Overview

Cross-national analysis shows how cultural dimensions shape responsible innovation management in firms in Germany, India, and Japan, suggesting varied approaches and practices.

Key Points

  • This research explores how profit-driven firms can integrate responsible innovation into their management practices while considering cultural influences.
  • Conducted 60 semi-structured interviews with innovation managers and decision-makers in multinational firms across Germany, India, and Japan.
  • Developed a conceptual model of responsible innovation management, incorporating cultural values and national innovation foci.
  • Employed inductive grounded theory to analyze qualitative data and identify patterns in responsible innovation practices.
  • German firms demonstrate strong alignment across all pillars of responsible innovation management (anticipation, reflexivity, inclusion, responsiveness).
  • Japanese firms focus primarily on anticipation, reflexivity, and inclusion, with less emphasis on responsiveness.
  • Indian firms show variability in responsible innovation practices, improving alignment when top management actively supports responsible innovation.
