OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Innovation for the 2030s and onwards: beyond technology
Marc Ventresca convenes three Oxford-affiliated researchers whose work plays a critical role in this rethink about the agenda for innovation.
Joseph Schumpeter, one of the 20th century’s greatest economic thinkers, believed that entrepreneurial activity was the cornerstone of capitalism. But much of the ‘innovation’ practice and research in recent decades has de facto emphasised technology rather than the social as the primary driver in sector after sector.
The unsettled nature of these early decades of the 21st century provides reasons to reflect and rethink that technology focus, with critical innovations in civil society, infrastructure, and the firm that highlight a move ‘beyond the tech.’
We need to learn from our recent history while keeping an eye on the dynamics of the Fourth Industrial Revolution where emerging technologies foreground questions of governance and ethics.
We live in times when distributional equity and inequity foreground agendas and issues and the role of innovation is critical for corporations and governments in building markets and shaping wellbeing in the decades ahead.
