Resumo(s)
In today’s paradigm, innovation is a differentiating factor that drives value creation to
contemporary organizations, but ethical concerns are often neglected during the idea
selection phase. This study addresses this gap by identifying and validating a set of ethical
criteria for idea selection in innovation projects. Using a Design Science Research approach,
alongside a Delphi methodology, it gathers insights from experts in innovation, ethics, and
management, underscoring the need for a flexible ethical framework applicable across
evaluation methods. The resulting criteria emphasize transparency, inclusivity, and social
impact as core ethical dimensions in innovation. This research contributes to responsible
innovation and ethical decision-making by offering actionable guidance for integrating ethics
into early-stage idea selection, through the translation of validated ethical criteria into a
toolkit for innovation teams to use. The study highlights the importance of embedding ethical
reflection into innovation practices to promote sustainable and socially responsible outcomes.
Future research should explore applying these criteria in varied contexts and developing
decision-support tools to operationalize ethical considerations in practice.
