In this paper we reflect on effective research strategies for building helpful system dynamics models on induced technology change that are substantiated in the relevant literature and empirical data sources. The paper positions the innovation system literature within the overall field of induced technology change as a distinct systemic approach that offer relevant conceptual starting points for a system dynamics modeling experiment on induced technology change analyses. Innovation system research is interested in identifying the processes underlying innovation, industrial transformation and economic growth. Also, the interest in the functional dynamics of innovation systems creates an opportunity for system dynamics researchers that are applying a scholarly developed modeling approach aiming to identify the structure and processes that explain behavior patterns of induced technology change.
