The need for complementary approaches
Fred Steward
![Page 2: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
A broad & inclusive concept of transition
A systemic view of innovation in terms of a diversity of actors and the embrace of both social and technological change
A definition of technology in relation to some definition of societal use or ‘function’
A concept of significant change in the sense of a clearly defined shift from one state to a new state
Sustainability goals

Alternative theorisations of the dynamics of transition
Multilevel perspective regime & niche Technology innovation system new technology system
Share an evolutionary framework And others?

Inviting wider participation Two strands in science, technology
& innovation studies that are underrepresented
Actor networks – Latour ‘flat network’ associational approach
Innovation management – interactional agency based strategies
![Page 6: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Situating technology systems 1 The Freeman legacy - New technology
systems 1982 - unemployment & technical innovation
Alternative theory to socially induced clusters of innovation (Mensch)
Role of scientific discovery Technical & social constellations Natural technology trajectories –
mechanisation, electrification, automation
![Page 7: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Situating technology systems 2
Freeman & Perez 1988
Incremental Radical Technology System – pervasive across
sectors, radical/incremental technology + organisational/managerial
Techno-economic paradigm
![Page 8: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Applicability to sustainability transitions
1996 Greening of technology - Freeman
problems with…systemic model of innovation
world wide transition to a "green technoeconomic paradigm“
Learning from the linear model
![Page 9: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Limits to a technology focus
The current policy context
Generic technologies
![Page 10: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Tony Blair - November 2004
‘we need a green technological revolution’
![Page 11: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
George Bush – 20 April 2006
the technological revolution that we're pushing hard… so that we can be good stewards of the environment.

Wen Jiabao October 2005
A global revolution in science and technology…
Building an environment friendly society & sustainable development
![Page 13: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The new revolutionary technological determinism
Emerging bio & nano technologies will deliver radical sustainability
Key policy issue is research investment in new emerging technologies
The knowledge economy/ sustainable society virtuous circle
Relies on technology push model
![Page 14: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ecological modernisation Emerging
technologies are more sustainable
Upstream support is main policy concern
Consumption downplayed
![Page 15: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
An alternative innovation focus
The sociotechnical Production and consumption
Reflexive action vs system design
![Page 16: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Actor orientation
Reflexive action vs system design
Heterogeneous engineer, system builder, path creator
Innovative entrepreneur, innovation journey
![Page 17: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Organisational actors in transitions
Niche actors (Kemp, Geels)
Path creators (Garud & Karnoe)
Disruptive innovators (Christensen)
![Page 18: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Business research on organisation & strategy
Beyond the ‘iron cage’ or ‘rational actor’
Strategic choice (Child) Emergent strategy (Mintzberg) Sensemaking (Weick) Communities of practice (Wenger)
![Page 19: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Innovation & the business organisation
Intersection of:
Organisation studies – Burns & Stalker, Lawrence & Lorsch - focus on firm, organic structure
Science & technology studies - Freeman, Marquis – focus on innovation, the interactive model
![Page 20: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The new interactionism
Paradox & dilemma – Peters, Kanter
Networks – Allen, Granovetter
Construction & association – Pinch, Latour
The power of communicative action
![Page 21: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Embracing cognitive diversity Combining different cognitive perspectives
Prefigured path (life cycle) Purposeful enactment (teleology) Conflict and synthesis (dialectics) Competitive selection (evolution)
Van de Ven

The ambidextrous organisation
Tushman, Leonard Barton, Christensen
The innovator’s dilemma Exploitation vs exploration Continuity vs change Capabilities vs rigidities
![Page 23: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Networks – relational capabilities
Network as general process Strong & weak ties Homophily & heterophily Boundary spanners & gatekeepers Network builders
![Page 24: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The power of discourse
Storylines, narratives, arguments
Explain strategic choice within firms and their capacity to shape futures
![Page 25: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Emerging innovation networks
Techno vs eco focus
Incumbents & emergents Different consequences for variety
generation No natural trajectories of
dematerialisation, decarbonisation
![Page 26: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

![Page 27: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A situated emergent network approach Focus on sustainability claims for
specific innovations within emerging generic technologies
Capture innovations emerging in the market and identify commercial performance claims
Map the emerging sociotechnical network and its dynamics
Use results for reflexive engagement
![Page 28: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Nanoparticle network
![Page 29: The need for complementary approaches Fred Steward.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649cbe5503460f94984054/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Results It seems possible to capture early
emergent networks by following the actors
Focus is defined by actors and varies in emphasis on technology and ecology
Variety generation gives different emphasis to sustainability
Influence through key actors
