“…Our intention was to make the connection between research and society more evident by asking researchers to identify the societal purpose of their work, using an established global framework (Willson, 2022). We chose the SDGs because they are becoming a lingua franca for describing research impacts (Chankseliani and McCowan, 2021;Hourneaux Junior, 2021;Sianes et al, 2022). The societal impact goals element of the framework helps researchers identify what their research has contributed to.…”

Universities, researchers and funders are increasingly asking how research contributes to positive changes in society and the environment, and seeking ways to document and describe impacts consistently across diverse disciplines and organisational scales. The societal impacts framework presented in this pilot study uses a combination of impact goal and impact descriptor frameworks to elucidate the societal impacts of research. The framework blends elements of assessment-driven and mission-driven reporting frameworks, and was administered online to volunteers from one interdisciplinary environmental research institute. The 12 projects in the pilot study addressed 15 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, and all 12 projects reported impacts in two or more of six impact descriptor categories. We also identified an impact subcategory dealing with changes to higher education practice. Combining two types of impacts frameworks – societal goals and descriptors of changes – allowed us to understand how the research projects contributed to broad societal goals, not just that they addressed the goals. Responses from study participants indicated a good fit between the framework and their research efforts. However, we found that the online reporting tool, in its current form, was not effective in eliciting full and accurate reports from all participants. We reflect upon how to improve data collection in the future, as well as on opportunities for additional tests of the framework in new contexts.

“…In addition to these pollutant issues, the United Nations SDGs, a 2030 agenda having 169 targets (UN 2016), can be substantially impacted by these pandemic-induced environmental problems. The SDGs integrate social, economic, and environmental dimensions and provide guidance for humanity to prosper in the long term (Hourneaux 2021). The environmental issues are directly or indirectly involved in the subgoals of all the 17 goals.…”

COVID-19 has wreaked havoc throughout the planet within a short time frame, inducing substantial morbidity and mortality in the global population. The primary procedures commonly used to manage the pandemic can produce various environmental pollutants, primarily contaminants of emerging concern such as plastics, chemical disinfectants, and pharmaceutical waste. There is a huge influx of various environmental pollutants due to the pandemic effect. We, therefore, introduce the term “envirodemics” depicting the exacerbated surge in the amount of pandemic-induced pollutants. The general toxicity pattern of common chemical ingredients in widely used disinfectants shows negative impacts on the environment. We have identified some of the significant imprints of the pandemic on localizing the Sustainable Development Goals—environment interaction and their implications on achieving the goals in terms of environmental benefits. Climate change impacts are now widespread and have a profound effect on pollutant fluxes and distribution. The climate change signatures will impact the pandemic-induced enhanced fluxes of pollutants in the global waters, such as their transport and transformation. In this study, possible interactions and emerging pathways involving an emerging climate-health-pollutant nexus are discussed. The nexus is further elaborated by considering plastic as an example of an emerging pollutant that is produced in huge quantities as a by-product of COVID management and disaster risk reduction. Additionally, regulatory implications and future perspectives concerning the unleashed nexus are also discussed. We hope that this communication shall call for incisive investigations in the less explored realm concerning the health-pollutant-climate nexus.

“…Therefore, we stress the other main concept: SDGs can also be used as a reference or address research impact on management. Moreover, management research can contribute to the SDGs (Nilsson, et al, 2016;Biggeri et al, 2019;Chapman et al, 2020;Nations, 2020;Hourneaux, 2021;Jeffrey & Sachs, 2021) as indicated below:…”

The present research highlights the main developments in the generations of innovation management models and systems. Innovation defined as the process of transforming ideas into marketable products or services is vitally important to the industry since it can produce value to the customers and generate revenue for producers. The research aim is to develop a novel generation innovation framework for future digital economy which defines the lifecycle from idea generation to commercialization, illustrating the factors affecting such development and considering the current socio-economic environment, evolution of business processes, technological advancements and market trends. A questionnaire is designed and administered to professionals in industry to elicit their feedback that can be used to validate the framework and to assess its usefulness to organisations. This questionnaire is an essential part of the research methodology. The questions are formulated in a format that allows a pair-wise comparison highlighting the item`s relative importance. Adequate guidance on answering questions is provided. The proposed innovation framework is applied to collect data and to carry out a pair-wise comparison between the components of the main criteria and sub-criteria. It triggers the innovation processes required to handle the demand-pull and to consider the digitalisation push. The model is validated utilizing the practitioner’s contributions from seven countries, namely; the UK, UAE, USA, Germany, Japan, China, and Canada, The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is utiliesed, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods. The impact of digitalisation-push and of the demand-pull are considered as main criteria, with many sub-criteria associated with each criterion. The findings confirmed that the proposed framework is useful to industry professionals and organisations that focus on creating value for the customer who has become more aware of and demanding regarding lead time delivery services, product availability, and reliability. The model can also be applied to test the ideas of experts to obtain the appropriateness of the innovation framework for manufacturing, firms, and organisations.
