Abstract
Responsible Innovation (RI) has increasingly attracted attention in academic research and business practice for UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Especially, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) highlights RI as a key concept to address how to institutionalize and organize action programs to solve grand challenges. However, we know little about the determinants of organizing RI in business. By applying agile management and stakeholder theory, this study proposes the critical organizational factors to implement RI, namely: Organizational Agility and Communicative Actions. Based on the large-scale data analysis of 13,234 South Korean manufacturing firms during the period between 1999 and 2019, this paper investigates whether and how organizational factors can affect RI in the Asian context, using the zero-inflated negative binomial regression model. Findings show that well-organized agile management and communicative actions with stakeholders are essential to enhance RI performance in a holistic view. This study contributes to the recently emerging field of RI and offers novel theoretical and practical implications for academics and practitioners regarding the underlying mechanism of organizing RI.
负责任的创新(RI)在联合国可持续发展目标(SDGs)的学术研究和商业实践中日益受到关注。特别是,联合国亚洲及太平洋经济社会委员会(UNESCAP)强调,责任创新是解决如何制度化和组织行动方案以应对重大挑战的一个关键概念。然而,我们对企业组织 RI 的决定因素知之甚少。通过应用敏捷管理和利益相关者理论,本研究提出了实施 RI 的关键组织因素,即组织敏捷性和沟通行动。基于对 1999 年至 2019 年期间 13 234 家韩国制造企业的大规模数据分析,本文采用零膨胀负二项回归模型,研究了组织因素是否以及如何影响亚洲背景下的 RI。研究结果表明,从整体上看,组织良好的敏捷管理以及与利益相关者的沟通行动对提高 RI 绩效至关重要。本研究为最近新兴的 RI 领域做出了贡献,并就组织 RI 的基本机制为学术界和从业人员提供了新的理论和实践意义。
期刊介绍:
The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include:
Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries.
Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region.
Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
