About
Marco Pironti is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of innovation management, emerging technologies, and organizational strategy. His scholarship focuses primarily on how disruptive technologies — particularly humanoid robotics and automation — reshape organizational routines, labour productivity, and product innovation processes. Pironti's most influential contribution examines how humanoid robot adoption transforms the balance between explorative and exploitative innovation routines, arguing that while robots increasingly handle repetitive, mimetic tasks, human workers remain indispensable for the creativity and critical thinking that drive genuine innovation. This work, cited 65 times since its 2021 publication, has established him as a notable voice in debates surrounding human-machine collaboration and ambidextrous innovation. Beyond robotics, Pironti has extended his research agenda to investigate how businesses navigate the adoption of disruptive technologies more broadly, exploring the synergies and barriers that shape sustainable technological transitions within regional innovation ecosystems, drawing on empirical evidence from Italy's Piedmont region. His body of work offers valuable frameworks for policymakers, managers, and scholars grappling with the organisational and societal implications of technological disruption, making his research particularly relevant to contemporary conversations about the future of work and sustainable innovation.
