  • Cross-Sector Partnerships for Social–Ecological Resilience and Transformation

    Open AccessDomenico Dentoni, Martina K Linnenluecke et al.ARTICLEBusiness & Society2026

    In an era of social–ecological crises, resilience and transformation are closely related societal ambitions, but they can exacerbate tensions between public, private, and civil society members of cross-sector partnerships (XSPs). Bridging management and organization studies with social–ecological research, we advance a panarchy framework of adaptive cycles nested across interconnected scales, in which XSPs are embedded. As portrayed in the panarc…

  • The potential of social innovation to shift the limits to climate adaptation

    Open AccessG Ziervogel, Ralph HamannARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2024Referencias: 6

    Social innovation is a term that is being increasingly used, albeit quite superficially, in the climate adaptation field. We thus seek to develop a more consolidated approach to linking social innovation and climate adaptation, suggesting that the scholarly and practical roots of the social innovation literature can be useful in developing better understanding about how to shift the limits to climate adaptation. Specifically, we foreground three …

  • Supplier Engagement in Sustainability Programs

    Open AccessFranz Wohlgezogen, Joerg S Hofstetter et al.ARTICLEOrganization & Environment2020

    Formal, compliance-focused governance for supply chain sustainability initiatives has a mixed empirical track record. We build on classic research on bureaucracy to examine how “enabling” and “coercive” formalization at the buyer–supplier interface affect attitudes, an important precursor to behavioral engagement. We conduct a randomized field experiment with the supplier community of a South African insurance company to directly compare treatmen…

  • Climate change impacts and adaptation in South Africa

    Open AccessG Ziervogel, Mark New et al.ARTICLEWiley Interdisciplinary Reviews…2014Citada por: 12Referencias: 9

    In this paper we review current approaches and recent advances in research on climate impacts and adaptation in South Africa. South Africa has a well‐developed earth system science research program that underpins the climate change scenarios developed for the southern African region. Established research on the biophysical impacts of climate change on key sectors (water, agriculture, and biodiversity) integrates the climate change scenarios but f…

  • Mining Companies and Governance in Africa

    Open AccessRalph Hamann, Paul Kapelus et al.CHAPTERGovernance Ecosystems2011

    In this chapter we contribute to the overarching theme of this book with a focus on the African context, arguing that corporate responsibilities can be better understood and acted upon when seeing corporations as part of a broader governance system. Recognizing, of course, that the African continent provides for a wide array of circumstances (as is the case in Latin America), we use illustrative case studies from South Africa and the Democratic R…

  • South Africa's Charter Approach to Post-Apartheid Economic Transformation

    Ralph Hamann, Sanjeev Khagram et al.ARTICLEJournal of Southern African Studies2008Citada por: 5

    This article considers the South African black economic empowerment (BEE) programme, with an emphasis on the sector charters in mining and finance, to investigate the extent to which these developments may be characterised in terms of collaborative governance. It argues that the genesis and content of the charters do represent important elements of collaborative governance, including a reliance on interest-based negotiation and an expectation tha…

  • Doing business with integrity

    Open AccessPaul Kapelus, Ralph Hamann et al.ARTICLEInternational Social Science…2005

    One of the most prominent illustrations of the challenges and complexities faced by companies operating in weak governance zones has been that of AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). A payment made by AGA exploration staff to a rebel group accused of committing extensive human rights abuses was seen by leading non-governmental organisations as an illustration of corporate irresponsibility and was used to argue that c…
