Abstract

Abstract: This research investigated the System Innovation (SI) approach that has been adopted by the world's main governments to guide the radical transformation of systems that fulfill vital social functions, currently perceived as unsustainable. To this end, documental research was carried out on an OECD document that stands out as a
source of knowledge on SI followed by a bibliometric review of the literature that brings together the different approaches on transformations of social systems, so called 'sustainability transitions'. The findings indicate that the SI approach in use by
governments belongs to the sociotechnical category of transitions, and adopts the explanatory structure called the multi-level perspective of transition. The adopted approach stands out in academia, in terms of number of publications and citations.
