Biography
Yanuar Nugroho is an activist-scholar, born in Indonesia in 1972. He finished his PhD in 2007 in technological innovation and social change where he reserched the role of the Internet in civil society activism. He is now a research associate in the Innovation, Policy and Management Division, focusing on technological innovation and social change, and a member of research group in the area of innovation, development and sustainability at the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research (MIoIR/PREST).
Prior to his doctoral study, Yanuar had been quite active in three Indonesian NGOs: Business Watch Indonesia (Founder and former Executive Director, now Senior Advisor), Uni Sosial Demokrat (Founder and General Secretary), and ELSPPAT/Institute for Rural Development and Sustainable Agriculture (Founder and former Managing Director, now Head of the Board Members). He still retains these activities and roles, although in a very limited capacity, whilst he is residing in the UK. He was also a visiting lecturer in some Indonesian private universities (1998-2004) and a regular contributor to The Jakarta Post, English Daily (2002-2004) and other national media in Indonesia, including the daily news sources Kompas, Media Indonesia and Suara Pembaharuan (2001-2005). All of his articles are archived in his personal blog.
During his work with MIoIR, he has been involved in some research projects including: Service Innovation: The Future of R&D Service Innovation in EU (2004-2005); Annual Digest for Industrial Research (2005-2006 and 2006-2007); Prime Forum: Network of Excellence (EU-FP6) (2005-2006); E-Skills Foresight Europe (2006); Mapping Innovation Policy in Services (2006); InnoGRIPS – Pooling of world-wide Knowledge on Innovation Policy and Business Innovation (2007-2010); and Rindicate research on European researcher mobility (2007-2008).
Yanuar was formally trained as an Industrial Engineer from the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) in Indonesia (1990-1994). He was awarded British Council’s Chevening Award to obtain his MSc (with distinction) on Information Systems Engineering at UMIST (2000-2001). During his PhD research he received various awards: ORS scheme, Porticus grant, Benevolentia grant, John Paul II 100 scholarships award, FES-Germany grant, and a number of conference grants including those awarded by the University of Manchester, Association of Internet Researcher (AoIR), Queensland University, L’Orientale University at Naples, and HIVOS the Netherlands.
Yanuar's research interests evolves around the topics of technological innovation, particularly adoption and diffusion of innovations in third sector (non-governmental, non-for-profit organisations), innovation and sustainable development, and new communication media and social change. In the first strand, his work has been focussing on how technological innovations diffuse in and are adopted by third sector organisations and investigating the impacts of such diffusion/adoption. In the second strand, Yanuar focuses on the role of innovation in development, particularly in sustainable development and/in developing countries. He investigates factors other than innovation (e.g. democracy, civic engagement, among others) that play important roles in the success of development and pays attention to intermediaries and intermediation process in the systems of innovation. Lastly, his works on the link between new media and information technologies and social change looks at how new communication technology like the Internet and Web 2.0 propagates and alters the nature of communication and interaction as the fabrics of societal life.
Yanuar works with both quantitative and qualitative approaches as well as the combination of the two including triangulation. He has extensive experience in designing, deploying and analysing large scale off- and on-line surveys; highly familiar with in-depth interview, ethnographical observation, focus groups and workshops; and social network analysis. He has experience and working knowledge in using statistical applications such as SPSS, Stata, LatentGold; social network analysis like Pajek, UciNet; CAQDAS like Atlas.Ti and NVivo. He works with multi platforms both proprietary and mainly open-source.
