Christian Voegtlin, Andreas Georg Scherer, Günter K. Stahl, Olga Hawn · 2021 · Journal of Management Studies

Summary. Grand societal challenges require innovation from businesses, governments, and nonprofits working together.

The authors call for research linking responsible innovation governance to addressing complex, multi-level societal problems.
