Innovation in the Spaces In‐Between: Creating the Nexus Between Human and Non‐Human Actors in Systemic Innovations

ABSTRACT By combining theories of system thinking with a post‐humanist approach, we established a nexus between human and non‐human systems in the examination of systemic innovation. By doing so, we shed light on the interdependencies that exist between human and non‐human systems and contribute theoretically as well as methodologically to theories on systems thinking by developing a framework for analysing systemic innovations focusing on the transition towards a more sustainable society. The identification of these interdependencies is particularly relevant to the discussions about systemic innovation and its role in the transformation towards a more sustainable society.

Abstract

ABSTRACT By combining theories of system thinking with a post‐humanist approach, we established a nexus between human and non‐human systems in the examination of systemic innovation. By doing so, we shed light on the interdependencies that exist between human and non‐human systems and contribute theoretically as well as methodologically to theories on systems thinking by developing a framework for analysing systemic innovations focusing on the transition towards a more sustainable society. The identification of these interdependencies is particularly relevant to the discussions about systemic innovation and its role in the transformation towards a more sustainable society.
