Research Output, Tools, and Metrics
The RI&E Initiative aims to influence managerial behavior through the development and dissemination of research, tools, and metrics (such as indexes, measures for RI&E, case studies, practice-oriented publications, and seminars). Furthermore, we will aim to help mission-driven companies navigate spaces where there are tensions between their mission-related elements and business elements relating to scale such that they are in a better position to build responsible innovation capabilities and scale their mission. One of these would be the development of a signature index/rating for Responsible Innovation based on the sub-dimensions of anticipation, reflexivity, inclusion, and responsiveness.
Grants
We will offer two signature grants as a part of this program for LFCoB faculty:
