Shallow vs. Deep Geoethics: Moving Beyond Anthropocentric Views
At its inception, geoethics was envisioned as a type of professional ethics concerned with the moral implications of geoscientific research, applications, and practices. More recently, however, some scholars have proposed versions of geoethics as public and global ethics. To better understand these developments, this article considers the relationship between geoethics and environmental ethics by exploring different aspects of the human-nature relation (i.e., the moral status and role of humans in relation to the non-human world).
Socio-technical imaginaries of a circular economy in governmental discourse and among science, technology, and innovation actors: A Norwegian case study

However, surprisingly little attention has focused on how CE discourses interact with science, technology, and innovation (ST&I) actors.

Transforming Innovation Management: Implications of Digitalization for the Organization and Management of Innovation in Leading Brazilian Incumbents
The digitalization of businesses is a pervasive tide of innovation whose challenges the literature increasingly addresses.
