为了创造一个可持续的未来，需要整合社会伦理问题的创新。负责任的创新为管理这些问题提供了一种方法，并试图确保创新是为社会和与社会一起进行的。负责任的创新在行业背景下的应用受到与主导业务逻辑、利益相关者管理问题和资源限制相关的挑战的限制，其中许多创新都是在行业背景下开发的。开放式创新是一种在行业背景下更常用的方法，它涉及与负责任的创新维度和实践重叠的活动。这意味着，开放式创新可以代表一种方式，以一种破坏性和成本较低的方式将社会伦理因素的管理整合到行业背景中。本文探讨了开放式创新和负责任创新在多大程度上重叠并可以兼容。开放式创新和负责任的创新都在理论上进行了审查，然后通过对在欧洲气候智能农业背景下开发创新的企业家进行半结构化访谈(n=11)展开实证调查。我们发现了探索性开放式创新活动与负责任创新维度之间的兼容性证据。结果表明，通过开放式创新管理社会伦理问题需要对伦理问题的敏感性，以及在创新过程中战略性地纳入伦理考虑的动机。这些发现被纳入到一个临时的扩展开放创新模型中，该模型用于行业背景下的社会伦理管理-开放创新2.0。
To create a sustainable future, innovations are needed that integrate socio-ethical issues. Responsible innovation provides a method for managing these issues, and tries to ensure that innovation is conducted for and with society. The application of responsible innovation in industry contexts, where many of these innovations are developed, is limited by challenges related to dominant business logics, stakeholder management problems and resource constraints. Open innovation is an approach more commonly employed within industry contexts, which involves activities that overlap with responsible innovation dimensions and practices. This means that open innovation could represent a way to integrate the management of socio-ethical factors into industry contexts in a less disruptive and costly way. This paper explores the extent to which open innovation and responsible innovation overlap and could be compatible. Both open innovation and responsible innovation are reviewed theoretically before an empirical enquiry is launched through semi-structured interviews (n=11) with entrepreneurs developing innovations in the context of climate-smart agriculture in Europe. We find evidence for compatibility between exploratory open innovation activities and dimensions of responsible innovation. Results indicate that the management of socio-ethical issues through open innovation requires sensitivity to ethical issues and a motivation to include ethical considerations strategically in innovation processes. These findings are incorporated into a provisional extended open innovation model for the management of socio-ethical in industry contexts - an Open Innovation 2.0.
