Responsible Innovation (RI) has increasingly attracted attention in academic research and business practice for UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Especially, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) highlights RI as a key concept to address how to institutionalize and organize action programs to solve grand challenges. However, we know little about the determinants of organizing RI in business. By applying agile management and stakeholder theory, this study proposes the critical organizational factors to implement RI, namely: Organizational Agility and Communicative Actions. Based on the large-scale data analysis of 13,234 South Korean manufacturing firms during the period between 1999 and 2019, this paper investigates whether and how organizational factors can affect RI in the Asian context, using the zero-inflated negative binomial regression model. Findings show that well-organized agile management and communicative actions with stakeholders are essential to enhance RI performance in a holistic view. This study contributes to the recently emerging field of RI and offers novel theoretical and practical implications for academics and practitioners regarding the underlying mechanism of organizing RI.

负责任的创新 (RI) 在联合国可持续发展目标 (SDG) 的学术研究和商业实践中越来越受到关注。特别是，联合国亚洲及太平洋经济社会委员会 (UNESCAP) 强调 RI 是解决如何制度化和组织行动计划以解决重大挑战的关键概念。然而，我们对在企业中组织 RI 的决定因素知之甚少。通过应用敏捷管理和利益相关者理论，本研究提出了实施 RI 的关键组织因素，即：组织敏捷性和沟通行动。基于 1999 年至 2019 年期间 13,234 家韩国制造企业的大规模数据分析，本文调查了亚洲背景下组织因素是否以及如何影响 RI，使用零膨胀负二项式回归模型。调查结果表明，组织良好的敏捷管理和与利益相关者的沟通行动对于整体提升 RI 绩效至关重要。本研究对最近兴起的 RI 领域做出了贡献，并为学者和实践者提供了关于组织 RI 的潜在机制的新颖理论和实践意义。
