Regenerating Place
As many local places globally suffer from ecological and social decline, sustainability research increasingly recognizes the critical importance of studying organizational efforts toward regenerating local communities and ecosystems. This emerging research, however, overlooks the role of ecological knowledge, that is, place-based understanding of the processes and functions of the ecosystems in which organizations operate. As such, we ask “How do…
Collaborating for Community Regeneration
Managing the Paradoxes of Place to Foster Regeneration
Organizations face and contribute to mounting social problems and environmental degradation. Regenerative organizations seek to reverse this damage, emphasizing how to help local places flourish. Drawing on a six-year inductive study of one such regenerative organization, we derive an empirically grounded model which argues that regeneration depends on effectively managing place-based tensions paradoxically. Shorefast built social enterprises aim…
Envisioning energy futures in the North Atlantic oil industry
The oil industry is a focal point in discussions of climate change. However, environmental social science tends to view the oil sector as homogeneous in relation to climate change and energy futures. In this context, we ask: What is the range of energy futures that are envisioned and articulated through oil industry events in different operating regions? How do the energy futures articulated within oil industry events relate to issues of climate …
Short on Time
This inductive study of five firms in Alberta’s oil sands examines how organizations attend to the intertemporal tensions between the short term and long term that are inherent in business sustainability. Grounding our insights in organizational responses to the climate change issue, we find that firms that juxtapose the short term and long term also confront the tension between business and society. These firms are, therefore, more likely to rec…
Embracing Tensions in Corporate Sustainability
Corporate sustainability is rife with tensions as firms seek to balance often divergent economic, social, and environmental goals. To assess how tensions have been addressed in past research and to identify promising areas for pushing the literature forward, we conduct a comprehensive review of research in corporate sustainability from the past 11 years. We note four general approaches to how tensions are examined: through a win-win, trade-off, i…
