Purpose – Research on management control for innovation has shifted from viewing control as primarily constraining to recognizing that control can also enable innovation. However, common ways of classifying control such as mechanisms, tools or types of use can understate what makes management control in innovation settings distinctive. This paper aims to propose a vocabulary to support richer expl
Firms struggle to translate sustainability ambitions into innovation practices, especially in crisis contexts where leaders must navigate ambiguity, competing demands, and rapid change. This study examines how top managers use sense-related practices to cultivate an adaptive space for sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) under crisis-induced conditions. Drawing on an in-depth, process-oriented
Civil society organisations play numerous key roles in governing and practically enacting sustainable development. For rural development this importantly includes farmer-based organisations, which among other things can represent and amplify farmers’ voices. In sub-Saharan Africa, small-scale farmers in particular lack organisational vehicles for political influence. This study analyses an attempt
How do grassroots initiatives define success? This study surveys 64Swedish groups affiliated with the Transition Town (TT) movement toexamine how they understand and experience success within thecontext of competing social movement logics. Using a mixedmethodskey-informant design, the study combines thematic analysisof open responses with statistical analysis of group characteristics.Respondents a
The paper investigates how alternative food network (AFN) consumers are formed as market actors through socio-material processes of agencing. Drawing on ethnographic studies of REKO markets in Sweden—a digitally mediated model of direct-to-consumer local food exchange—the study challenges essentialist understandings of consumers as fixed entities with stable preferences. Instead, it conceptualises
Although transitions literature provides ample evidence of how transformative innovations like renewable energies, regenerative agriculture, or multi-modal mobility systems emerge, it offers limited insight into the mechanisms that enable their spatial diffusion. We address this gap by exploring templating, a crucial yet under-theorized pathway through which actors can actively foster the spatial
Addressing the questions of this panel, this presentation critically examines the expanding extractivist frontiers in North Africa, driven by narratives of green transitions sustainable development. It explores the complex dynamics between renewable energy projects and local contestations led by environmental defenders and self-determination movements. The rapid growth of wind and solar infrastruc
Background: Despite well-documented evidence demonstrating the efficacy and safety of integrated treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD) in adults, few studies have been conducted among adolescents and young adults, developmental periods when these disorders typically have their onset. Objective: This randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy
This open access edited volume offers a new global perspective on migration governance by rethinking the political economy of migration beyond Western-centric frameworks. Using the concept of assemblages of migration, the book conceptualises migration governance as historically layered, polycentric, infrastructural, stratified, embodied, and co-produced through formal institutions and everyday pra
A growing body of research has highlighted the role of personality-related vulnerabilities in child-to-parent violence (CPV), and recent studies suggest that narcissistic traits may be one relevant factor. Yet existing research has focused almost exclusively on grandiose narcissism, while vulnerable narcissism has rarely been examined. This study investigates associations between grandiose and vul
Detta kapitel undersöker känslornas betydelse i domstolens arbete och utmanar den etablerade föreställningen om juridisk rationalitet som emotionslös. Med exempel från svenska domstolar visas hur centrala juridiska principer såsom objektivitet, oberoende och opartiskhet inte enbart är normativa ideal utan också kontinuerligt behöver gestaltas och göras begripligt i rättssalen. Särskild uppmärksamh
