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.
Her research has been published in high impact academic and practitioner outlets, two ABS4*, three ABS4 (of which four papers are published in Top ‘FT50’ journals) and eleven ABS3. To date she has published 25 peer reviewed articles and 7 book chapters, using exploratory grounded theory and case studies, contributing for both theory and practice. These outlets include Research Policy (ABS4*/FT50), Journal of Operations Management (ABS4*/FT50), British Journal of Management (ABS4), Int. Journal of Operations & Production Management (ABS4), Journal of Management Studies (ABS4/FT50), Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly (ABS3), Entrepreneurship & Regional Development (ABS3); Small Business Economics (ABS3), Technovation (ABS3), California Management Review (ABS3 and FT50 at that time), Technological Forecasting & Social Change (ABS3), etc.. Other publications include high profile outlets that are influential in my fields, such as Journal of Business Venturing Insights (ABS2, IF: 6.06), Journal of Cleaner Production (ABS2, IF: 11.02) and Applied Energy (not an ABS but high IF of 9.70).
To date her research has been cited 3,357 times (H index: 21) as measured by Google Scholar and 1,783 times (H index: 18) according to Scopus. Dr. Matos is also Co-editor-in-chief of Technovation, a technology and innovation management journal, ABS 3, Impact Factor (2022): 11.373.
As head of the Centre for Social Innovation Management (CSIM), which currently has more than 30 affiliates, she has led and/or coordinated various successful research projects, workshops and webinars aiming to promote research and influence practice through public, academia and the media
