As technological innovations occur at an ever-increasing pace, they force changes both within organisations and in the contexts in which they operate. At the same time, major shifts have been occurring, on a global scale and at both economic and social levels, since the global financial crisis.

We are therefore interested in understanding these changes and how they interrelate; in their impact on business processes, learning and performance; and in how innovation can be a means of adapting to and leading the way with respect to these changes.
