| Tiivistelmä: | Contemporary frameworks for evaluating technological innovations contend that innovative success is upon the ability of companies to acquire and assimilate new knowledge without disrupting value chain members such as suppliers, customers and complementary innovators. These frameworks, however, provide little advice on how to deal with radical, controversial innovations that may also introduce new undesirable environmental, health, and social side affects. In addition to technological, commercial and organizational uncertainties, the developers of such technology typically must resolve social uncertainties, a particularly difficult activity because of the added complexities and often conflicting and/or difficult-to-reconcile concerns from secondary stakeholders. Attempts must be made to address the potential unintended and unforseen consequences of the technology, as well as its potential benefits, if it is to be successfully applied. Using Mosanto's development of agricultural biotechnology as an illustration, the study suggests an evaluation framework that incorporates stakeholder theory, innovation management concepts and Popper's evolutionary learning methodology of science and its extensions to social issues. |
