高度创新的公司，在21世纪世纪的经济和社会的标兵，最近面临越来越多的公众争议和政府审查。鉴于各种丑闻--从所谓的选举干预、数据泄露和隐私问题，到自动驾驶汽车的测试和人类基因组编辑的流氓实验--公民、政策制定者和企业领导人都在呼吁在创新实践中承担更大的企业责任。然而，现有的关于企业社会责任（CSR）的学术研究很少明确关注创新破坏社会秩序和政治制度的方式。在本文中，我们将探讨企业社会责任创新如何解决创新的社会和政治后果。我们借鉴了科学技术研究（STS）的理论，特别是“技术政治”和“负责任的创新”的概念，以确定6个领域的共同概念利益：问责制的边界，受影响的社区，响应性和包容性，社会文化嵌入性，公民身份和权力的集中。最后，我们提出了一些初步的想法，作为企业社会责任的一部分，在企业环境中的负责任的创新的实施方案。我们的工作提供了新的机会，通过创新的透镜了解公司作为包容性组织。
Highly innovative companies, the pacemakers of economies and societies in the 21st century, have recently faced increasing public controversy and governmental scrutiny. In light of various scandals – ranging from alleged roles in election meddling, to data leaks and privacy issues, to the testing of autonomous vehicles and rogue experiments on human genome editing – citizens, policy-makers, and corporate leaders alike are calling for greater corporate responsibility in innovation practice. Yet, existing scholarship on corporate social responsibility (CSR) has paid little explicit attention to the ways in which innovations disrupt social orders and political systems. In this paper, we explore how CSR innovation can address the social and political consequences of innovation. We draw on theories from Science and Technology Studies (STS) and especially the notions of “politics of technology” and “responsible innovation” to identify shared conceptual interests in 6 domains: the boundaries of accountability, affected communities, responsiveness and inclusiveness, socio-cultural embeddedness, citizenship, and the concentration of power. We conclude with some tentative thoughts on implementation options of responsible innovation in corporate settings as part of CSR. Our work provides new opportunities for understanding companies as inclusive organization through the lens of innovation.
