  Technology development practices in industry are often primarily focused on
business results, which risks creating unbalanced power relations between
corporate interests and the needs or concerns of people who are affected by
technology implementation and use. These practices, and their associated
cultural norms, may result in uses of technology that have direct, indirect,
short-term, and even long-term negative effects on groups of people and/or the
environment. This paper contributes a formative framework -- the Responsible
and Inclusive Technology Framework -- that orients critical reflection around
the social contexts of technology creation and use; the power dynamics between
self, business, and societal stakeholders; the impacts of technology on various
communities across past, present, and future dimensions; and the practical
decisions that imbue technological artifacts with cultural values. We expect
that the implementation of the Responsible and Inclusive Technology framework,
especially in business-to-business industry settings, will serve as a catalyst
for more intentional and socially-grounded practices, thus bridging the
responsibility and principles-to-practice gap.
