“…They argue for a broader understanding of innovation that includes social and institutional innovations besides those in technological and business fields (Avelino et al 2019;Moulaert and MacCallum 2019). What is more, they suggest that rather than solely aiming at economic growth, the focus of innovation policy needs to shift towards tackling grand societal challenges and transformative change (Coenen, Hansen, and Rekers 2015;Raven and Walrave 2020). Uyarra, Ribeiro, and Cale-Clough (2019) note that this would reflect a 'normative turn' in innovation policy.…”

“…We contend that the RIS notion requires critical rethinking to provide a useful basis for enhancing the effectiveness of regional innovation policies in solving societal problems. This article draws on a growing body of work on new concepts such as mission-oriented (Mazzucato 2018), challenge-oriented (Raven and Walrave 2020) and transformative innovation policies (Schot and Steinmueller 2018;Diercks, Larsen, and Steward 2019) to address the question how the RIS approach and regional innovation policies could be reoriented to today's grand societal challenges.…”

The regional innovation system (RIS) approach has become a widely used framework for examining the dynamics of innovation across space and for crafting policies to promote the innovation capacity of regions. The dominant focus has been on technological and business innovation enhancing competitiveness and economic growth. In light of persistent environmental and social challenges such as climate change, aging and growing inequalities, this understanding appears to be too narrow. We argue that the RIS approach requires a critical reassessment for informing the next generation of regional innovation policies. We explore how RIS scholarship and policies could benefit from an alternative understanding of the innovation process. Inspired by recent work on mission-oriented and transformative innovation policies, we develop the notion of 'challenge-oriented RISs' (CoRISs). In contrast to conventional understandings of RISs, this approach embraces a more critical view of innovation, captures the directionality of change, opens up to new innovation actors at different territorial scales and pays more attention to the application side and upscaling of innovation within the region and beyond. Acknowledging that regions vary in their capacity for transformative change and challenge-oriented innovation, the article outlines new directions for place-based innovation policies.

“…Research results have contributions to previous literatures from two aspects. Firstly, this paper carries research on the relationship between policy intervention and innovation ecosystem transformation [8] further. Existing researches pay close attention to the way to get rid of innovation ecosystem transformation failures with technological policies.…”

“…Meanwhile, researches on innovation ecosystem transformation failures also received attention from academia in recent years [7], particularly the way to avoid transformation failure through effective policy means [8]. However, among such researches, the transformation of innovation ecosystem was neither placed under more scenario-based discussions nor specific to digital transformation.…”

The digital transformation of the innovation ecosystem is not only an inevitable direction of innovation activities in the era of digital economy but also a highly complex and uncertain process. The way to facilitate transformation with policies has become a topic of common concern of academia and policymakers. This paper builds a multiagent model and studies the impacts of supply-side policies, demand-side policies, and environmental policies on enterprises’ transformation willingness, digital level, and income level as well as the proportion of enterprises that carry out transformation in the whole innovation ecosystem and innovation network structure by numerical experiments. According to research findings, supply-side policies play the biggest role in the facilitation of transformation, demand-side policies are second important to them, and environmental policies have comparatively weak impacts.

“…Diffusion of innovation theory by Rogers (Rogers, 2003) is talking about the communication process, as diffusion is concerned with process channels through which innovation communicated at the workplace through team members; on the other side, innovation is concerned with the novel, new and unique idea by an individual (Carreiro & Oliveira, 2019;Zhou et al, 2019). Diffusion of innovation theory contributed in several diverse areas, i.e., marketing, innovation, and public health (Raven & Walrave, 2020;Rogers, 2004), to facilitate leadership to realize the appropriate procedures for crafted novel ideas smoothly. Based on this notion, we argue that absorptive capacity in the presence of positive leadership enhances the innovation level of firms, as potential and realized absorptive capacity enables firms to generate new products and services through interpretation of new and current knowledge.…”

This study contends explicitly that leadership styles (transformational and transactional) are positioned as a pylon for firms’ innovation performance. Further, this study contemplates the intermediating inspiration of absorptive capacity (potential and realized) linking leadership styles (transformational and transactional) and firms’ innovation. Data was collected from 301 permanent employees working in Pakistani manufacturing firms (food and tobacco) through the self-administered questionnaires to test the proposed hypothesis of this study. The study's findings demonstrate a positive influence of leadership styles (transformational and transactional) on the firm's innovative performance. Moreover, both absorptive capacity dimensions (potential and realized) mediate the relationship between leadership styles (transformational and transactional) and innovative performance. This study demonstrates that both leadership styles (transformational and transactional)provide phenomenal path routes to augment firms’ innovation. Overall, this study contributed a legitimate illustration of leadership styles strengthening firms’ innovation, specifically transactional leadership style, encouraging results within the developing economy perspective.
