“…Over the past decade, focus has been set on inclusive innovation as a strategy for more inclusive and sustainable development. Responsible innovation is oriented on public engagement and can be characterized by the inseparability of technical and social considerations [33,34]. The scale of social and environmental problems lead to the necessity to demonstrate the commitment of organizations to sustainable development.…”

“…On the organization level, responsibility and sustainability must be among the values of the organization in order to be able to define sustainable development [9,35]. Consequently, responsible innovation is becoming an increasingly important concept as it is focused on searching for solutions to challenges which can guarantee sustainable development that is achieved through integration and cooperation [34].…”

“…Similarly to standardization, early stakeholder involvement is considered a crucial element to increase transparency and alignment with societal needs and democratic values in responsible innovation [10,38]. This type of cooperation also introduces the environment for the creation of enhanced innovations with lower implementation costs based on new forms of cooperation with different networks [34].…”

“…Leading to more inclusive and sustainable development, providing for public engagement and ensuring the inseparability of technical and social considerations. [33,34] Responsible innovation implies the necessity to involve and identify the needs of stakeholders, as well as to focus on the ideas of sustainability, thus building cooperation and relationships among different groups of interested parties. Ensuring transparency is also an important feature of responsible innovation and is the case for standardization as well as ensures the opportunity for all interested parties to follow and contribute to the processes of innovation and standards development.…”

Standardization, based on scientific and technological development, provides solutions for optimal level of order in a wide range of industrial, societal and environmental fields. Analogically to the process of open innovation, the development of standards brings together the knowledge and experience of different stakeholders, resulting in solutions that are relevant and accessible to the general public. Similarly, the concept of responsible innovation requires a variety of stakeholders to be involved in innovation development to ensure that their present and future needs are met. Although the link between standardization and innovation is a widely explored issue, the interaction of standardization with the increasingly relevant concepts—open innovation and responsible innovation—remains a research gap, therefore the aim of the study is to identify the common characteristics of standardization and open and responsible innovation, as well as to analyze the interaction between these concepts. The research is based on a literature review on the concepts of standardization, standards development and open, responsible innovation, as well as a field analysis on the ongoing activities in standardization in relation to innovation. The similarities and interaction between standards development and the creation of open, responsible innovation is analyzed and as a result a model that combines the characteristics of standardization, open and responsible innovation and their interrelation is provided. The findings of the study demonstrate that both the standardization process itself and its outcomes can be compared to the processes of open and responsible innovation and can also be characterized as a contributor for creating the environment for the achievement of sustainable development and fostering open and responsible innovation.
