Chapter 17 in Unknown Values and Stakeholders, 2017, pp 243-254 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Innovation comes about when it is mature from an intellectual point of view (Kuhn 1970). Parallel to the stakeholder analysis we performed in Chap. 8, we also need to consider the professions that can produce the knowledge we need to become aware of the inequality of working conditions across the competitive divide. Like other inequalities–and in the responsibility and accountability of organizations not subject to competition–this analysis is not evident per se. We have introduced a process framework to detect responsibility and accountability within organizations (Chap. 15) and case histories to illustrate responsibility and accountability across organizations (Chap. 16). Now we want to consider the skills that are necessary and the professionals that work in the field of responsibility and accountability. Currently, accountants and public relations professionals are in a better position vis-à-vis organizations to perform the role of the mentor towards responsibility and accountability. However, our reformulation of responsibility in the core activities of organizations requires more skills as it is useful to have in mind a model of what the organization is about in order to report about it.
