Unscripted Responsible Research and Innovation: Adaptive space creation by an emerging RRI practice concerning juvenile justice interventions

Abstract

Emerging RRI practices have goals with respect to learning, governance and achieving RRI outcomes (action). However, few practices actually achieve the action phase as actors lack room to manoeuvre, and lack guidance on how to move forward because of the inherent unscriptedness of the emerging RRI practice. In this explorative research an emerging RRI practice is studied to identify factors and barriers to the creation of adaptive space, in which actors can be responsive to the other and adapt, and a narrative can be created in the act of doing. This paper describes how formal and informal ways of organizing emerging RRI practices contribute to adaptive space, and how the metaphorical heuristic of improvisational theatre provides clear action principles to actors involved in emerging RRI practices in action. The RRI practice studied here lies in the domain of juvenile justice, where barriers that restrict room to manoeuvre are abundant. Five factors – ‘informality over formality’, ‘shared action space’, ‘be flexible’, ‘keep the action moving’ and ‘put the relationship central’ – were identified to facilitate reflexivity and adaptation in this space.

Mecanismos de Governança da Aprendizagem Organizacional (GovA)

“…A visão da c apacidade dinâm i c a ( L I C H T E N T H A L E R ; LICHTENTHALER, 2009; EISENHART; MARTIN, 2000;TEECE, 2007;ZOLLO;WINTER, 2002) refere-se a capacidade da empresa de administrar dinamicamente sua base de conhecimento ao longo do tempo, reconfigurando e realinhando os processos de investigação e prospecção de novos conhecimentos (exploration), e o aproveitamento e a retenção (exploitation) deste conhecimento na organização e em sua rede (LICHTENTHALER;LICHTENTHALER, 2009). Entende-se que, a abordagem da GovC (FOSS, 2007) destaca que os mecanismos de governança dos conhecimentos organizacionais devem ser intencionalmente implantados para influenciar e apoiar os comportamentos e o envolvimento dos membros da organização nos processos de conhecimento, com a intenção de mitigar os custos e os riscos das transações de transferência do conhecimento nas redes inter e intraorganizacionais.…”
