While the collective “mission” to manage Covid-19, preferably through a vaccine, struggles from the time constraints that abound, researchers of “mission-oriented innovation” must conceptualize urgency better in order to keep their explanations on par with current and future policy dynamics. But how to understand “urgency” beyond observing time constraints? How does urgency transform the conditions of policy-making? What qualitatively distinguishes mission-oriented innovation under urgency? The paper spells out a concise definition of urgency in decision-making that is applicable to policy-making. Urgency transforms policy-making in that time obliterates paths of action which affects the rationality of the outcome. Path-dependencies may certainly ensue. What might affect public policy generally, is particularly challenging for mission-oriented innovation policy which must potentially manage the tension between the elevated “wickedness” and the increased urgency of societal challenges while innovation is, in addition, a specifically uncertain process.

虽然管理 Covid-19 的集体“使命”（最好是通过疫苗）在大量时间限制中挣扎，但“以使命为导向的创新”的研究人员必须更好地概念化紧迫性，以使他们的解释与当前和未来的政策保持一致动力学。但是如何理解超越时间限制的“紧迫性”呢？紧迫性如何改变决策条件？紧急情况下以任务为导向的创新在质量上有何区别？该文件阐明了适用于决策的决策紧迫性的简明定义。紧迫性在那个时候改变了决策，消除了影响结果合理性的行动路径。路径依赖性肯定会随之而来。什么可能会普遍影响公共政策，
