Implementation of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) Practices in Industry: Providing the Right Incentives

Agata Gurzawska, Markus Mäkinen, Philip Brey · 2017 · Sustainability

Summary. This paper examines how to encourage industrial companies to adopt Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)—research that is ethically sound and socially beneficial. The authors propose a framework of incentives organized by type: external versus internal, instrumental versus non-instrumental, and direct versus indirect. They identify specific incentives including corporate reputation, consumer demand, certification, employee engagement, and governance structures. The paper argues that RRI adoption benefits both business competitiveness and society, and outlines conditions necessary for successful implementation in industrial settings.
