Introduction
n the "#st century human civili$ation faces comple% challenges as never before in history& The most threatening of this grand challenges are related to the patterns of production and consumption adopted by industriali$ed societies& This social metabolism '(ischer)*o+als,i und -.ttler #//012 consumes resources that are in depletion +hether fossil 'hydro carbonates1 or mineral based 'rare earths1 and destroys natural capacity to reproduce natural resources& On the output side2 by burning fossil fuels2 it produces CO"2 +hich is the main contributing factor to climate change ' PCC "3#41#& Solutions to this comple% problems2 that are very deep rooted in the everyday lifestyle and interrelated functions and patterns of our contemporary society2 re5uire deep structural changes in ,ey areas of human activity2 such as our transport2 energy2 agri)food2 housing2 manufacturing2 leisure and other systems& The emerging research field of Sustainability Transition 6esearch aims to understand the stabili$ing factors2 that cause loc,)in processes2 path dependent development and entrapment2 to find leverage points 'Meado+s 7onella #//812 to find +ays to 9dislodge: 'ST6; "3#31 them2 and identify path+ays and +indo+s of opportunity for a Sustainability Transition i&e& transformation& n governance theory there are three main spheres identified2 +here the path+ays of society are consciously and unconsciously driven by human interaction2 state intervention2 mar,et and civil society& The systems thin,er and grand seigneur !rvin Las$lo stated in a speech via S,ype at the 7ays of the (uture "3#4 in Ossiach2 Austria< The greatest potential power in the world is civil society - but in fact it is a sleeping dragon.

The challenge of sustainable development is increasingly understood in terms of transitions to more sustainable socio-technical systems. (Smith et al. !"!# Sustainability transitions are long-term$ multi-dimensional$ and fundamental transformation processes through which established socio-technical systems shift to more sustainable modes of production and consumption. (%ar&ard et al. !" # 'esearch on (sustainability transitions comprises all scientific articles that are concerned with the analysis of the institutional$ organi)ational$ technical$ social$ and political aspects of far-reaching changes in e*isting socio-technical systems (e.g.$ transportation and energy supply#$ which are related to more sustainable or environmentally friendly modes of production and consumption. Sustainability transitions research includes empirical studies$ as well as conceptual and methodological contributions (ibid.# Transition scholars are interested in the broader societal transformations+ (Smith et al. !"!#

The field of Sustainability Transition 6esearch2 +ill provide the main theoretical frame+or,& n order to analy$e the possibilities and trajectories that allo+ transition i&e& transformation to happen2 the core concept of 9socio)technical systems: +as developed 'Mar,ard et al& "3#"1" The same could be said for OstromAs Bsocio)ecological systemsB& n difference to the understanding of mere technological transitions2 it is a+are2 that transformative technical innovations are interdependent +ith2 changes in user practices and in institutional structures 'e&g&2 regulatory and cultural12 in addition to the technological dimension& The conceptuali$ation as 9socio)technical systems: consists of net+or,s of personal and collective actors2 tangible and intangible institutions as +ell as material artifacts and ,no+ledge& Specific services to 9customers: in particular and society in general are provided in an interaction of a variety these mentioned elements& The systems approach behind the concept highlights the interdependence2 interrelatedness and specific dynamic in the structuri$ation of the socio)technical system& Socio)technical transitions are a combination of several innovative aspects& The core innovation2 service or product typically is interrelated +ith a developing series of complementary infrastructures2 for e%ample the automobile +ith gas stations2 traffic rules2 maintenance and insurance services& To adopt a ne+er e%ample2 the iphone or smart)phones come +ith an app mar,et2 accessories for protection and style2 technical accessories2 even insurance& The innovation itself cannot be understood +ithout ta,ing these interrelations in account& The recently emerged field of Sustainability Transition can provide the right frame+or, to analy$e and craft systemic approaches to+ards understanding2 spar,ing2 and co)creating sustainable transitions2 and diffuse successful approaches& Thereby it is clear2 that -uman
Mar,ard et al& n the mentioned article2 did a magnificent meta)analysis on the history of emergence for the field of Sustainability Transition 6esearch and Practice2 as +ell as a research agenda for further developing the field& Their article is very recommendable for deeper literature research and to get an understanding of the field& The follo+ing section2 as a very compressed and focused e%cerpt on the research area2 is mainly based on their +or,&

Action Systems are not deterministic2 but al+ays highly uncertain in the relation of input and outcome in a system& So the research is rather aimed at generating ne+ theoretical systemic approaches2 solidifying and testing them to develop heuristics2 than to develop a grand theory or deterministic la+s of transition& The research is conducted to address needs of2 and develop for as +ell as +ith the practitioners in the field& @esides the field of Sustainability Transition 6esearch C Practice2 there are other fields of practice and research that can deliver important insights to foster the abilities of communities to develop their uni5ue path+ays to sustainability2 the fields of Social !ntrepreneurship2 Social mpact and Social nnovation& The field of Social !ntrepreneurship could be described as an international movement of scholars/practitioners/entrepreneurs/consultants that speciali$es in understanding and

conducting the development of socially beneficial ideas to concepts2 to startups2 running operations2 and finally disseminate via scale& The area of scalability brings us to the field of Social mpact2 +hich is very closely related to the field of Social !ntrepreneurship itself& t is comprised of a slightly different aggregation of actors2 and concerned +ith the more mature social ventures and their scalability& The actors are advanced entrepreneurs +ith proven concepts and or running operations2 investors2 philanthropist2 foundations and other interest)groups that +ant to use their leverage of net+or,s and finance to scale social impact& They developed frame+or,s ho+ to assess success2 or possible success2 and understand possible dynamics and strategies for dissemination i&e& scaling& Many of the practices2 culture and developmental stages from that field are very promising for enabling transition initiatives& n ;ovember "3#"2 my
