What I Hope to get out of these Sessions
A better understanding of innovation systems and
appropriate application A stronger set of
analytical tools for system indicators, proxy
indicators and other methods of quantifying my
analysis of innovation systems. Feedback on my
work to date and an opportunity to study other
research undertaken using an innovation systems
approach
3
Background
4
My Research to Date...
5
Step 1 Find an Innovation System...
Large Technological Systems (Bijker, Hughes)
Regional/Sectoral Innovation Systems/ Industrial
Development Blocks/ (Cooke, Marshall)
Technical Innovation Systems (Carlsson, Bergek,
Jacobsson, Dosi)
Socio Technical Systems of Innovation (Geels,
Smith)
Diamond of Competitive Advantage / Clusters
(Porter)
National Innovation Systems (Freeman, Lundvall,
Nelson)
6
Evaluate Innovation Systems
7
My Choice of Innovation System...
Technological Innovation Systems (Bergek,
Jacobsson, Carlsson, 2008)
  • Reasons
  • Technology Relevance, (Object Oriented, Not
    System)
  • Not Market Focussed (Good for Preliminary Work on
    Start-Up Sector)
  • Good Focus on Knowledge Diffusion
  • Applicable, Functional Perscriptive
  • Acknowledged Flaws
  • Missing Market Pull
  • Missing Social Regimes Thus Depth of
    Legitimacy
  • (Lacks Focus on Factor Conditions (Porter,
    1990) or Outside the Systems Box Elements)

Step 2 Investigate Other Theory
Renewable IS Case Studies (Karnøe, Winskel,
Johnson) UK Energy Policy/Innovation (Foxon,
Smith, Hall, Mitchell, Lund, Grubb) Entrepreneuria
l Theory (Desroches, Low, Schumpeter) Economic
Theory (Krugman, Porter, Freeman)
10
Step 3 Investigate WEC-Sec
WEC TIS
11
Step 4 Transpose Real World to System Model...
12
Assessing the Functional Pattern(A Work in
Progress...)
Some Functions Missing System Legitimacy,
Articulation of Demand, Fiscal Resource
Mobilization, Specific Technology Developments
(Maintenance Strategies etc...) Political
Leadership etc.. Some Actors Missing OFTO,
Financiers, Large Actors Some Networks
Missing Customer Associations, Academic/Industry
Cross Communication Some Institutions
Missing Marine SEAs, Ofgem Specifics (Embedded
Transmission Codes)
13
Other (Overarching?) Blocking Mechanisms...Lac
k of Chronological Flow to Sector Development,
(i.e. Funding Regime Throughout Stages of
Technology Maturity)Lack of Cohesive Goals
Communication (Between Policy Makers)Lack of
Regulatory Establishment or Priority
Overall Lack of Vision, Commitment Leadership
14
The Question
What is needed to both overcome the prevailing
issues and realize the potential for this
sector? How can this be delivered and can it be
done within the existing framework?
15
PANIC!!!
16
Things I Have Considered...Higher levels of
communication between policy makers (coordinating
objectives)Try to increase cognitive/legislative
legitimacy of technology (through test centre
(EMEC) certification/standardisation, publication
of performance criteria etc...)Establish Round
1 style test sites, (as with UK offshore
wind)Increase communication between researchers
and between researchers and industry.Investigate
system from another models perspective!
