Description
The Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, Tata Institute of Social Sciences is organising a three day National Conference cum Research Workshop on "Technology, Innovation and Social Change" during 16-18 August, 2012. The aim of the Conference is to provide a platform to academicians, policy makers and practitioners from multiple disciplines for debating and deliberating on social change that is encompassed by innovation and technology.
Research Questions
The proposed Workshop cum Conference will throw light on nature, significance as well as relationship among technology, innovation and social change. We submit the following research questions to kick-start the process. These questions are indicative in nature and must not limit creative participation of scholars, practitioners and policy makers to add to the list.
  • What is the role of technology in social change?
  • Are there specific technologies that have boosted enterprises and provide space for experimentation?
  • What kind of capabilities our research and educational institutions must develop to produce new technologies?
  • What kind of technologies exists and deployed for the grassroots?
  • What are the enterprises and models and how are they working to transfer technologies for social transformation?
  • What is the role of leadership for deployment of technology in bringing social change?
  • What are innovative practices (formal and informal) that have resulted in producing new technologies with social mission?
  • Is Corporate Social Responsibility fostering social change?
  • What is the role of Government in promoting ‘technology for social change’?
  • Are there traditional knowledge and technologies fostered by communities for their own well being? How do they operate?
  • What are the technological inventions that have changed the social orgnanisations?
We invite papers, both theoretical and empirical, that address one or more research questions mentioned above. Authors can also send papers on other related research questions.
