Title: Doing Institutional Analysis of Innovation Systems


1
Doing Institutional Analysis of Innovation Systems
  • A proposal to structure the debate and
    implications for transition research
  • Harald Rohracher, IFZ, Graz
  • Bernhard Truffer, Jochen Markard, CIRUS/EAWAG

2
Background and argument
  • Focus on technology-specific innovation systems
    (TIS)
  • Development and dynamics of sociotechnical
    systems
  • Interrelation of actors, institutions,
    technologies
  • Structuring institutional analysis
  • middle ground between abstract reference to
    rules and norms and scattered specific
    examples
  • Institutional coupling of TIS with contextual
    innovation systems (sectoral, regional, national)
  • Institutional matches/mismatches as shaping force
    of TIS
  • Dynamic relationship of TIS and sectoral
    innovation system
  • TIS co-dynamics with sector / regime

3
National, sectoral and technological systems of
innovations
4
Levels of institutional analysis
  • 5 levels with decreasing permanence/durability
  • Institutions rules and norms
  • Regulative (public policies, regulatory
    framework)
  • Normative informal value commitments, social
    norms
  • Cultural-cognitive mental frames, paradigms,
    expectations
  • Institutional arrangements
  • Coordination of actors markets, hierarchies and
    networks, the state, associations, communities
  • 2 dimensions power distribution self vs
    community
  • Economic sectors characterised by typical
    configurations of institutional arrangements
  • Mix of institutional arrangements certain
    incoherence in governance structures vs
    diversity/adaptability

5
Levels of institutional analysis contd
  • Institutional sectors
  • Comparable to organizational fields all
    organizations in a society which supply a given
    service or product
  • Examples financial system, research, education,
    business system (industrial relations etc.)
  • Production sectors are also institutional
    sectors and can be analysed at different
    institutional levels
  • Organisations
  • Controversial institutional or actor dimension
    can be stressed
  • Outputs and performance
  • Services, products, court rulings etc.

6
Institutional couplings with TIS





Type of coupling (direction of coupling
Effect on TIS performance / functions
type of institutional fit)
(can affect specific functions only)
Scope for policy / opportunities for change
Sector

specific research, finance etc.
