Biography

Yanuar Nugroho (born 1972) hails from Indonesia. He finished his PhD in 2007 in technological innovation and social change focusing on the role of the Internet in civil society activism. He now holds the Hallsworth Fellowship in Political Economy of Innovations & Social Change in the Innovation Policy and Management Division, a member of research group in the area of innovation, development and sustainability at the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research (MIoIR/PREST), and also a core member of the Centre for Development Informatics (CDI). Yanuar was awarded 'Outstanding Academics of the year 2009' by Manchester Business School. He was formally trained as an Industrial Engineer from the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) Indonesia (1990-1994) and awarded British Councils Chevening Award to obtain his MSc (with distinction) in Information Systems Engineering at UMIST (2000-2001).

Prior to his doctoral study, Yanuar had been quite active in three Indonesian NGOs: Business Watch Indonesia, Uni Sosial Demokrat, and ELSPPAT/Institute for Rural Development and Sustainable Agriculture. He was also a visiting lecturer in some Indonesian private universities (1998-2004) and a regular contributor major newspapers in Indonesia like The Jakarta Post, English Daily (2002-2004), 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 more than 17 projects funded by the European Commission, British Government, and international charities. The most recent projects include EURECIA Understanding and Assessing the Impact and Outcomes of the ERC Funding schemes (2009-11) and Citizens in Action! Mapping Social Media and Civic Engagement in Indonesia (2010).

Research Interests

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 and foresight. 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 incorporates network perspective into foresight methods. 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.
