The most critical question for climate research is no longer about the problem, but how to facilitate transformative changes necessary avoid catastrophic climate-induced change. Addressing this question, however, will require massive upscaling of that can rapidly enhance learning transformations. Ten essentials guiding action-oriented transformation and energy are therefore presented, framed in relation second-order science. They include: (1) Focus on transformations low-carbon, resilient...
Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimulating societal changes needed to address challenges like climate change. In this we used a novel futures-oriented participatory approach that asked what future envisioned systems might need look how get there. Findings suggest will be much more...
Abstract Expertise in research integration and implementation is an essential but often overlooked component of tackling complex societal environmental problems. We focus on expertise relevant to any problem, especially contributory expertise, divided into ‘knowing-that’ ‘knowing-how.’ also deal with interactional the fact that much tacit. explore three questions. First, examining ‘when required?,’ we review tasks (a) developing more comprehensive understandings problems, plus possible ways...
Climate change is often described as an existential crisis calling for urgent action, yet there appears to have been relatively low levels of engagement on this issue within management scholarship. Contributors article, all whom engaged in climate action research, consider why it that scholars are generally choosing not tackle critically important challenge and argue what might be done address this. In doing so, we provide new alternative agendas developing research will positively contribute action.
Relationships and interactions should be an important focus of attention in organizational scholarship. In contrast to traditional research approaches that on independent, discrete entities, methodologies oriented relational concerns organizations allow researchers study the intersubjective interdependent nature life. addition providing historical philosophical bases for a perspective which emphasizes relationality, we review growing number methods capture aspects Examples include network...
In this overview the authors describe underlying principles of action research as: (1) grounded in lived experience, (2) developed partnership, (3) addressing significant problems, (4) working with, rather than simply studying, people, (5) developing new ways seeing/theorizing world, and (6) leaving infrastructure its wake. We refer to role social workers as frontline implementers important policies suggest how can be used both implement also influence creation such policies. offer examples...

Sustainability issues are not just “out there” in the external environment. In approaching issue of sustainability, students benefit from questioning what is it that sustains their own lives, lives those they care about, and organizations which work. If encouraged to do this, become better systems thinkers as link internal worlds. This article presents some clarification concept practices associated with sustainable development describes numerous class exercises help management move into...
Executive Overview A sustainable society can persist over generations,1 being farseeing, flexible, and wise enough to nourish its physical social systems of support. Sustainable businesses are a key element in transforming toward sustainability.2 For firms willing inquire into the challenge presented by development, journey ahead may involve radical transformation not only organizational practices, but also ways thinking that led those practices first place. The Natural Step, Stockholm-based...
