Anticipatory governance of a maritime mission using a real-time mission-oriented transition assessment
Real-time mission-oriented transition assessment (MOTA) is presented. • Real-time MOTA helps policymakers co-anticipate mission barriers. • A conceptualization and typology of mission barriers is proposed. • A real-time MOTA with 124 stakeholders of a Dutch maritime mission is conducted. • Real-time MOTA appears suited for early explorations of mission barriers. Anticipatory governance supports mission-oriented innovation policy by identifying, m…
What are transformative missions, really? Three dimensions for one shared understanding
Innovation policy debates increasingly position missions as a means to induce, direct, and accelerate socio-technical transformation in response to persistent societal challenges. Along with their growing popularity, critiques of missions question their potential to deliver on stated and projected promises. This raises the question of what it fundamentally means for missions to be transformative. We believe that a more nuanced perspective is need…
Mission-Oriented Transition Assessment as a reflective approach to mission governance
The recent mission-oriented discourse in innovation policy increasingly recognizes the need for participatory, anticipatory, reflexive, and tentative governance modes to address the wickedness associated with societal challenges. In this paper, we introduce the Mission-Oriented Transition Assessment (MOTA) approach as a novel way to collectively anticipate and reflect upon current and future mission-oriented transition dynamics, and we subsequent…
What drives change? Dynamic institutionalizations of responsible research and innovation in organizations: Reflections on the role of institutional entrepreneurship
While most innovations are developed in organizations, there is a wide-spread consensus that the organizational institutionalization of Responsible (Research and) Innovation is limited. This may partly be the case because we lack an understanding of what factors drive or impede the institutionalization of such responsibility-related changes and how they interact. In this paper, we draw from various institutional entrepreneurs’ experiences, who wo…
Out of place, scale and time? Navigating injustices across mission arenas of the German Energiewende
The uptake of transformative mission-oriented innovation policies has coincided with explicit calls to better understand their justice implications. Our qualitative meta-analysis addresses this ‘justice deficit’ by identifying, synthesizing, and reinterpreting empirical findings of 26 justice-related case studies that collectively draw from 1569 data points, and which pertain to the mission context of the German Energiewende. We review observatio…
Do transformer missions redirect values of mission-oriented projects? The case of the EU mission ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters’
To date, there is limited evidence of the directional ability of transformer missions. • We ask if a mission launch corresponds with value change in mission-oriented projects. • We compare policy documents, mission- oriented projects, and mission- relevant projects. • The preliminary results suggest that project-level values remain largely unaffected by missions. • Our findings question whether transformer missions redirect values in innovation. …
Responsible mission governance: An integrative framework and research agenda
Governance lies at the heart of instigating, steering, and creating the conditions for mission-oriented transitions that potentially help resolve some of our grand societal challenges. In doing so, policymakers will need to navigate both epistemic and normative considerations to develop, implement, and evaluate missions responsibly. A number of scholars have therefore expressed the need for a better conceptualization of responsible mission govern…
Public participation in mission-oriented innovation projects
Mission-oriented innovation policy is currently gaining renewed interest as an approach for addressing societal challenges. One of the promises is that missions can mobilise and align diverse stakeholders around a shared goal. Recent literature underlines the importance of public participation (e.g. municipalities and civil society organisations) in the socioeconomic transformations required for attaining missions. We ask how public participation…
Operationalizing contested problem-solution spaces: The case of Dutch circular construction
In shaping collective responses to societal challenges, we currently lack an understanding of how to grasp and navigate conflicting ideas on societal problems and potential solutions. The problem-solution space is an increasingly popular framework for conceptualizing the extent to which problem-oriented and solution-oriented views are divergent. However, this reflexive framework needs an operationalization to become useful in practice. We contrib…
Responsible Innovation and De Jure Standardisation: An In-Depth Exploration of Moral Motives, Barriers, and Facilitators
Standardisation is increasingly seen as a means to insert ethics in innovation processes. We examine the institutionalisation of responsible innovation in de jure standardisation as this is an important but unexplored research area. In de jure standardisation, stakeholders collaborate in committees to develop standards. We adopt the anticipation, inclusion, reflexivity, and responsiveness responsible innovation framework as our theoretical lens. …
A comprehensive appraisal of responsible research and innovation: From roots to leaves
Responsible Research and Innovation and Responsible Innovation, as academic endeavours, have grown substantially since their birth in the previous decades. They have been used as synonyms on a structural basis, and both concepts have been studied from various disciplinary backgrounds. This paper identifies Responsible Research and Innovation's and Responsible Innovation's shared research topics, knowledge base, and academic organisation as a comm…
