Responsible innovation: Managing the responsible emergence of science and innovation in society

摘要

Developed from the content of a workshop held at the Residence of the French Ambassador in London in May 2011, Responsible Innovation: Managing the Responsible Emergence of Science and Innovation in Society, is a collection of essays by an international cast of academics, administrators, ethicists, and scientists. Accessible for those interested in the trajectory of novelty in technique and technology, the collection is intended for decision makers and policy movers, individuals who need guidance on the unfolding of long term trends rather than specific, near term outcomes. As such, most of the essays will make it clear that they are making pains to stay away from explicit prescriptions for individual problems, and instead setting out to create management frameworks for leadership invested in innovation processes. Responsible Innovation is a textbook meant to be read early in the innovation process, ideally before ethical issues arise. The essays are very well cited and provide a wealth of information for further research. Equipped with the information found within, the text promises the watchdogs of innovative products and processes insight into the question of how innovation can and should be carried out.
