Abstract：
Analyzing the impact of a sustainability agenda in research and innovation on system transition is a critical research topic. This literature stream aims to examine how research and innovation can deal with wicked-problems at a dynamic system level to create more sustainable future systems. However, this study addresses two main issues in the current sustainability transition literature. First, the literature to date offers little insight into concrete implications for the management of innovation processes at the organizational level. Second, sustainability is often addressed as per se desirable. While the concept of Sustainable Innovation (SI) can valuably contribute in addressing the first issue by providing essential features to analyze business management procedures and their broader implications on socio-technical systems, it falls short in addressing the second issue. Essential aspects of sustainability, such as the responsibility for potential future trade-offs through innovation, are not strategically integrated into the current framework. This study argues that without strategic integration of responsibility, there is a risk of contributing to a partially-sustainable-\"irresponsible\"-socio-technical system change as a result of business innovation activities. Therefore, an extended innovation process model for sustainability to embed responsibility at the core of innovation activities is required. For this purpose, the framework of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is utilized. This paper reports on findings from a systematic literature review of a representative sample of empirical studies from the SI and RRI literature. Thereby, the goal was to extend the understanding of management opportunities within innovation processes for sustainability through the implementation of RRI principles, in order to create sustainable socio-technical systems.
摘要：
分析可持续发展议程在研究和创新中对系统过渡的影响是一个重要的研究课题。此文献流旨在研究研究和创新如何在动态系统级别处理邪恶的问题，以创建更可持续的未来系统。然而,这项研究解决了当前可持续发展转型文献中的两个主要问题。首先,迄今为止的文献对组织层面的创新过程管理的具体影响提供了很少的见解。第二,可持续性往往是根据本身的需要来解决的。虽然可持续创新（SI）的概念可以通过提供基本特征来分析业务管理程序及其对社会技术系统的更广泛影响来解决第一个问题，它不足以解决第二个问题。可持续性的基本方面，例如通过创新对未来潜在权衡的责任，没有战略性地整合到当前的框架中。这项研究认为，如果没有责任的战略整合，由于业务创新活动，存在导致部分可持续的“不负责任的”社会技术系统变革的风险。因此,需要一个可持续发展的创新过程模型，将责任嵌入创新活动的核心。为此,利用负责任的研究与创新(RRI)框架。本文报告了SI和RRI文献中代表性实证研究样本的系统文献综述的结果。因此，目标是通过实施RRI原则，扩大对可持续发展创新过程中管理机会的理解，以创造可持续的社会技术系统。
