Responsible innovation is a key response to the grand challenges faced by society, helping to develop innovations with society in mind, and limit any unintended consequences. Responsible managers with influence over innovations need knowledge and understanding of how responsible innovation applies to their roles and how as individuals they can manage innovation responsibly. While the application of responsible innovation to these contexts faces a number of practical and conceptual challenges, this chapter will focus on the contribution and potential of responsible management of innovation processes to provide economic and societal benefits. This chapter explores these issues through the perspective of individual managers, at the level of the organisation and finally at the level of the innovation system.","PeriodicalId":245293,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook of Responsible Management","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128764519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Enacting responsible management: a practice-based perspective","authors":"O. Price, S. Gherardi, Marie Manidis","doi":"10.4337/9781788971966.00035","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4337/9781788971966.00035","url":null,"abstract":"This chapter proposes a theoretical and methodological approach to investigating the ways in which individuals, organizational, social and environmental settings are entangled and, draws on post-humanist practice theory (Gherardi, 2017: 55) to discuss managing responsibly. Instead of using three interrelated and partially overlapping concepts, namely, sustainability, responsibility and ethics, the chapter proposes to assume managing responsibly as ‘care’, as a dimension of ‘doing’ responsible management in situated practices of organizing and managing. We concur with others that the concept of responsible management may be understood as ‘the integration of sustainability, responsibility, and ethics (SRE) into the managerial practice(s) of ‘normal’ managers’ (Laasch, 2018b: 1a). We extend this understanding by drawing on a practice-based approach, advocating not for the study of managers as individuals or collectives, nor managerial work and activities, nor management discourse in isolation, nor education or learning as separate activities – but rather for the study of the social and material effects of their interconnections. In doing this, we maintain that a normative understanding of ‘managing responsibly’ is co-constructed and is emergent within a ‘texture of practice’1 (Gherardi, 2006: 55), that is, as part of the surrounding and interacting practices in a specific site. ‘Texture’ is therefore understood as ‘a weave or a web of interacting elements that resists operational definition’ (Cooper & Fox, 1990: 575, drawing on the introduction of the term into organizational studies by Emery & Trist, 1965). We illustrate how a practice-based approach can unpack multiple enactments of what might constitute managing ‘responsibly’ (or not) recognizing that there may be a range of competing beneficiaries in different contexts. For example, the chapter considers what might constitute responsible management in a purely market-focused business context, in publicly-subsidized contexts, as well as what it might look like in our case study, an ecovillage co-operative setting. In business, shareholder return on investment is paramount, while in aged care settings for example where marketization ideologies have taken hold in the management of such publicly subsidized services, we argue that efficiency and cost reduction may be being given primacy over effectiveness of care outcomes. In the ecovillage setting, economic sustainability remains a necessity but it does not give primacy to profit alone. This distinction recognizes that there is an implicit value in talking about the kind of responsible management we hold to, which we recognize might not be a panacea for every context.
