Title: Technological Innovation Systems and the wider context: A framework for 
	 developing countries
Abstract: The Technological Innovation System (TIS) framework is a systems 
	 approach for understanding the adoption and impact of technologies. This 
	 paper addresses limitations of the TIS functions approach by 
	 complementing its list of functions. As a result the breadth of 
	 application of the framework in developed countries is augmented, and 
	 made more applicable to the developing country context. In order to 
	 analyse the context in which the TIS operates, framework conditions are 
	 added to the TIS function approach, drawn from Multi-Level Perspective 
	 (MLP) literature.
Keywords: Technological transitions, Technological Innovation System, Multi-Level
