Abstract

In this paper, we adopt a sociotechnical systems perspective and relying on six published cases of sustainable grassroots innovation (SGI) implementations worldwide, we develop a conceptual framework for analysing the dynamics (in both micro- and macro-level settings) of individual SGI initiatives. From the framework, indicatively, we select the attribute of (origin of) technological innovation, and we present trends in SGI trajectories with respect to the adoption of an established environmental technology, the development of an eco-innovation ‘in-situ’, and the infusion of novel technologies developed externally in order to fulfil specific SGI needs.
