The concept of technological innovation system: The basic principles and opportunities

Abstract

The need to formulate a new approach to a more effective analysis of the development of technological innovations has led to the creation of a number of concepts. One of them is the concept of technological innovation system (TIS). TIS is a systematic approach for understanding the development, diffusion and use of new technologies. The concept is widely used in the study of technological innovation in developed countries, becoming increasingly popular in developing countries. In Russia, this concept did not receive such wide development as abroad. This paper presents a detailed description of the basic conceptual milestones of TIS, shows the fundamental differences of this concept from other innovative concepts, its advantages and disadvantages. Based on the results of the analysis, it has been concluded that, despite the existing shortcomings, TIS provides a comprehensive analysis of the development of technologies within the framework of existing socio-political, economic and organizational factors. TIS promotes understanding of the mechanism of emergence and growth of new technologies and industries, focusing on the analysis of barriers and driving forces of this process. The results of TIS analysis are traditionally used as a basis for developing policy recommendations.
