“…Finally, temporal awareness [65] represents a bottom-up process. Gibb and Scott's [10] framework refers to the ability of entrepreneurs to be aware of their own purpose and the goal of their entrepreneurial process-"where they want to and can go". The word "temporal" refers to a time dimension.…”

“…The principles of RRI direct us to involve the user early in the innovation process, but lacks direction on whom to involve, how to involve them, and at what stage [3]. While several researchers claim that RRI is advantageous for businesses [2,10,17,18], other studies point to the negative effects of RRI for innovation processes. For example, Blok, V. et al [14] find that involving stakeholders in the process is challenging for innovation processes.…”

Responsible innovation (RI) has received increased attention from policymakers and academics as a solution to grand challenges and is viewed as the main driver for innovation. The United Nations has suggested 17 Sustainable Development Goals and responsible innovation can be seen as a tool that allows the movement of society towards reducing inequality, coping with environmental challenges and sustaining countries’ economic and societal development. Our knowledge of how businesses act responsibly in solving these challenges is scarce. An inductive analysis of 14 e-health startups in Norway, shows that responsibility is highly prevalent. Entrepreneurs have instant contact with users (patients or healthcare professionals), which increases inclusiveness, anticipation and reflection as the main elements of responsibility. However, firms’ contextual and strategic awareness of responsibility remains low, which means an absence of focused strategies to exercise responsibility. Consequently, entrepreneurial startups are prevented from reaching broader stakeholders and fully reflecting the knowledge obtained. Moreover, RI activities are often bundled with other activities on the “path” to successful commercialization. This paper contributes to and enriches the current RI understanding from a firm perspective and suggests some implications for practitioners as well as policymakers to enhance sustainable development in the healthcare sector.

“…Ethics is in this sense broadly interpreted as ‘the world of values that surrounds and flows through any project’ (Burgess, 2011a: 3), and the role of the ethics Work Package (WP) corresponds with the manifold normative challenges that can emerge from ongoing research. In practice, such a broad interpretation of ethics and its guidance and advice capacities results in varying forms of ethics work within project consortia, including the likes of establishing a dialogue with technical partners and raising awareness of ethical stakes, input to technical components and processes, provision of best practice guidelines, or the development of evaluation schemes for project components (see, for example, Hempel et al, 2013; Van Gorp and Van der Molen, 2011). These activities should in theory make it possible to put critique to work and to establish an ethically informed dialogue with those professional communities that are involved in imagining and producing security in the arena of security research programmes.…”

Putting critique to work: Ethics in EU security research

In this article, we examine the possibility of exercising critique through the mandatory ethical coverage that EU security research projects must be subjected to. Applied ethics, so we argue, speaks to several core issues in the critical security studies agenda, such as turning abstract considerations of critique into forms of tangible cooperation, engaging exoteric communities, and placing normative questions about security within concrete contexts of its imagination and production. Accordingly, it can be seen as a concrete way of putting critique to work. At the same time, however, applied ethics does face considerable challenges that result from its location in the middle of numerous cross-pressures, such as political ambitions, economic interests, technological rationales and the demands of security professionals. These challenges risk turning what was intended to be the critical corrective of applied ethics into a legitimizing function of mere 'ethics approval'. Drawing on personal experiences as well as debates on critical security studies and ethics, we discuss some of these challenges and discuss the possibility of and conditions for critique within the arena of EU security research.

“…Como apontado por Antonie (2012), Chávez & Valenzuela (2019) e Mcinerney (2017), deve-se sempre levar em conta os diferentes contextos de cada tipo de organização e os diferentes stakeholders envolvidos (Hadad & Gauca, 2014;Hempel et al, 2013), podendo, inclusive, ocorrer o desenvolvimento de diferentes formas de relatórios, para atender os diferentes tipos de atores interessados (Becker, 2001). Esse envolvimento de diferentes stakeholders, desde a elaboração até o recebimento das informações, foi destacado por diversos autores, sendo inclusive o aspecto de maior concordância entre eles (Chávez & Valenzuela, 2019;Hempel et al, 2013;Kunttu, 2017;Mcinerney, 2017;Polonsky et al, 2016). Como apontado por Agarchand e Laishram (2017), são os funcionários de uma organização ou membros de uma comunidade que vivenciam as suas rotinas, seus desafios e os impactos gerados, entendendo melhor o que é relevante para a medição.…”

Objetivo do estudo: apresentar o cenário científico sobre a avaliação do impacto social na área acadêmica da administração e negócios, tornando assim possível a criação de novos dados sobre o que está sendo pesquisado e quais as futuras direções da pesquisa em relação a indicadores de impacto social. Metodologia: foi utilizado como método o levantamento bibliométrico das publicações presentes na base de dados Web of Science, por meio das análises de citação, cocitação e bibliográficos. Posteriormente, esse método é combinado com uma revisão sistemática dos artigos presentes na área de administração e negócios. Principais resultados: a partir da abordagem bibliométrica, foi apresentado o número crescente de publicações, os principais autores sobre o tema em relação ao número de artigos e de citações, as universidades com mais estudos, e as áreas de estudo com mais publicações sobre o tema. Já a revisão sistemática da área de administração demonstrou que a maior dificuldade dos estudos é entender como mensurar o impacto social, tendo o contexto papel importante para a mensuração dessa temática. Contribuições acadêmicas: foi possível orientar, de forma ativa e objetiva, as principais conquistas do tema de pesquisa, bem como suas principais características e desafios futuros. Ademais, sobre os artigos da área de administração e negócios, foi indicado, a partir de seus conteúdos, sugestões para estudos futuros, focando principalmente em mais exemplos práticos do que em discussões teóricas. Contribuições práticas: o presente estudo auxilia no entendimento de onde é necessário um maior desenvolvimento e atenção nas discussões sobre um tema tão relevante para diferentes atores da sociedade.
