Innovation is a multifaceted process influenced not only by technological advancements but also by sociological institutional factors. This research delves into the intersection of sociological institutional principles and sociotechnical strategies for innovation. By examining the interplay between social structures, norms, and technological systems, this study aims to elucidate the function and contributions of sociological institutional principles to the innovation process. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks from sociology and innovation studies, this research proposes a comprehensive model that integrates sociological institutional insights into socio-technical strategies for fostering innovation. Through empirical analysis and case studies, we demonstrate how sociological institutional principles can enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of innovation initiatives in various organizational contexts. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics shaping innovation ecosystems and provides practical implications for policymakers, managers, and practitioners seeking to harness the full potential of sociotechnical approaches to innovation.
