A framework of disruptive sustainable innovation: an example of the Finnish food system

Anna Kuokkanen, Ville Uusitalo, Katariina Koistinen · 2018 · Technology Analysis and Strategic Management

Summary. This paper develops a framework for understanding disruptive sustainable innovation by combining insights from socio-technical transition research and management literature. Using four Finnish food system companies as case studies, the authors show how disruptive innovation operates across production and consumption practices, involving both producer-entrepreneurs and citizen-consumers. The framework addresses gaps in existing literature by examining business model innovation and user practices alongside technological change.
