    Dear colleagues,

    Apologies for cross-posting.
    A reminder of our call for papers: "Inclusive Innovation: Practices, Processes, and Partnerships in Building
    economies and communities", for the Critical Management Studies conference (CMS) Britannia Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool, UK from July 3 – 5 and hosted by Edge Hill University, UK. 
    The deadline has now been extended to 10th February.

    We welcome critical papers within a wide range of theoretical and methodological frameworks, including feminist, postcolonial, poststructuralist, transnational, STS, etc. that explore issues of power, social inclusion, social policy, organisational processes and practices and, among others, address the following questions:

    1. What are the possible meanings and conceptualisations of inclusive innovation and what
    shapes does inclusive innovation take?
    2. Which practices can foster an inclusive innovation process?
    3. How are spaces appropriated and distributed in an inclusive innovation process?
    4. What policies would encourage/ facilitate inclusive innovation processes?
    5. How do multi-party networks (government, organizations, communities) dis/encourage
    inclusive innovation processes?
    6. How does an inclusive innovation look like? How do large multinationals, small
    entrepreneurial firms or social firms do inclusive innovation? What is the interplay between
    different types of players/organisations in driving inclusive innovation forward?
    7. Embodied theories of innovation: how is innovation done in different geographical areas?
    8. How is access to innovation (including funding and space) negotiated among stakeholders
    (e.g. governments, organisations, communities)? Who are the beneficiaries of innovation and
    how are the benefits of innovation distributed?

    More information in the attached pdf - we look forward to your submissions! Please send them to the stream conveners: banu.ozkazanc-pan@umb.edu; l.pecis@lancaster.ac.uk; Cinzia.Priola@open.ac.uk

    Best wishes,
