System-level agency and its many shades: path development in a multidimensional innovation system
批判性地审视了路径发展文献中系统层面能动性的概念，指出其与其他层面能动性的区分不清、与相关概念联系不足等问题，并提出了一个多层次能动性概念化的研究议程。
In the path development literature, how agents shape innovation systems has attracted growing interest. However, the concept of such system-level agency suffers from an unclear distinction from other levels of agency, underdeveloped links to other agency concepts, vagueness about the conceptualization of a multidimensional innovation system and the impact of agency on it, and a limited understanding of the variegated outcomes of agentic processes. This article offers a sympathetic critique, suggests ideas for a nuanced multilevel agency conceptualization, and proposes a research agenda to close the gaps in understanding how system-level agency affects the course and outcomes of path development.
