approach to conceptualization and operationalisation for the purpose of empirical
research. It contributes a new perspective and approach in research on innovation.
We believe that SOFIA can have implications for both academic research and practical
applications in reshaping the existing instruments and governance arrangements
in innovation policy. Whilst applying SOFIA, we urge researchers to leverage
the plurality of different qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method approaches
in innovation studies, including less conventional methods, such as QCA (Ragin,
2008). Diligent application of SOFIA can also subsequently lead to the development
of high-level theoretical contributions.
