Systems of Innovation BY CHARLES EDQUIST LEAD PAPER PRESENTED AT THE DRUID CONFERENCE, AALBORG, JUNE 12-15, 2001, UNDER THEME F: ‘NATIONAL SYSTEMS OF INNOVATION, INSTITUTIONS AND PUBLIC POLICIES’
What is SI? System of innovation All important economic, social, political, organizational, and other factors that influence the development, diffusion, and use of innovations. (Edquist 1997: 14) SI approach is about the: Determinants of innovations Not about their consequences (in terms of growth, quantity of employment, working conditions, etc.) Identify all those important determining factors – which can also be called activities in SIs or functions of SIs
Development of the theory Lundvall provided theoretical foundations in alternative to neo-classical economics tradition to describing technology as exogenous factor. His Emphasis was on: Interactive learning User-producer interaction with innovation at the centre of analysis. Lundvall (1992) argues that the ‘structure production’ and ‘institutional set up’ are the two most important dimensions that jointly define “Innovation System”. Nelson-Rosenberg singled out organizations supporting R&D. They emphasize those organizations that promote the creation and dissemination of knowledge as main source of innovation. Lundvall’s broader approach recognizes narrow R&D organizations are embedded in a much wider socio-economic system in which political and cultural influences-economic policies determine the scale, direction and relative success of all innovative activities.
