Titre : Promotion of the diffusion of radical innovations in goods transportation system: best practices from the German‐French comparison Auteurs : Corinne Blanquart, Stephan Müller, Revue : Technology and Innovation Numéro : Mobility Innovations. Transport, management of flows and territories Volume : 2 Date : 2017/05/11 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2017.0141 ISSN : 2399-8571 Résumé : The topic of this article concerns the conditions for the emergence and dissemination of radical innovations in freight transport, with regard to environmental externalities. It shows the need to consider radical innovation as a social innovation, leading to reconsidering the organization of the relationships between the actors of the transport system, who should therefore be associated to the innovation process. Similarly, the renewal of the role of the state, through relevant interfaces between science and industry, is reaffirmed. The article thus illustrates the national specificities between France and Germany both in the partnerships in the innovation process and in the role of the state. Éditeur : ISTE OpenScience
