Overview:  

New, exponentially growing and adopted technologies are becoming key drivers of the economic and societal transition (Deloitte, 2017; Di Vaio et al., 2020; Loureiro et al., 2021). Common examples of such technologies include artificial intelligence and machine learning, additive manufacturing, augmented and virtual reality, digital biology and biotechnology, nanotechnologies, robotics, autonomous vehicles, among others (Haenlein & Kaplan, 2021; Kaplan & Haenlein, 2020). These novel technologies are impactful drivers of economic and societal transition due to a phenomenon known as “accelerated convergence” (Bohnsak et al., 2022; Deloitte, 2013). As technology adoption continues to grow exponentially, the interactions between the different subgroups of the technology will create a myriad of new opportunities for individuals, firms, industries, and societies (see also Dabrowska et al., 2022). The increasingly improving price-performance ratio, facilitated by cost reductions and substantial progress in areas such as computing power, bandwidth, and data storage, helps in providing efficient and effective solutions to today’s business problems, thereby making new technologies focal for firms’ competitive advantage (Arifin, 2019; Denning, 2022).  

New technologies may have a positive impact on many societal problems in novel and unpredictable ways (Fountaine, McCarthy, & Saleh, 2019; Margherita, 2022; Tuovinen, 2022). Consider, for instance, a medical device that uses advanced data science and artificial intelligence to enable physical sensors extrapolating the likelihood of disease (Houfani et al., 2  2021), or a solar-powered car that uses advanced lighting and touchscreen technology to enhance the driver’s comfort and travel safety (Ahmad et al., 2021). Moreover, Internet of Things may measure climate change parameters such as ocean temperature and monitor their trends in real time. In such cases, the value of new technologies goes beyond functionality, productivity, effectiveness or efficiency – in addition, technologies are capable of bringing about social change (den Hond & Moser, 2023; Kline, 2001).  

Firms can utilize new technologies to address grand challenges (den Hond & Moser, 2023), such as climate change (George et al., 2021) and achieving green growth (Fernandes et al., 2021). Furthermore, new forms of organizations that utilize new technologies, such as digital platforms (e.g., the Next Closet) or machine learning, can enable circular business models, allowing for more efficient use of resources and the circulation of excess resources across different stakeholders (Blackburn et al., 2023; Ciulli et al., 2020), and support sustainable business models (Ferreira et al., 2021). In addition, digital platforms can also be used to scale up solutions for societal challenges, as occurred in the case of Patient Innovation platform for disseminating knowledge on chronic disease prevention (Rauch & Ansari, 2022). Nonetheless, the intricate nature of digital platforms, which are sometimes social enterprises, might lead to emergence of tensions between social (and environmental) objectives and economic objectives (Kannothra et al., 2018).  

The potential embedded in new technologies calls for collaboration between management, business, and society scholars to address global challenges that captivate academic attention (Brammer et al., 2022). When applied to societal challenges, new exponential technologies can create sustainable solutions, although research still lacks evidence on the when, how, and why of their impact.  

The role of new technologies in business and society debates has predominantly been examined from limited, instrumental perspectives (Haefner et al., 2021; Loureiro et al. 2021). However, since technology is presented as a solution to pressing social problems and grand challenges, it requires a comprehensive examination. Given the multitude of societal challenges we face (post-Covid-19, resource preservation, climate change, social stability), a multidisciplinary approach is crucial (Brown et al., 2022; de Bakker et al., 2019). This special issue focuses on the social good dimension; i.e., what improves or reduces the well-being of society (Crane et al., 2015). By society, we mean the “system” (Luhmann, 1995), the “structures and interactions” (Giddens, 1984) that pursues interests that may overlap, but often transcend, the narrow profit goals of the individual company (Tykkyläinen & Ritala, 2021). Social issues include the well-being ramifications ensuing from climate change and loss of biodiversity, poor working conditions across supply chains, and relationships between corporations and local communities.  

New technologies can offer multiple types of organizations a range of benefits; however, there are various tensions and complexities that should be resolved to reach both social and economic goals. In fact, the development of new technologies clearly requires increased costs and augmented efforts. For example, according to institutional theory, organizations often integrate different institutional logics, including a philanthropic social logic that operates through nonprofit legal structures, and a market logic driven by sales revenues and for-profit models (Smith et al., 2013). The combination of these diverse logics (Pache and Santos, 2010; Stubbs, 2017) becomes crucial to understand organizations that purposefully and simultaneously generate economic, social, and/or environmental value to intentionally transform the market structure (McMullen & Warnick, 2016). Additional motivations for exploring the phenomenon arise 3  from the paradox theory (Smith & Levis, 2011; Smith & Tracey, 2016), which suggests that the paradoxical tensions experienced at the individual level impact the relationship between organizations and individuals.More concretely, the convergence of non-economic opportunities and the coalescence of different, even opposing, stakeholders following divergent logics and pursuing conflicting missions may explain why firms and organizations can suffer from greater tensions, and the ways in which they are capable to manage these tensions ultimately determine their impact and longevity (Battilana et al., 2015; Markman et al., 2016). This unique setting, coupled with the opportunities of new technologies, is the core interest of this special issue.  

This special issue invites researchers to (1) examine the impact of new technologies on a range of economic, social, and environmental issues (2) investigate how a social issue impacts the choices of an organization to adopt new technologies; and, more broadly, (3) explain how and why new technologies can support multiple types of organizations in pursuing a social issue as they struggle to innovate and cultivate new capabilities to respond, adapt, and thrive their businesses. We welcome conceptual, empirical, and methodological contributions from various research fields, from micro-level studies of business functions to macro-oriented analyses of firms, organizations, ecosystems, and industries, exploring how new technologies can be used to fulfill societal needs. As such, we aim to open avenues on how and why new technologies may turn helpful for the good of our society and raise new ethical, normative, or social considerations for business to address. Therefore, this call for papers offers a timely focus to explore a range of relevant open issues on the role of new technologies in improving community and societal well-being when they are properly applied by and within firms and organizations.  

Overall, we envision of receiving submissions from business and society scholars, as well as from business and management scholars and practitioners interested in elaborating policy guidelines and managerial implications. We encourage business and society scholars who draw from multiple scientific fields – including psychology, sociology, ecology, public policy, environmental studies, and various branches of socio-ecological studies (such as, among others, environmental ethics) – to submit research outcomes that significantly contribute to this debate. However, authors must also consider that the primary audience of Business & Society is business schools, and therefore their manuscripts must address this audience in a way that is meaningful and relevant.  

Below listed are some key themes and questions that illustrate intriguing topics to tackle. The key themes and the questions are neither exhaustive nor comprehensive, and we welcome other complementary lines of investigation addressing the connection between the rise of new technologies and business and society. We particularly welcome submissions that take a multidisciplinary and comprehensive perspective, and favor submissions spreading out from all the world’s geographies and cultures.
