Look who's talking: responsible innovation, the paradox of dialogue and the voice of the other in communication and negotiation processes

Vincent Blok · 2014 · Journal of Responsible Innovation

Summary. This paper develops a theoretical framework for stakeholder dialogue in responsible innovation processes. Rather than assuming communication succeeds through openness and harmony, the authors argue dialogue must accommodate fundamentally different interests and values. They identify four key characteristics: dialogical responsiveness enhances self-criticism, involves transformation of participant identities, exists only through actual enactment, and responds to major societal challenges. The work redefines responsiveness as central to responsible innovation.
