Abstract
The theory of social construction of technology (SCOT) and the theory of technological paradigms (TTP) are normally

regarded as competing or even incompatible perspectives on technological change. In this paper, we show how and when

the perspectives are complementary by comparing how the theories conceptualise technology development, understand

stakeholders, and determine driving forces for technological change. When stakeholders have different relations to the

innovation process, and when the outcome of the innovation process is open, we argue that the two theories could be

complementary tools for analysing the process. When using SCOT and TTP as complementary analytical tools, it becomes

easier to understand and design innovation processes in which different stakeholders are attached to roles where they are

able to contribute in the most productive ways.
