Innovations is a peer-reviewed academic journal that focuses on entrepreneurial solutions to global challenges. It is published quarterly by the MIT Press.

History

Innovations published its first issue in 2006. It complements existing policy journals such as Foreign Affairs by focusing on micro-level solutions, innovations, and entrepreneurship in a variety of organizational settings.[1] The editors are Philip E. Auerswald and Iqbal Z. Quadir.

Partnerships and special editions

The journal is jointly hosted at George Mason University's School of Public Policy, Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, and MIT's Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship. Working with the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, Innovations has produced special editions for the 2008 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum[2] and the 2008 World Economic Forum on the Middle East (in Arabic and English).[3]

Structure of the journal

Each issue of Innovations consists of four sections:

Cases authored by innovators

A differentiating feature of Innovations is that the case about innovators addressing global challenges are authored by the innovators themselves. Each includes discussion of motivations, challenges, strategies, outcomes, and unintended consequences. Following each case narrative, we present commentary by an academic discussant. The discussant highlights the aspects of the innovation that are analytically most interesting, have the most significant implications for policy, and/or best illustrate reciprocal relationships between technology and governance.

Authors and co-authors of Innovations case narratives and discussions have included Seth Berkley, Larry Brilliant, John Elkington, Matt Flannery (co-founder of Kiva (organization)), Peter Gabriel, Robin Hanson, Richard Anthony Jefferson, Victoria Hale, Cory Ondrejka, and Bunker Roy.
