Abstract
This paper is part of an emerging research agenda that explores gendered attitudes to intrapreneurial behaviour. This is an extremely under-researched area of research which tends to borrow heavily from studies into female self-employment. The paper demonstrates that rather than focus upon female attitudes to risk or lifestyle choices, the primary issue facing potential female intrapreneurs is implicit and explicit gatekeeping by male-dominated "innovation teams".
Abstract
Extant literature has highlighted key national actors that play important roles in both policy-making and fostering innovations and these are the government, industry and academia. Their roles have been well explicated in system theories of innovation like the national innovation system, ‘Triple Helix’ model and ‘Mode 2 Knowledge Production’. However, the current gap between the desired level of global public goods (or in the mitigation of global public bads) and in their actual production leads us to wonder if there is a missing piece of the puzzle. Is there a key national actor that has been ignored in the conventional thinking around innovation and climate change? We think that the missing piece of the puzzle is the role that civil society plays in innovation systems. This editorial introduces a special issue that tackles these questions.
