DENNIS WEST

Project: The formation of social-environmental metrics in organizations and fields... Why do metrics on carbon emissions prevail and those measuring workplace equality fail? How do organizations transit from multiple possibilities of governance to only a few generally accepted standards? Dennis studies how contested, ambiguous, and pressing social-environmental issues are measured and standardized. By taking multiple perspectives - across industries, over time, and within organizations - his research has the potential to help businesses, regulators, activists, and professionals to collaborate more effectively and align organizational values and technological systems for better governance and innovation...
