PURPOSE OF SEMINAR

In the last few decades, Responsible and Sustainable Innovation (RSI), it has attracted the attention of research scholars across several management and engineering disciplines, as well as practitioner communities and policy makers dealing with grand societal challenges and the SDGs[1]. This inaugural inter-disciplinary seminar is going to introduce RSI research methods, theories and techniques for doctoral students who aim collecting, analysing and visualising data for their research in diverse organisational settings and application areas: from global health to the environmental “green” innovation, to the ethics of supply chain management, to social inequality and merit-based stewardship. These are few examples of the “big issues” and societal challenges that we’re going to address head on with respect to the management of technological, social and organisational innovation, for a collaborative and sustainable future.

OBJECTIVES & LEARNING GOALS

Leading research, from several research projects in doctoral and post-doctoral levels from both sides of the Atlantic (Bocconi, ESADE, MIT, Texas, UCL, etc) and the Far East (TIT), are going to illustrate many of the qualitative and quantitative issues related to RSI research at inter-personal, community, and inter-organisational (incl. supply chains and innovation ecosystems), levels of analysis. Particular attention is going to be paid in what constitutes a theoretical contribution and how to publish in top scholarly journals such as the Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Operations Management, etc. As well as to the dynamic[1] analysis of longitudinal data, in the last one and a half days of the seminar.

In addition, students are going to be allocated time in each day of the seminar for reflecting on what they will have learned on the day and presenting their own ongoing doctoral research projects in inter- and cross-disciplinary settings for getting advice and feedback from faculty and other participants during and after the seminar. The primary aim here is to create an intimate environment for about 25 to 30 doctoral students and seven faculty (see below) to share their deep knowledge and expertise in the state of the art, in RSI across Europe and worldwide.

FORMAT

The format of the seminar will be hybrid and will be organised over 6 days (6 ECTS) in two parts (see Tables 1 and 2 below), in the fall of 2023. The first part will take place face to face at the EIASM in Brussels, over 2 days to allow participants (mainly from Europe) to network and get to know each other face to face inside, and outside, the class (Zoom sessions will also allow those who cannot travel to connect with the class from distance). The second part will take place Online, over the following 3-4 weeks in half day’s slots, so that faculty covers more in-depth topics and students get a chance to absorb the knowledge and go further with their readings and research projects.

PROGRAMME

There are several strands of the RSI literature and underlying research methodologies for analysing and visualising primary data collected from an array of sources, including surveys, experiments, interviews, as well as relational, network data, and secondary sources such as archival data, that the seminar is going to address with lectures and in depth hands on training with dedicated software (e.g., Stata) over a month or so, in the fall of 2023. Tables 1 and 2 show the draft schedule for this inaugural seminar with the working titles of all sessions contributed by the confirmed faculty, see also for the biographical notes of the faculty below.
