Dr Stelvia Matos
About
Biography
Stelvia is a Reader (Associate Professor) in Social Innovation & Sustainability Management and Head of the Centre for Social Innovation Management at Surrey Business School. Her research focuses on understanding the complex interactions among social, environmental and economic factors, and how they affect and are affected by innovation dynamics, entrepreneurial behaviour and policy development. This includes the difficult process of responding to technological and social change through innovation, which can be conceptualized as a panacea and paradox - a main driver of social improvement but also the cause of many problems faced by society. She has published in several journals including Entreppreneurship & Reginonal Development, Journal of Operations Mangament, International Journal of Operations & Production Management, Technovation, California Management Review, Small Business Economics, Journal of Cleaner Production and Journal of Management Studies. Stelvia is currently Co-Editor-in-Chief for Technovation, a leading technology and innovation management journal.
