  • The Biodiversity Moonshot: A Spark for a Transformative Change or a New Business‐Case Facade

    Open AccessFrancesco Testa, Alberto Di Minin et al.ARTICLEBusiness Ethics, the Environment…2026

    Biodiversity has recently gained increased attention in sustainability management research. It sustains the ecosystems on which organizations depend, while simultaneously being threatened by organizational activities. By highlighting this dynamic of impact and dependence, the integration of biodiversity into management discourse offers an opportunity to foster a more holistic understanding of the business–nature relationship, grounded in a system…

  • Rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Science

    Open AccessLiangping Ding, Celeste Lawson et al.ARTICLEScientometrics2025

    Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has rapidly emerged as a tool in scientific research. To examine its diffusion and impact relative to other AI technologies, we conduct an empirical analysis using the OpenAlex bibliometric database to retrieve GenAI and other AI relevant publications. To distinguish between publications that adopt AI technologies and those that mention them without AI use, we develop a two-stage classifier based on GPT-…

  • Responsible genomes: How can we foster responsible innovation in synthetic genomics

    Open AccessPaolo Corsico, Philip ShapiraARTICLEJournal of Responsible Innovation2025

    Reflections on the responsible development of synthetic genomics have contributed to shaping Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) as an area of inquiry. This paper revisits the question: what does responsibility entail in the field of synthetic genomics? We build on key tenets emerging from the work of bioethicists and scholars of innovation and RRI, examine how biosafety and biosecurity concerns have influenced debate about the responsible …

  • Enhancing SME innovation across European regions: Success factors in EU-funded open innovation networks

    Open AccessCristina Marullo, Philip Shapira et al.ARTICLETechnological Forecasting and…2024

    This study examines the funding allocations to Open Innovation (OI) networks involving small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) and other organizational actors by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Fast Track to Innovation program (2018–2021). Using a unique dataset of program application information at the participant level, the technological, organizational and locational characteristics of SMEs' OI innovation networks are analyzed. Success in secu…

  • Large-scale text analysis using generative language models: A case study in discovering public value expressions in AI patents

    Open AccessSergio Pelaez, Gaurav Verma et al.ARTICLEQuantitative Science Studies2024

    We put forward a novel approach using a generative language model (GPT-4) to produce labels and rationales for large-scale text analysis. The approach is used to discover public value expressions in patents. Using text (5.4 million sentences) for 154,934 US AI patent documents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), we design a semi-automated, human-supervised framework for identifying and labeling public value expressions in …

  • Tracking developments in artificial intelligence research: Constructing and applying a new search strategy

    Open AccessNa Liu, Philip Shapira et al.ARTICLEScientometrics2021

    Artificial intelligence, as an emerging and multidisciplinary domain of research and innovation, has attracted growing attention in recent years. Delineating the domain composition of artificial intelligence is central to profiling and tracking its development and trajectories. This paper puts forward a bibliometric definition for artificial intelligence which can be readily applied, including by researchers, managers, and policy analysts. Our ap…

  • Introducing the dilemma of societal alignment for inclusive and responsible research and innovation

    Open AccessBruno Ribeiro, Lusiana Bengtsson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Responsible Innovation2018

    In this discussion paper, we outline and reflect on some of the key challenges that influence the development and uptake of more inclusive and responsible forms of research and innovation. Taking these challenges together, we invoke Collingridge's famous dilemma of social control of technology to introduce a complementary dilemma that of "societal alignment" in the governance of science, technology and innovation. Considerations of social alignme…

  • Social science contributions compared in synthetic biology and nanotechnology

    Open AccessPhilip Shapira, Jan Youtie et al.ARTICLEJournal of Responsible Innovation2015

    With growing attention to societal issues and implications of synthetic biology, we investigate sources of social science publication knowledge in synthetic biology and probe what might be learned by comparison with earlier rounds of social science research in nanotechnology. “Social science” research is broadly defined to include publications in conventional social science as well as humanities, law, ethics, business, and policy fields. We exami…

  • Nanotechnology in the City: Sustainability Challenges and Anticipatory Governance

    Arnim Wiek, David H Guston et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Technology2013

    Visions about the use of nanotechnologies in the city, including in the design and construction of built environments, suggest that these technologies could be critically important for solving urban sustainability problems. We argue that such visions often overlook two critical and interrelated elements. First, conjectures about future nano-enhanced cities tend to rely on flawed concepts of urban sustainability that underestimate the challenges p…

  • Engineering Small Worlds in a Big Society: Assessing the Early Impacts of Nanotechnology in China

    Open AccessEvgeny A Klochikhin, Evgeny Klochikhin et al.ARTICLEReview of Policy Research2012Cited by: 1References: 32

    Nanoscience and nanotechnology--involving the engineering of materials, devices, and systems at very small scales--have emerged as important priorities not only for science but also for economic development. In this article, we propose an analytical framework that considers the socioeconomic effects of nanotechnology in six key areas: institutional development, knowledge flows, and network efficiency; research and education capabilities; industri…

  • Putting Innovation in Place: Policy Strategies for Industrial Services, Regional Clusters, and Manufacturing SMEs in Japan and the United States 1

    Open AccessPhilip ShapiraARTICLEPrometheus2008

    This paper examines the evolving situation of mature manufacturing small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) in Japan and the United States and considers some of the key challenges they now face in an era of globalization and rapid technological change. The rationale and justification for policy intervention to support mature SMEs is considered. A review is offered of illustrative policy initiatives in three areas: framework policies, industrial servi…

  • Managing Decline: Japan's Coal Industry Restructuring and Community Response

    Philip Shapira, Suzanne CulterARTICLEPacific Affairs2000

    For many years, coal formed the backbone of Japan's economic development, but the dangers and costs of mining became increasingly expensive for the industry and government. Global changes in coal production and exchange finally prompted Japan's decision in 1986 to shut down nearly all domestic coal mines in favour of coal imports. Japan's policy for industry restructuring had been applauded as one of the most comprehensive in addressing the needs…

  • Industrial Restructuring: Public Policies for Investment in Advanced Industrial Society

    Open AccessEdward J Blakely, Philip ShapiraARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1984References: 4

    The American economy is undergoing a fundamental process of industrial restructuring. The manufacturing sector is being reorganized and deindustrialized, the location of capital investment is changing, labor markets are becoming increasingly polarized, and new job-displacing technologies are rapidly being introduced. Although this restructuring process maintains profitability for large corporations, it imposes heavy costs on workers and their com…
