Organizing transformative innovation: Advancing an organizational research agenda within Transformative Innovation Policy
回顾组织理论中关于变革性创新的研究，指出其能填补变革性创新政策的关键空白，并建议加强两者交叉以提升理论深度和实践效果。
In a world increasingly shaped by geopolitical divides, technological disruption, and the climate crisis, Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP) is more essential than ever. However, the TIP research field holds considerable potential to move beyond its current state of the art by incorporating a more sophisticated organizational perspective. This paper responds to a recent call for new analytical tools in TIP by proposing that valuable insights can be drawn from Organization Theory (OT) scholarship. By reviewing and categorizing recent OT research on transformative innovation, we show how engagement with this literature can yield novel insights within key TIP gap areas and beyond. In particular, recent OT work on emotions, social movements, and temporality offers promising opportunities to deepen TIP's understanding of capabilities, experimentation, and the systemic impact of policy interventions. More broadly, this paper contributes to TIP debates by advocating for stronger cross-pollination with OT to enhance the field's theoretical foundation and practical relevance. We conclude that closer interaction between OT and TIP can enable more effective approaches to transformative innovation. • We review Organizational Theory (OT) with a focus on transformative innovation. • We show how OT can address key gaps in Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP). • We identify new policy implications for TIP through engagement with OT. • We propose an organizational research agenda for Transformative Innovation Policy. • We argue for greater cross-pollination between OT and TIP.
