The concept of the Sectoral Innovation System offers a multidimensional, dynamic and integrated vision of the sectors. In this sense, Malerba (2004) states that a sectoral system is a set of products and agents with which market and non-market interactions are carried out for the creation, production and sale of products. The sectoral systems have a specific knowledge base, technologies, inputs and demand, where the agents that interact are people and organizations at the different levels of aggregation, which are related through communication, exchange, cooperation, competition and command processes, whose interactions are determined by the norms, rules, routines, behaviors and habits that are better called institutions.
Malerba’s (2004, p. 18) proposal for understanding SSI incorporates three types of components: institutions, actors and networks, and knowledge and technologies. The specificities of technology sectors and the knowledge base provide a powerful constraint on organisations’ learning patterns, competencies, behaviours and organisation of innovative activities and production in a sector system.
Innovation Sector Systems are considered as an engine of economic growth; However, the sectoral system is challenging to understand, mainly due to its high level of complexity. In addition to an innovation system being an abstract concept and difficult to measure directly from individual variables (Daim, 2005). In this direction, SSIs demand special attention every day due to their complexity, since each sector of the economy behaves differently in the market, according to its needs and dynamics of evolution (Malerba & Vonortas, 2009).
