De que forma a literatura científica brasileira e internacional tem conceituado e operacionalizado a noção de governança da inovação para sustentabilidade, e quai

Over the past decades, innovation governance for sustainability has gained increasing prominence in management research agendas, yet the field still lacks conceptual systematization. This study aimed to systematize the conceptual treatment of innovation governance for sustainability in the international scientific literature, identifying the theoretical approaches mobilized, the forms of operationalization of the concept, and the main gaps pointed out by authors. A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, with searches carried out in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, resulting in a final corpus of 48 peer-reviewed articles. The results reveal that the construct lacks a unified definition: only two of the 48 articles define it directly, while most operate with equivalent concepts, such as policy mix and Transformative Innovation Policy, or treat it as a background element in analyses focused on other objects. The predominant theoretical approaches are Innovation Systems, present in 87.5% of the articles, and Sociotechnical Transitions, mobilized in 58.3%. Methodologically, qualitative approaches predominate, especially interviews and case studies, complemented by quantitative panel analyses. The most frequent gaps concern the insufficient theorization of political processes and power dynamics, and the need for comparative studies across countries and sectors. Based on the synthesis of these findings, an integrative framework is proposed, comprising nine elements structured around actors, institutions, processes, coordination mechanisms, inputs, outputs, policies, governance structures, and sustainability dimensions. This research contributes to the theoretical advancement of the field by offering an organized reading of its conceptual fragmentation and a systematization proposal capable of guiding future studies.
