ABSTRACT: The rise of emerging markets is
restructuring the global economic and social landscape. It requires a new
paradigm of global innovation strategy to meet this challenge. After reviewing
possible trends in today’s world, it is suggested that the objective of
innovation is to create an inclusive-and-sustainable future. To achieve this
goal, this paper is concerned with the use of the Problem Structuring Methods
(PSMs) which encourage the participation of all stakeholders involved in
decision making and policy development. DPSIR
(Drivers-Pressures-States-Impacts-Responses) framework, a particular PSMs, is
employed to provide a systematic view in problem identification, analysis and
solving in terms of multiple perspectives of stakeholders.
