Highlights: Social Innovation Speaker Series: Dr. Anne Marie Knott USC Price 2024-05-15 | Highlights from the "The Innovation Cold-War With China" featuring Dr. Anne Marie Knott. Watch the full version: youtu.be/_PKPOLanXNsPlease join us for a research seminar by Anne Marie Knott, Robert and Barbara Frick Professor of Business, Washington University in St. Louis, Olin Business School, as she presents some of her most recent work. Professor Knott is visiting USC Price School this semester.For almost eight decades, the U.S. has been the world’s leading innovator. Most of the major innovations of the 20th century emanated from here. Similarly, the seven largest technology companies by market cap were founded in the here. However, the world is changing. U.S. R&D productivity has declined 65% since 1980. This is the reason the U.S. has been plagued with stagnant growth for decades. Many scholars believe this decline is inevitable, because we’ve used up all the good ideas. This acquiescence is not only unwarranted but is also potentially harmful, because China has geopolitical ambitions. China’s innovation supports both its economic and military ambitions, because, as in the U.S., the most powerful technologies tend to be dual-use: developed initially for military applications, then adapted for commercial applications, such as communications satellites, laser, and GPS. This book will argue that China is likely to achieve an innovation advantage over the U.S. in the near future, if both countries remain on their current courses. It will further argue that much of the Chinese advantage emerges from opposing perspectives on knowledge flows. Each of seven chapters will discuss a prevailing U.S. belief about innovation that stems from its “river” perspective. It will then present empirical evidence demonstrating why and how the belief is misleading, then show how it detrimentally affects U.S. innovation policy and ultimately the country’s innovation record. It will then compare the U.S. belief to the corresponding belief in China, as well as its policy and record. The final chapter will provide a summary of the innovative differences and offer policy prescriptions for regaining innovative advantage over China.

Highlights: HPRI Symposium: Guaranteed Income USC Price 2024-05-10 | Highlights from the HPRI Symposium on Guaranteed Income programs. Watch the full video here: youtu.be/J703_g4T9cgWhile guaranteed income and cash transfer programs have existed in other portions of the world, such as Latin America, since the 1980s (Fotta and Schmidt, 2023), the discussion of Universal Basic Income in the 2020 presidential debates and the widespread financial need triggered by the pandemic brought these concepts popular attention in America (guaranteedincome.us). These approaches show great promise in poverty alleviation by providing recipients autonomy over their spending, as well as other associated benefits like increased food security, improved health care, and spillover benefits like improved local economic activity (Stedman, 2023). Such benefits could be particularly reparative for communities of color in Los Angeles, who are more likely to live below the federal poverty line than white counterparts (Ending Poverty Summit, 2024), and for the Black and Latinx population which continue to be overrepresented in experiences of homelessness (LAHSA, 2023). Given the potential positive impacts for Black, Latinx, and indigenous populations, many see guaranteed income as a potential vehicle for reparations (The California Reparations Report, 2023).How can these programs impact people experiencing housing insecurity or homelessness? What sums of unconditional money could prevent vulnerable populations from falling into homelessness? What other benefits are guaranteed income pilots uncovering in their evaluations? Would it be more helpful in fighting homelessness to use a universal approach like UBI rather than targeted guaranteed income? What are the most effective ways to utilize cash transfers to stabilize housing? Join us to explore these questions and more as we learn about a cash transfer pilot program that targets people experiencing homelessness from Denver known as the Denver Basic Income Project and LA City’s effort to facilitate and evaluate a basic income program for families living in poverty known as the Big Leap!Panelists:Bo-Kyung Elizabeth Kim – Associate Professor, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, Department of Community Health SciencesAaron Strauss – Senior Program Manager, Office of Community Wealth, City of Los Angeles Community Investment for Families Department(CIFD)Daniel Brisson – Professor, Director, Center for Housing and Homelessness Research (CHHR), Graduate School of Social Work, University of DenverMark Donovan – Founder and Executive Director, Denver Basic Income ProjectMaria Sierra – Community Engagement Manager, Denver Basic Income ProjectMoriah Rodriguez – Participant, Denver Basic Income ProjectGuest Moderator:Soomi Lee – Professor and Director, Master of Public Administration program, University of La Verne

CID Democracy Summit: Introductory Remarks and CID Study Findings USC Price 2024-02-12 | The Center for Inclusive Democracy (CID) is hosting a democracy summit at the new USC Washington D.C. Campus (Dupont Circle) building titled, Building an Inclusive Democracy: Why Equitable Voter Turnout Matters in the 2024 Elections and Beyond. Introductory remarks by Mindy Romero and Senator Alex Padilla. Mindy Romero presents the topline findings of the new CID study.The conference will feature panels of national and local experts who will discuss the state of voter turnout in the U.S, and the challenges and opportunities for the 2024 elections and beyond. CID will kick off the day by holding a media briefing to announce the findings from a new nationwide voter turnout study. CID’s new research report provides an up-to-date profile of Latino, Asian American, and Black voting power throughout the United States. Despite notable growths in the eligible voter population, voters of color have historically been underrepresented in the electorate, creating a substantial opportunity gap. This report examines the changing demographic landscape in each state and throughout the nation, the participation of Latino, Asian-American, and Black eligible voters in general elections, and identifies the potential electoral influence voters of color will have on national and local elections. The study will also include a breakdown of the role that voters of color will play in the 2024 elections, including competitive congressional districts. Based on research findings, recommendations will be provided for election administration and community outreach efforts aimed at increasing the representativeness of U.S. elections.

CID will kick off the day by holding a media briefing to announce the findings from a new nationwide voter turnout study. CID’s new research report provides an up-to-date profile of Latino, Asian American, and Black voting power throughout the United States. Despite notable growths in the eligible voter population, voters of color have historically been underrepresented in the electorate, creating a substantial opportunity gap. This report examines the changing demographic landscape in each state and throughout the nation, the participation of Latino, Asian-American, and Black eligible voters in general elections, and identifies the potential electoral influence voters of color will have on national and local elections. The study will also include a breakdown of the role that voters of color will play in the 2024 elections, including competitive congressional districts. Based on research findings, recommendations will be provided for election administration and community outreach efforts aimed at increasing the representativeness of U.S. elections.

HPRI Symposium: Improving Coordinated Entry Systems USC Price 2024-02-06 | The implementation of Coordinated Entry Systems (CES) has become a common feature across the country, particularly after the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required the use of such systems for its largest grant program in 2013. These systems are intended to standardize processes across providers in a given jurisdiction so that unhoused clients can easily access a homeless services system, work with a provider to understand their needs, and get connected to housing and service resources according to their strengths and needs. While this systematic approach has aided many localities in their ability to quickly identify relevant resources for clients entering their system, it has often done little to disrupt patterns of inequitable distribution of resources across racial groups (Wilkey et al., 2019), with particular concerns around assessment tools, like VI-SPDAT, inequitably assessing client vulnerability (Cronley, 2020).As these concerns, backed by emerging research, continue to mount some jurisdictions are looking to restructure and improve their Coordinate Entry processes with special attention to racially equitable outcomes. This symposium aims to share learnings from those research and system improvement efforts by discussing pressing issues and important questions facing CES. Which issues in Coordinate Entry processes are most problematic in equitably addressing homelessness? What processes have different jurisdictions used to create and execute community plans to improve their CES? What changes have successfully been made to CES in different locations? What process improvements are being discussed/considered for future changes? Are there any CES-related research gaps that could be filled to inform further improvements?Panelists:Cynthia Nagendra – Deputy Director of Planning, Performance, and Strategy, San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing.Lahela Mattox – Chief Operations Officer, Regional Task Force on the HomelessEric Rice – Professor and Co-Director of the USC Center for AI in Society, USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social WorkMarina Genchev – Director of Systems & Planning, Los Angeles Homeless Services AuthorityZia Martinis – Community Liaison, Talent Poole

Highlights: Social Innovation Speaker Series: Dr. Santi Furnari USC Price 2024-02-05 | Highlights from Dr. Santi Furnari's presentation for the USC Price Center for Social Innovation and the USC Marshall MOR Department.Please join us for a research seminar by Santi Furnari, Professor of Strategy and Associate Dean for Executive Education at the Bayes Business School, City, University of London, as he presents some of his most recent work.Title: Civic Elites? The Emergence of a Civic Vision through Elite EngagementAbstract: Since the writings of C. Wright Mills and before him Pareto, sociologists, political scientists and organization theorists have showed how elites can act in self-interested and conservative ways. Differently, we examine the processes and conditions under which elites can contribute to social innovation by creating a new, civic vision. By “civic vision” we mean an imagined future that is largely embraced by the citizens of a local community (being it a city, a neighbourhood, a region or a place). Although early studies point to opposition between ‘elites’ and ‘civic’ goals, we explore how a civic vision can still emerge from elites, thereby making a ‘civic elite’ possible through social innovation processes. We draw on a historical case study of Chicago’s Millennium Park (1998-2004)’s half-a-billion project aimed at building a new public park to celebrate the Millennium. The design of this park was shaped by different philanthropic, political and professional elites pursuing their different ideas of what the park should look like. Drawing on an extensive primary archive on the project triangulated with 60 interviews and historical data, we analyzed how exactly elites attached their ideas to the project and what “tools of imagination” (e.g., maps, plans, budgets) they used during the project development. We show how the vision of the project evolved as a consequence of the gaps left in the project plans and the tensions between the different elites, ultimately making the vision (and the elites) become ‘civic’, while pursuing a multiplicity of interests. Our contribution is a process model of elite engagement and civic vision emergence. We draw implications for research on elites, civic action and place-based communities.Santi is Professor of Strategy at Bayes Business School, City, University of London, where he also served as Associate Dean. Currently, he is a 2023-24 Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University. He has studied how spaces and places shape the emergence of fields, industries and practices, and used configurational theorizing and methods to explain causally complex phenomena, such as organizational innovation and shareholders’ activism for climate change. Santi’s research has been published in journals such as the Academy of Management Review, Organization Science, Journal of Management, and Management Science (among others). Santi is Senior Editor at the journal Organization Studies. He served as the Representative-at-Large of the OMT Division of the Academy of Management from 2019 to 2022. His paper on “Interstitial Spaces” won the AMR Best Paper Award in 2014.He is being hosted by the Sol Price Center for Social Innovation and MOR at the Marshall School of Business.
