Overview: Technological and scientific innovation does not simply emerge; it is designed. From organizational systems and data infrastructures to platforms, policies, and everyday tools, design choices shape how power operates, whose knowledge counts, and who benefits from innovation. Technology, Management, and Design for Social Justice brings together global scholars and practitioners to critically examine how design, management, and technological systems reproduce inequality, and how they can be intentionally reimagined to advance equity, dignity, and planetary wellbeing.
Moving beyond views of technology as neutral or inevitable, this volume positions design as a moral and political practice embedded in institutions and governance. Through conceptual frameworks and global case studies spanning algorithmic management, climate-oriented innovation, indigenous digital infrastructures, youth innovation ecosystems, and welfare technologies, the chapters show how justice is designed into (or out of) sociotechnical systems.
