Webinar synopsis
The session aims at extending Innovation Management to an inclusive approach involving innovation practices and social and environmental sustainability. Like any management theory, new paradigms are needed to meet the challenges ahead of societies and economies. Thus, relatively separated fields of innovation management and sustainability will merge into a more holistic and powerful concept. Although sustainability has been discussed for many years, it hardly made into the core of innovation management, remaining at the niche level of eco-innovation or environmental concepts. However, the next generations of innovations will have to take sustainability into account for all activities, for example, in structured and systemic forms, which were exceptions until recently. Therefore, it seems appropriate to start looking at the dark side of innovation management, moving towards a genuinely systemic and comprehensive picture of innovation and integrating this into established innovation management theory, practices, and policy.
The session is supported by a Special Issue entitled ‘The dead end of classical innovation management and unsustainable innovation‘ in Technovation (https://www.rnd2022.org/special-issues.html) guest edited by the speakers Prof Dr Jan Kratzer (TU Berlin), Prof Dirk Meissner (Higher School of Economics University), Dr Rainer Harms (Twente University) and Dr Bruno Brandão Fischer (University of Campinas). This event is part of the annual BAM Academic Affairs of Conference and Capacity Building (AACCB) webinar series:
The AACCB webinars will help attendees to gain greater clarity about some contemporary issues, and how they link in with other related management research areas. Delivered by senior academics engaged in cutting edge research, the topics to be covered in the series will provide attendees with scholarly insight into what constitutes meaningful scholarship, and the making of optimal theoretical and methodological choices when crafting high impact manuscripts for publication. There will also be opportunities to discuss ways to get the best out of the publication process, crafting a careers, and networking with fellow academics, and other management researchers, all in one place.
