Implementation of Responsible Innovation Strategies in Multinational Technology Corporations -A Comparative Case Study
(2024) MGTN59 20241Department of Business Administration
- Abstract
- Responsible Innovation (RI) is a relatively new framework and there is limited literature on its implementation in businesses. This thesis investigates if and how three multinational technology corporations implement RI by using a comparative case study approach. The three firms chosen - Airskin, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Autec - have significantly different market positions (size and resources to innovate) and operate in different sectors (sub-industries). This study explores how these firms' market position and sectoral pace of innovation affects their RI implementation practices and draws broader conclusions about how RI is implemented in the technology industry. Key findings are that technology firms use 1) Customisation, 2)... (More)

This study explores how these firms' market position and sectoral pace of innovation affects their RI implementation practices and draws broader conclusions about how RI is implemented in the technology industry. Key findings are that technology firms use 1) Customisation, 2) Trustworthiness of their Operations and 3) Acceptability of their innovations as ways of implementing RI. The findings show that a sector's pace of innovation and a firm's market position affect these in nuanced ways, with practical implications for technology firms. (Less)
