Publisher Description

Challenge-based research focuses on addressing societal and environmental problems. One way of doing so is by transforming existing businesses to profitable ventures through co-creation and co-evolution. Drawing on the resource-based view, this book discusses how social challenges can be linked with the industrial value-chain through collaborative research, knowledge sharing, and transfer of technology to deliver value. 
The work is divided into three sections: Part 1 discusses social challenges, triple bottom line, and entrepreneurship as drivers for research, learning, and innovation while Part 2 links challenge-based research to social and industrial development in emerging markets. The final section considers research-based innovation and the role of technology, with the final chapter bridging concepts and practices to shape the future of society and industry. The authors present the RISE paradigm, which integrates people (society), planet (sustainability), and profit (industry and business) as critical constructs for socio-economic and regional development. 
Arguing that the converging of society and industry is essential for the business ecosystem to stay competitive in the marketplace, this book analyzes possible approaches to linking challenge-based research with social and industrial innovations in the context of sectoral challenges like food production, housing, energy, biotechnology, and sustainability. It will serve as a valuable resource to researchers interested in topics such as social challenges, innovation, technology, sustainability, and society-industry linkage.

Table of Contents

Prologue: Challenges in innovation and technology, channelizing research, social learning, industrial development prospects, social developmentChapter 1: Social Challenges in Developing Economies: Converging Research and Industrial NeedsSocial entrepreneurial initiatives have been widely targeted towards meeting the social challenges. The government policies and enterprises of different sizes and competence have become a key area of interest exploring solutions to the social problems. Studies conducted in developed countries have shown that the crucial determinants in social development involve the contribution of explorative research mediated by industrial interventions, moral obligation, social-efficacy, and perceived social support82. This chapter discusses social ecosystem and the attributes of sectoral challenges in food production, poverty, housing, energy, water management, health, sustainability, digitalization, and other vulnerable problems. The possible research-based solutions to these problems in context of the changing needs and lifestyle of people have been discussed in this chapter links the contributions of industry and government. Discussions on public policies, governance, and corporate social responsibilities are also central to this chapter. Social behavior involves many processes including cognitive functions and collective decisions. Poor social environment affects development and maturation of cognitive functions that are important for social cognition, possibly introducing social stress and vulnerability to stress. Therefore, this chapter addresses the rationale, strategy, and benefit to connect research with industry contributions to find effective solutions for the social problems83.
Keywords: Social challenges, social ecosystem, lifestyle, social needs, research-based solutions, public policies, governance, corporate social responsibility
Chapter 2: People, Planet, and Profit: Crossing the Triple Bottom LineThe triple bottom line (TBL) comprises people, planet, and profit, which is encourages sustainable innovations, technology, and manufacturing. The three components of the TBL encourage the collaboration among society, academics, and industry. The TBL goals embrace social equity, economy, and environment. The words people, planet, and profit are often used to denote TBL and the desired goals o related business within the sustainability framework84. This chapter discusses people's perspectives on sustainable innovation and technology complying with the concept of TBL. The participatory social development in co-creating innovations through reserve accountability and sustainable business modeling benefits consumers and stakeholders at the grassroots. In addition, this chapter discusses collective development design through challenge-based research and engaging industries with design-to society and design-to-value goals85. The corporate citizenship behavior has also been discussed in this chapter. This chapter contributes to providing a critical analysis of sustainable development of micro-manufacturing sectors and corporate citizenship behavior within the TBL concept.
Keywords: Triple bottom line, reverse accountability, stainable business models, corporate citizenship, sustainable innovation, technology, collective designing
Chapter 3: Sensitizing Entrepreneurship: Managing Growth TouchpointsIt has been observed in the developing countries that despite increasingly evolving relationship among government, social institutions, and corporations, the entrepreneurship strategies and economic growth are considerably underexplored and conceptually underdeveloped86. Therefore, it is necessary to sensitize the entrepreneurship with market-driven skills, innovations, technology, and business models. This chapter addresses the resource management in micro, small, and medium enterprises in the context of raw materials, finance, human capital, skill development, technology, manufacturing, and operations. While integrating innovation and technology to meet the social challenges, the evolution and management of social enterprises are of higher concern in developing entrepreneurship at the bottom-of-the-pyramid than developing them as small business units. Accordingly, this chapter discusses creativity through social collaboration in co-creating innovative ideas, designs, and prototypes for commercialization. The discussions in this chapters are also central to the topics on marketing, entrepreneurial training, technology acceptance, empowerment, equality, expansion, and tapping new revenue streams. Sensitizing entrepreneurship is, thus, a necessity for economic development. Entrepreneurship is a channel linking institutions and economic performance, which contributes to the gross domestic product, national income, productivity, employment, and regional economic growth87.
Keywords: Entrepreneurship, resource management, creativity, manufacturing, marketing,skill development, technology, empowerment
Chapter 4: Challenge-based Research: Foundations, Functionality and Future PerspectivesThis chapter discusses the fundamental attributes of social challenges in developing economies, which ARE spread across several social problems encompassing poverty, agricultural production technology, agribusiness, energy, social health, housing, sustainability, services, and many others. The epistemological evolution of learning theories, and exploratory research have been discussed at length to describe the evolution of research linked development in society and industry over the conventional wisdom. Linking research to innovation has opened the industrial and marketing avenues to meet the changing needs and solutions in developing countries88. Such research-linked development paradigm in exploring the solution of real problems has been adopted by many mainstream industries. This chapter discusses the research design process and strategies for effective implementation of innovation-based research projects89. The collaboration and convergence within the public-private partnership has been discussed in the chapter besides categorically discussions on the prospects of hybridity between the social and business development models.
Keywords: Challenge-based research, epistemologies, research design, industry and society, collaborative research, prospects
Chapter 5: Linking Research and Business: Raising Social WellbeingOver the years, growing number of researchers have sought to understand and develop logical frameworks with factors that influence and constitute social wellbeing and its potential synergy with quadruple factors comprising society, entrepreneurship, industry, and sustainability. Recent studies have highlighted some factors constituting social wellbeing that are not only related to income- generation activities, but also concerned with the social cognition and continuous learning90. This chapter discusses social and interactive learning through research-based business modeling and practice by connecting society and business domains including large corporations and alliance enterprises (global-local firms) engaged in continuous innovation and technology development. This chapter also discusses customer-centricity and social well beingness and effecting value management among the customer and stakeholders of an entrepreneurial firm. The discussion on co-creation and coevolution are also in focus among the core discussions in this chapter related to research and business networks. Innovation and technology critically contribute to the social wellbeing in resource-deprived regions, which are catalytic in poverty reduction and wellbeing enhancement on a local a scale besides the global impact91.
Keywords: Convergence, research and business, interactive learning, co-creation, coevolution,customer centricity, value-chain management
Chapter 6: Research Technology and Institutions: Fostering Role, Relationship, and ResponsivenessContribution of academic institutions in the research for industry support has been increasing with the advancement of technology. Continuous changes in business environment, advances in information technology, and the dominance of networked economy have reduced the gap between academic institutions and industries in collaborative research, designing, prototype development, and their implementation92. The technology universities are also significantly contributing to the changes in business- to-business commerce. This chapter discusses the current trends in the industrial research and the extent of academic collaboration in supporting innovation and new product development. The discussions bridge the gaps between social needs and availability of technology by analyzing the role of industries in social development. This chapter is evolved around the role of academic institutions in offering process consultancy to industries in commercializing new products and synchronizing on-going research with industries and society. In addition, it also emphasizes the attributes and the process of developing responsive technologies with academic collaboration. Synergy between value and capabilities among academics, business partners and technology providers are crucial for industries to make effective decisions and enhance supplier and customer relationships93. This chapter addresses the synergy across the research and industry towards contributing to the social development.
Keywords: Universities, industrial research, collaboration, institutional coordination,responsive technologies
Chapter 7: Research-based Innovation: Economics, Transferability, and ConsumerismThe economics of innovation is a major point of consideration in promoting innovations in micro, small, and medium enterprises. Most entrepreneurs still treat innovation as a secondary issue on their agendas due the resource limitations and high costs. This problem results into the inefficient industry alliances and poor marketing. It is not possible to develop innovative products in a systematic way without streamlining the economic perspectives, diffusion of innovation, and developing consumerism94. Therefore, creativity is necessary to drive the behavioral transformation and support innovations. This chapter discusses the attributes of innovation taxonomy comprising frugal innovation, reverse innovation, incremental innovation, and others. The economics of innovation is discussed in the context of resource management, cost-structure, and returns on investment. The challenges in diffusion of innovation, social benefits, consumerism, and growth are discussed in the chapter. Social networks and in-store demonstrations are the key factors for spreading information on innovation, experience sharing, and for developing trust among consumers. The sociological knowledge can accelerate and inhibit innovation diffusion among consumers95. The diffusion process of innovation has been discussed in this chapter.
Keywords: Economics of innovation, diffusion, consumerism, innovation taxonomy, social benefits, stakeholder value
Chapter 8: Technology Thrust: Design, Development, and DiffusionThe advancement of technology in the manufacturing, operations, marketing, communication, and customer relations has created a wider outreach among enterprises and customers. The 3Ds comprising design, development, and diffusion have gained attention in the recent past to extend the technology benefits to micro, small, and medium enterprises in developing countries96. This chapter discusses the economics of technology in the context of cost, time, returns, and risks by evaluating the technology lifecycle and technology acceptance model. The development of research-based technology designs through technology alliances, diffusion, and growth has been categorically discussed with focus on problems in various social sectors (food production, biotechnology, natural resource management, health, housing, and sustainability). The chapter also discusses the global initiatives and local implementation of technology in developing countries. The explicit discussions in this chapter argue that the major criterion that governs technologies the today is about the use value and convenience. This chapter categorically addresses the taxonomy of technology divided into the three broad domains comprising physical, psychological, and social wellbeing. Commonly, wellbeing can be understood as either happiness or eudaimonia, which is improved continuously through the technology updates and incremental social innovations97.
Keywords: Technology design, development, diffusion, economics of technology, global and local initiatives, technology alliances, transfer of technology
Chapter 9: Bridging Concepts and Practices: Shaping the FutureThis chapter summarizes the social challenges and the need for convergence of research and technology with industries to drive integrated social development. Bridging the conventional wisdom and contemporary practices in managing persistent social challenges like food production, energy, health, housing, sustainability through innovation and technology-led collaborations. This chapter addresses future vision of academics, industry, society, and public policies to meet the social challenges. This involves blending of core knowledge activities and key links in the process of the University-Industry-Research (U-I-R) targeted to collaborative innovation based on knowledge chain98. The chapter also discusses the management of constructed knowledge pools of the University-Industry-Research (U-I-R) collaborative innovation and technology. This chapter argues that by means of complementarity of functions, coordination of behaviors, and sharing of resources among the three domains of U-I-R, the collaborative innovation tends to raise efficiency in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. The future of U-I-R is expected to cultivate high quality results in people-led development, explore collective talents, and maximize overall social and economic benefits99.
Keywords: University-industry research, innovation, technology, future prespectives
