Periodic Reporting for period 1 - LNETN (Legitimation of Newness and Its Impact on EU Agenda for Change)
Période du rapport: 2020-01-01 au 2021-12-31
Problem addressed
UNCERTAINTY and NEWNESS define the scope of LNETN. UNCERTAINTY defined as any lack of sure knowledge about the course of past, present, future, or hypothetical events. NEWNESS defined as new ventures, business ideas, products, technology, industry or sector, policy, forms of organizing, categories, and organization practices. The problem LNETN addresses is defined by the PARADOX OF NEWNESS under uncertainty in various contexts. On one side, newness under uncertainty has a high potential for HIGH INNOVATIVE POWER. On the other, newness has a high potential for a NEGATIVE SOCIAL IMPACT.
Importance for society
Extant challenges in conveying and effecting innovation, change and coherence in policy development in the EU and globally support the assertion that legitimation of newness is under-researched and misinterpreted. In our society of rapid change, seeking to cope with complex, large scale new challenges to economic, social and political development, the urgent need for new legitimation perspectives, theories, approaches and methods to address how best to interpret and respond to newness, committing to and ensuring a positive social impact is still there.
Overall objectives
LNETN OVERALL OBJECTIVE: to address how to best interpret and respond to newness.
LNETN MAIN OBJECTIVES:
MO1: To establish a unique doctoral training and research ETN in an intense learning environment for the training of 15 ESRs with three core training features: theory building; quadruple-i (inter-disciplinary, inter-sectoral, inter-technology and international) research and training; and high level transferable and subject specific skills for future leaders;
MO2: Formation of a generation of entrepreneurial researchers/practitioners committed to and capable of exploiting and communicating synergies between different perspectives of newness, legitimacy and theory building to optimize innovation and contribute to European economic, social and political growth.
MO3: 15 innovative, legitimation of newness and theory building research projects (mentored by non-academic partners adopting Industrial Doctorate approach) addressing contemporary real world challenges involving non-academic partners, to develop a community of highly skilled, innovative, impact focused legitimation of newness and TBR scientists in Europe, bridging practice and theory.

LNTEN rests on 3 pillars: legitimation, newness, and theory building. Each ESR project aims to build a theoretical, practitioner, and policy-oriented framework(s) at the intersection of these three pillars AND specific context and theoretical frameworks s/he studies and employs.
In first 6-months, ESRs revised their research proposals and drafted theory building chapters at the intersection identified above. They continued their theory building activities in 2021 which resulted in the development of series of beyond-state-of-the-art theoretical, practitioner, and policy-oriented frameworks, e.g. (in brackets the planned empirical contexts of respective studies):
ESR01: typology of emergence of newness (Gambling, Consulting)
ESR02: process model of co-emergence and co-impact of new institutional policies and organizational processes (Life science industries; Medical technology)
ESR03: new business-policy relationship framework (Sector NGOs; Fintech)
ESR04: model and typology of fluid ethics (Vertical farming; Social enterprises)
ESR05: institutional genealogy regulatory framework (Bioeconomy/BioEnergy)
ERS06: process model of sociology of expectations and technological innovation (FinTech)
ESR07: process model of legitimation based on technology and values and typology of business model outcomes based on social contestation and construction (IoT)
ESR08: framework that explores legitimacy and sustainability challenges of emerging business models (Smart Energy)
ESR09: framework of representation of innovation and change (Dining out as experiences; creative industries)
ESR10: legitimation-business model regulatory framework to research emergence of new technologies (5G/6G networks)
ESR11: dynamic mapping of legitimation and legitimacy and their mechanisms (Metaverse; Social enterprise)
ESR12: legitimacy framework of new platform business models (GDPR; Legal; Digital Marketing; Advertising)
ESR13: business model-legitimation framework to restructure organizations (AI; data-based health services)
ESR14: typology of legitimation of authentic leadership at the intersection of tradition and modernity (Brexit)
ESR15: process model of institutional disruption and typology of blended hybridization (FinTech)
ESRs presented and published these preliminary results during various scientific and public fora. They will continue working on, refining their initial frameworks, testing, validating them in various empirical contexts, incl., during their secondments, and publishing, disseminating, and communicating their results.
