The Role of Stakeholders in the Context of Responsible Innovation: A Meta-Synthesis

Luciana Maines da Silva, Cláudia Cristina Bitencourt, Kadígia Faccin, Tatiana Iakovleva · 2019 · Sustainability

Summary. This meta-synthesis of seven empirical studies examines how stakeholders participate in responsible research and innovation (RRI) projects. The authors find that stakeholders typically join late in the innovation process, during market launch, limiting their influence on design. Academic researchers and multi-institutional project leaders orchestrate participation. The paper argues that innovation management practices—particularly early user involvement—should be integrated into RRI governance to enable more responsible outcomes and meaningful stakeholder influence.
