JOURNAL EDITORSHIPS
2006-present
Co-founder and co-editor, Innovations: Technology | Governance | Globalization, published by MIT Press
In eight years of publication, I have led the editorial team that has established Innovations as the premier academic journal on the topic of entrepreneurial solutions to global challenges.
The Innovations author list includes three former and one current head of state (including U.S. Presidents Carter and Clinton); a Nobel Laureate in Economics; founders and executive directors of some of the 飞辞谤濒诲鈥檚 leading companies, venture capital firms, and foundations; MacArthur Fellows, Skoll awardees, Ashoka Fellows; and, of course, outstanding academic contributors. While Foreign Affairs and the Harvard Business Review have a much higher circulation than Innovations, the authors they attract are no more impressive.
My Innovations colleagues and I have produced special editions of the journal in partnership with the World Economic Forum, the GSM Association, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Lemelson Foundation, Ashoka, the Skoll Foundation, 惭滨罢鈥檚 Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship, the Gates Foundation, and SOCAP.
Citation analysis indicates that the 箩辞耻谤苍补濒鈥檚 academic impact matches or exceeds that of recently launched competitors such as the Stanford Social Innovation Review as well as other journals in the market space of Innovations that have been in print for decades, notably Technology in Society and Daedalus. Users download over 60,000 full-text PDFs per year from the 箩辞耻谤苍补濒鈥檚 website.
1991-2005
