Building individual futures capacity through transformative futures learning
This article focuses on examining the parallels between the recent discussion on futures literacy as human capability and the longer tradition of futures education as a means to enhance the individual’s capacity to use the future. Merging these two lines of discussion with transformative educational theory, we proceed to propose a conceptual model for transformative futures learning and a new 21st century futures paradigm for educational institut…
Trust makes this organisation unique: Looking at the future of work through two human-centric organisations
Modes of organising have an indirect relationship with the new key technologies as enablers of new forms of organisation. The effect is two-fold: first the emergent technologies bring more efficiency to traditional organising, while at the same time inspiring ideas about new ways to approach the everyday life of organisations. Secondly, the metaphors and models based on new technology are applied to building new forms of organisational interactio…
Organisations and the sixth wave: Are ethics transforming our economies in the coming decades
Leadership in the sixth wave—excursions into the new paradigm of the Kondratieff cycle 2010–2050

A theory about the long cycles of modern economies and societies, it posits that we are living at the end of the fifth cycle and about to begin a new, the sixth cycle. This …
Society, consciousness and change—An inquiry into Pentti Malaska's futures thinking
The article sets out to expose futurist Pentti Malaska (1934–2012) as a social thinker.2 His theory on social evolution where societies have developed from agricultural to industrial, and the currently emerging post-industrial service society, is explained. His idea of threefold society is discussed where each sector (culture, social life, economic life) is understood as domains of distinct principles. We also take a deep look into his list of ke…
Towards the age of corporate responsibility? Emerging challenges for the business world
Risk landscapes in the era of social transition
Citizenship and ecological modernization in the information society
Sociology, Modernity and the Globalization of Environmental Change
One of the issues in recent sociological debate on the assessment of global environmental change (GEC) has been the question how to determine the relevant domain of sociological enquiry. In this article I try to provide an insight into this question by looking at some of the conditions which enable us to identify the formation and acceleration of GEC as a phenomenon that is deeply rooted in the social and political development of modernity. In di…
