%X ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa was one of the first countries in the world that adopted a Systems of Innovation approach as its policy framework. By adopting this approach, one also inherits the problems, pitfalls, and challenges of a framework. This paper evaluates the Systems of Innovation approach from a theoretical, methodological, and policy perspective. Equipped with this knowledge, researchers can guide their research efforts, whereas policy makers can design more appropriate policy measures fitting and stimulating the functioning and effectiveness of a System of Innovation. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika was een van die eerste lande wat ¡®n Stelsel van Innovasie as grondslag vir ¡®n beleidsraamwerk aanvaar het. Die inherente probleme, slaggate en uitdagings van so ¡®n raamwerk is egter belangrike faktore om in ag te neem. Hierdie artikel evalueer die Stelsel van Innovasie-benadering vanuit ¡®n teoretiese, metodologiese en beleidsperspektief. Die bevindings kan as nuttige riglyne vir navorsingsbeplanning dien, terwyl beleidmakers meer toepaslike instrumente vir die stimulering van ¡®n funksionele en effektiewe Stelsel van Innovasie kan ontwerp.
