“…Amid these concepts, the present research explores and describes the adoption of SOI in the organizational environment, as it reinforces the combination between innovation and sustainability and highlights sustainability as an important driver of innovation in organizations (Godin & Gaglio, 2019). The choice for the concept of SOI resides in the fact that it focuses on innovation from the relationship it establishes with the tripod of sustainability.…”

“…Knowledge about the dynamics of sustainabilityoriented innovation projects is growing (Maier et al, 2020;Godin & Gaglio, 2019) and requires expansion, for example, in the field of administration (Pinsky & Kruglianskas, 2017), especially in Brazil (Carvalho et al, 2018). The expansion of its importance in the field of management is a reflection of the increased perception of organizations concerning its benefits, such as differentiation, qualification, development of new products, processes and services, access to new markets, efficiency in the value chain, compliance, cost, and risk reduction (Carvalho et al, 2018;Bocken et al, 2015;Frondel et al, 2010;Nidumolu et al, 2009;Schot & Geels, 2008), which contributes to the growth of legitimacy, reputation and organizational performance (Varadarajan, 2015).…”

This research aims to analyze which internal and external factors related to sustainabilityoriented innovation (SOI) are present at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre-RS (HCPA). Adescriptive and qualitative case study was carried out. The main results show thatsustainability drives innovation, SOI is related to internal and external factors to theorganization, and, in this specific case, we observed that three factors (safety, financing, andcost/price) were considered barriers to SOI development. Finally, an SOI framework ispresented for the researched hospital organization.

“…This applies to products, services, and technologies, as well as to new organizational and business models. Thus, it is not a linear or mechanical process, but an ecosystem formed by continuous interactions between the economy, society, and the environment (Malerba 2002;Hsieh et al 2017), an ecosystem of actors and relationships in which collaboration assumes an indispensable strategic role (Foxon and Pearson 2008;Smorodinskaya et al 2017;Godin and Gaglio 2019).…”

This work aims to develop a conceptual model to support countries, institutions, and firms toward the accomplishment of present Agenda 2030 sustainability goals. The last two decades have seen a growing interest in sustainability. Climate change, resource scarcity, multipolarity of interests, mistrust and delegitimization of institutions are just some of the critical issues that need to be addressed. There is broad consensus on the urgency of generating further social, environmental, and economic innovation to address these challenges, reshaping global markets, and offering new spaces of action to firms and institutions. Accordingly, there also is a wide search for new models of organizing firms. Digital platforms are among those. Moreover, since digital platforms require coordination among multiple actors and interests in order to succeed, they may also be conceptualized as meta-organizations, less hierarchical than firms yet more tightly coupled than markets. However, despite the wide literature on platforms, this organizational lens seems not to have been taken into the right consideration. This conceptual work aims to fill this gap, providing a framework that clarifies why and how a digital platform ecosystem could configure a sustainable meta-organizational model, and also providing the main steps to build it.

“…It is still, somehow, a paradox because although sustainability has opened up its scope, innovation seems reluctant to. Up until now, in heterodox economics (all the branches of which are against a neoliberal approach), the social and ecological realms have proved to be a concern under the concept of 'social innovation' (Godin & Gaglio 2019) -which is discussed below.…”

Smart cities and innovative governance systems: a reflection on urban living labs and action research

Urban Living Labs (ULL) are sites that allow different urban actors to design, test and learn from socio-technical innovations. In this article, I investigate the epistemological roots of ULL, claiming that this new instrument in the realm of urban planning strongly relies on action research, a methodology designed in the 1940s. I explore to what extent ULL and action research are different, identifying past obstacles of action research to design more successful ULL. This paper establishes that ULL are a key element to implement social innovation and that social innovation should lead technological innovation and the recent smart city model to promote smart sustainable cities. The article was prepared in the aftermath of the project “ROCK” (2017–2020) on cultural heritage as a driver for urban regeneration, where ULL played a central role being highly relevant in the context of urban regeneration policies. Key findings support that ULL can contribute to finding a balance between top-down and bottom-up strategies and its comparative qualitative analysis would improve the methodology. Moreover, public and private cooperation should be encouraged and government should lead and act as a key player in innovation strategies. Lastly, geography can contribute to these new challenges by framing past approaches, projecting the future of cities, and finding ways to make them become a reality.
