China's leapfrogging in electromobility. A story of green transformation driving catch-up and competitive advantage
For several decades, China tried to catch up in the automotive industry, yet until recently with little success. Now, the paradigm shift from internal combustion to electric driving has opened a window of opportunity to catch up with global competitors. The Chinese government provided a strong policy push to become a lead market, allowing firms to accumulate technological capabilities and increasingly turn into lead manufacturers. This paper comb…
Latecomer development in a “greening” world
The current transgression of ecological boundaries requires a transformation to a ‘Green Economy’, with rigorous and fast reductions of pollution and resource consumption. Transformative policy reforms towards this aim can lead to economic co-benefits, but they can also be costly, at least for certain economic actors. Furthermore, they can involve trade-offs between current and future wellbeing. Timing and sequencing of reforms is thus far from t…

Rent Management – The Heart of Green Industrial Policy
At the heart of green industrial policy is rent management: government creating and withdrawing opportunities for profitable investment. This paper asks what the key factors are for rent management to succeed. Drawing on a range of literatures, the paper first deals with the critical success factors for ‘normal’ rent management and then turns to one of the most pressing and controversial issues of our time: how to bring about the transition to gr…
Introduction to the special issue
Sustainability-oriented innovation systems – managing the green transformation
Global warming and other impending environmental mega-problems call for a new technological paradigm. The urgency of the development and deployment of technological solutions is such that governments will need to make widespread use of 'carrots and sticks' to ensure that next-generation technologies are developed and deployed, more demanding standards and regulations are applied and stricter enforcement is guaranteed. To capture the main elements…
Sustainability-oriented innovation in the automobile industry
Many leading economies have recently launched policy initiatives to promote electromobility. E-mobility presupposes innovations that are both radical and systemic, as new charging infrastructure, new mobility concepts and new interfaces with the energy system are needed. The paradigm shift affects an industry that is the backbone of manufacturing in many countries. Policymakers therefore need to strike a difficult balance between competing object…
