Technological Innovation Systems and the wider context: A framework for developing countries

Hans-Erik Edsand #2016-017 PDF

The Technological Innovation System (TIS) framework is a systems
approach for understanding the adoption and impact of technologies. This
paper addresses limitations of the TIS functions approach by
complementing its list of functions. As a result the breadth of
application of the framework in developed countries is augmented, and
made more applicable to the developing country context. In order to
analyse the context in which the TIS operates, framework conditions are
added to the TIS function approach, drawn from Multi-Level Perspective
(MLP) literature.
