Front Cover
John Wiley & Sons, Dec 27, 2016 - Business & Economics - 240 pages

The book investigates the meaning of RRI if little or no valid knowledge about consequences of innovation and technology is available. It proposes a hermeneutical turn to investigate narratives about possible futures with respect to their contemporary meaning instead of regarding them as anticipations of the future.
