The book introduces a preliminary, integrative conceptual framework
on the intersections between management and social justice with a
view that the quest for social justice is not an endpoint rather an
ongoing journey. With contributions from management scholars and
practitioners, it highlights, examines, and explores the
continuities and discontinuities, gains and losses, and struggles
and successes in this quest for reimagining organizations as sites
and vehicles for advancing social justice in the world. To nurture
and facilitate flourishing individuals and collectives, we need
bolder, more innovative, and more creative models of engagement.
Further, we need models for speaking and learning from different
perspectives and building common ground through shared values of
equity, connectivity, and compassion and moral expansiveness while
recognizing the complexities of the world we inhabit via our
organizations and the need to develop nuanced understandings of the
same. Contributing authors address questions such as: Are social
justice and management mutually exclusive concepts? How can we draw
on effective management for advancing social justice aims? How do
we bend the arc of organizational life towards more justice? What
are the rights and obligations of organizations and their members
to the world at large, and to their local communities and
societies? Through its re-imagining of organizations and management
as vehicles for social justice instead of just as tools of
oppression, injustice, or regressive organizing in an extractive
economy, this book brings together critical and positive
organizational approaches challenging fundamental assumptions about
how our society, people's collectives, and workplaces are organized
with capacity building, incremental change, sustained change,
institutionalized change, dynamic ongoing problem-solving/
assessment/ redesign, and more. Management scholars will learn the
nuanced and complex intersections between management theories and
practice and different types of justice/injustice in a global
context both as antecedents to modern organizations and workplaces
and the ways in which these intersectional actors advance and
change the organizations and workplaces of the future.
This book defines socio-technological innovation and lays out
different aspects of technology innovation and adoption literature
as applied to socio-tech innovation and entrepreneurship.
Socio-tech innovation refers to novel solutions that involve
development or adoption of technological innovations to address
social and/or environmental problems with a view towards creating
benefit for the larger whole rather than just for the owners or
investors. Unlike conventional technological innovation, socio-tech
innovation either develops a product specifically for underserved
markets and adopts a model in which the market is not an
afterthought but the rai-son d'etre. Social ventures have not been
as successful in scaling up, though technology innovation-led
ventures have; therefore, meaningful actionable insights that can
help social ventures scale up successfully can be gleaned by this
process. This book offers researchers in innovation and
entrepreneurship programs a unique and interdisciplinary approach
to studying social innovation that is grounded in technology
innovation. This book features a series of socio-tech venture cases
that illustrate these dynamics and can be used in undergraduate and
graduate courses.
