Functions of innovation systems: A new approach for analysing technological change
TLDR
It is described that the emergence of a new innovation system and changes in existing innovation systems co-evolve with the process of technological change, and a method for systematically mapping those processes taking place in innovation systems and resulting in technological change is proposed.About:

The multi-level perspective on sustainability transitions: Responses to seven criticisms
TL;DR: The multi-level perspective (MLP) has emerged as a fruitful middle-range framework for analysing socio-technical transitions to sustainability as discussed by the authors. But the MLP also received constructive criticisms.

Business Models for Sustainable Innovation: State of the Art and Steps Towards a Research Agenda
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current literature on business models in the contexts of technological, organizational, and social sustainability innovations and propose examples of normative 'boundary conditions' that business models should meet in order to support sustainable innovations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Innovation studies and sustainability transitions: the allure of the multi-level perspective and its challenges
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider how the history of innovation studies for sustainable development can be explained as a process of linking broader analytical frameworks to successively larger problem framings, and introduce an emerging framework whose allure rests in its ability to capture the bigger picture: the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions.

R&D portfolios in environmentally friendly automotive propulsion: Variety, competition and policy implications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze R&D portfolios in environmentally friendly automotive propulsion including alternative fuel options and argue that substitution of conventional car technology by a new automotive propulsion technology may lead to premature lock-in of suboptimal technology.
