摘要

根据多层次视角(MLP),生态位在促进创新和促进社会技术转型方面发挥着不同的作用。本研究探讨了企业家如何通过推销(宣传新兴创新的好处以获得监管支持)与监管机构进行战略接触,以及这一过程如何在社会技术转型中塑造利基角色,特别是在能源部门。通过将投球定位为监管相互作用的关键机制,我们扩展了MLP,以更好地解释监管不确定性如何影响创新轨迹。关注可再生能源转型的治理,我们的概念框架研究了投球如何减轻监管不确定性并影响政策适应和制度变革。以以色列的风能开发为例,我们说明了投球如何影响利基机制动力学和新兴技术的稳定性。我们的框架表明,推销不仅能确保监管部门的批准,还能塑造长期的监管环境,影响创新的传播和向可持续能源系统的更广泛过渡。通过将向监管机构推销作为MLP中一个关键但未被充分探索的动态,本研究有助于更深入地了解社会技术转型中创新、监管和政策适应的共同演变,特别是在能源部门。

Shaping niche innovations in energy transitions: The role of pitching to regulators
According to the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP), niches play various roles in promoting innovation and facilitating socio-technical transitions. This study explores how entrepreneurs strategically engage with regulators through pitching—communicating the benefits of emerging innovations to secure regulatory support—and how this process shapes niche roles within socio-technical transitions, specifically in the energy sector. By positioning pitching as a key mechanism in regulatory interactions, we extend the MLP to better account for how regulatory uncertainties shape innovation trajectories. Focusing on the governance of renewable energy transitions, our conceptual framework examines how pitching mitigates regulatory uncertainties and influences policy adaptation and institutional change. Using the case of wind energy development in Israel we illustrate how pitching affects niche-regime dynamics and the stabilization of emerging technologies. Our framework suggests that pitching not only secures regulatory approval but also shapes long-term regulatory environments, affecting the diffusion of innovations and the broader transition to sustainable energy systems. By introducing pitching to regulators as a critical but underexplored dynamic within the MLP, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the co-evolution of innovation, regulation, and policy adaptation in socio-technical transitions, specifically in the energy sector.

期刊介绍: Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is relevant for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers. Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum to discuss how social and technical issues related to energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involves the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis, therefore, needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.
