Abstract
This entry explores the inclusion of non-humans – such as nature, animals and ecosystems – as stakeholders in innovation management. While previous research has focused on human stakeholders in innovation processes, the role of non-human stakeholders has been largely overlooked. This entry argues that considering current sustainability challenges, acknowledging and including non-humans as stakeholders is both crucial and urgent. The entry relies on three practical examples that help illustrate how the voice and agency of non-human stakeholders have been recognized and integrated into innovation management processes. By expanding the understanding of innovation management to include non-humans, this entry paves the way for a more inclusive, ethical and sustainable future.
