Fostering Sustainabi lity-Oriented Management Innovation: Dynamic Knowledge Transfer Capac ity and Effectuation in Technology-driven Contexts
My rese
arch is about how organizations can innovate more sustainably in a te
chnologically rapidly changing world. More and more companies are fac
ed with the challenge of not only making a profit, but also taking in
to account social and environmental sustainability. At the same time,
technology is changing rapidly, making it difficult to plan exactly
what works in advance.
I show that in a rapidly changing, tech
nologically driven world, organizations can innovate better and work
more sustainably if they combine two things well: sharing knowledge a
nd dealing flexibly with uncertainty.
Companies that are well
able to keep knowledge flowing between employees and departments can
learn and adapt faster. In addition, a flexible way of making decisio
ns, in which you do not predetermine everything, but rather experimen
t with what you have, helps to better deal with uncertain situations,
such as new technologies or market changes.
The most importan
t conclusion is that sustainable innovation does not only depend on t
echnology, but mainly on how people within organizations collaborate,
learn and make decisions.
