INNOVATION :

Should be a proactive process to adapt to changes in the environment (new technologies, new markets, new competitors, new challenges, new

economics and societal context) / accelerator of change

Not only technological but alsosocietal, conceptual, organizational, administrative

It’s not : Creativity : a mindset needed in innovation as in many other fields

Discovery : e.g. an unknow physical phenomenon « electricity »

Invention : new way for realizing something e.g. « dynamo »

It’s the practical application of something new e.g.« electricaldistribution »

The link between research and innovation is not automatic nordirect ! The « European Paradox »: good in research, bad in innovation.

“Official” definition (Oslo Manual, OECD 2005)

Technological product and process (TPP) innovations comprise implemented technologically new products and processes and significant technological improvements in products and processes.

A TPP innovation has been implemented if it has been introduced on the market (product innovation) or used within a production process (process innovation).

TPP innovations involve a series of scientific, technological, organisational, financial and commercial activities.

NB : The minimum entry is that the product or process should be new (or significantly improved) to the firm (it does not have to be new to the world).

What is Responsible Innovation ?

Completely different from Responsible Research which is dealing with integrity (method, reporting, evaluation, reproducibility, incentives), open access etc.

My own definition : An innovation can be considered as responsible if it is performed by fairly applying the best practices of corporate social practices and if it contributes to sustainable development.

It requires that CSR practices should integrate the 6 P global view and Responsible Innovation, it means that

A company should have a mission, where profit is not the main objective but a necessity for fulfilling this one.

At the final stage of the innovation process CSR should converge to ESG (Environment, Society & Governance).
