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

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.
