Abstract

Innovation is increasingly being considered crucial to deal effectively with the negative side effects associated with economic growth. Influencing the direction of innovation towards more sustainable paths is high on many political agendas. Issues like global warming, the security of energy supply, local air pollution, and the negative social effects of economic growth have strongly contributed to these insights.

Footnotes
1
We use technological change and socio-technical change interchangeably. Technological change always co-evolves with changes in the social system.
 
2
Edquist (2001) is strongly in favour of making this connection since it might make the innovation system framework clearer and more consistent, to serve as a basis for generating hypotheses about specific variables within innovation systems.
