift toward an emphasis on agricultural innovation systems in developing countries has also occurred in the context of restructuring agricultural knowledge and information systems, particularly research and extension services (Leeuwis and cf van Den Ban, 2004; Sumberg, 2005).”
