The Imperative Nexus: Technology, Management, and Social Justice in the 21st Century Reconfiguring the Technological Condition
摘要
This chapter introduces the Justice-Centered Technology Management (JCTM) framework, positioning management as a central arena for addressing technological injustice. Integrating critical management studies, actor–network theory, intersectionality, capabilities, and commons scholarship, it reconceptualizes technology as a socio-political system shaped by power, history, and ecology. The chapter identifies four dialectical dynamics: power asymmetries, temporal justice, scalability tensions, and ecological embeddedness and proposes organizational and policy pathways for redistributive, participatory, and sustainable technological governance. It concludes by linking theory to practice through the book’s three parts, design, implementation, and outcomes, offering an integrative roadmap for aligning innovation with justice and planetary well-being.
