Abstract

Although both EU policy makers and researchers acknowledge that public or stakeholder engagement is important for responsible innovation (RI), empirical evidence in this field is still scarce. In this article, we explore to what extent companies with a disposition to innovate in a more responsible way are moving towards the ideal of mutual responsiveness among stakeholders, as it is presented in the RI literature. Based on interviews with companies and non-economic stakeholders in the Dutch Food industry, it can be concluded that innovative food companies are still far from implementing the ideal of mutual responsiveness in a significant way. The tension between the call for the active involvement of stakeholders in the literature and actual stakeholder engagement practices is explained by identifying a number of critical issues regarding stakeholder engagement, which are specific to actors involved in RI in the private sector. Finally, management practices designed to deal with these critical issues regarding stakeholder engagement are identified.

利益相关者参与私营部门负责任的创新:关键问题和管理实践
尽管欧盟的政策制定者和研究人员都承认公众或利益相关者的参与对负责任的创新(RI)很重要,但这一领域的经验证据仍然很少。在本文中,我们探讨了在多大程度上,那些倾向于以更负责任的方式进行创新的公司正在朝着利益相关者之间相互响应的理想迈进,正如国际扶轮文献中所呈现的那样。根据对荷兰食品行业的公司和非经济利益相关者的采访,可以得出结论,创新食品公司还远远没有以一种重要的方式实现相互响应的理想。文献中对利益相关者积极参与的呼吁与实际的利益相关者参与实践之间的紧张关系,可以通过确定利益相关者参与的一些关键问题来解释,这些问题是私营部门参与国际合作的行动者所特有的。最后,确定了旨在处理与利益相关者参与有关的这些关键问题的管理实践。
