“…A response to this latter issue, which seems to be broadly accepted in the RRI debate, is that in order to count as responsible, research and innovation activities must actively seek to understand their potential consequences [23]. At a corporate level, this can be undertaken through the integration of foresight into business research projects [24,25] and by addressing stakeholder demands when developing new products.…”

“…The orientation of the corresponding innovation journeys is, on the other hand, much harder to achieve. This is particularly well-demonstrated by arguably unsuccessful agreements on the transnational level ranging from the Kyoto Protocol to the Paris Agreement, including so-called Grand Challenges (e.g., [15][16][17]) or the seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals [169], which do not adequately consider the interrelatedness of (wicked) problems and the resulting trade-offs between solution attempts. Moreover, the relative ease with which individual governments such as the Trump administration of the United States of America can withdraw from such transnational agreements points to the importance of entrenching sustainability goals among all IS actors.…”

“…In fact, Rockström and colleagues [4,5] claim that the Earth system has already crossed several thresholds and thus transcended what they term planetary boundaries, beyond which safe operating space for humanity can no longer be guaranteed and sustainability is severely compromised (see also [6]). These interrelated and systemic challenges have been referred to alternatively as wicked problems [7][8][9][10][11], persistent problems [12,13], complex challenges [14], grand challenges (e.g., [15][16][17]), or even super wicked problems [18] in the sense that their causes are emergent and complex, they are embedded in the social structure, their effects are uncertain, and they are thus extremely difficult to manage. It is rather unsurprising that in the context of this multiplexity of problems sustainability itself becomes a deeply normative issue often involving conflicting worldviews and contested pathways.…”

“…Grand challenges are by nature complex and largely impervious to top--down rational planning approaches. Furthermore, any attempts to address them must span a number of long--standing organisational, epistemic and sectoral boundaries [9]. Hence, such challenges concern the whole or large parts of societies and require multidisciplinary and collective action.…”
