Abstract

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa was one of the first countries in the world that adopted a Systems of Innovation approach as its policy framework. By adopting this approach, one also inherits the problems, pitfalls, and challenges of a framework. This paper evaluates the Systems of Innovation approach from a theoretical, methodological, and policy perspective. Equipped with this knowledge, researchers can guide their research efforts, whereas policy makers can design more appropriate policy measures fitting and stimulating the functioning and effectiveness of a System of Innovation.
