Position taking and field level change
How does a social actor in a disadvantaged position achieve field level change? Using a longitudinal case of ‘Capability’ Brown, an individual rising from humble origins to shape and refine the British landscape, we examine how an actor’s unfolding efforts to move from a social position at the periphery of a field, to a social position at the centre of a field, may present them with opportunities to influence field level change. In doing so, we e…
The development and validation of a learning progression for argumentation in science
Given the centrality of argumentation in the Next Generation Science Standards, there is an urgent need for an empirically validated learning progression of this core practice and the development of high‐quality assessment items. Here, we introduce a hypothesized three‐tiered learning progression for scientific argumentation. The learning progression accounts for the intrinsic cognitive load associated with orchestrating arguments of increasingly…
Turnaround and failure
Research employing the resource-based view (RBV) has overwhelming focused on the upside of resources, namely those that provide benefit to the firm. However, an emerging research stream suggests that the downside of resources, namely resource weaknesses, may be crucial in gaining a greater understanding of the key factors that contribute to firm performance and the ability to turnaround failing companies. We examine the infamous case of Jarvis, a…
Bringing history (back) into the resource-based view
This paper assesses the role of historical analysis in the development of the RBV, focusing on the work of Edith Penrose. Drawing on Penrose's own work, and her correspondence with her teacher and colleague Professor Fritz Machlup, the article argues that historical analysis was central to the development of her ideas on firm growth, which provided the intellectual underpinnings of the RBV. It concludes by arguing that history matters to the RBV,…
Capability Brown, the Aristocracy, and the Cultivation of the Eighteenth-Century British Landscaping Industry
Capability Brown cannot be identified as the originator of modern landscaping, yet he created a business that achieved an unrivaled impact, outshining those before, during, and after his lifetime. Whether Brown was a great artist, opinions may differ. However, there is evidence that Brown was an outstandingly successful businessman. From humble origins, Brown ultimately created a business that seized the lion’s share of the landscaping market of …
A Penrosean theory of acquisitive growth
Penrose's book The Theory of the Growth of the Firm presents a growth theory that overwhelmingly relates to organic growth, with little explicit focus on acquisitive growth. This article addresses the gap in her growth theory by drawing on the historical case of Enodis, and insights from the resource-based view of the firm, to develop a Penrosean theory of acquisitive growth. It concludes that acquisitive growth not only enables a firm to grow mo…
The co-evolution of third stream activities in UK higher education
This paper explores the co-evolution of third stream activities in UK higher education from 1970 to 2008. Drawing on interviews and archival analysis it identifies four distinct periods through which third stream activities have co-evolved. The research suggests that the co-evolution of the third stream mission in universities is inextricably linked to the emerging requirement for universities to demonstrate they have a purpose in society. It con…
Participatory practice in the context of Local Agenda 21
This paper examines the different ways in which the participatory principles of Agenda 21 are being put into practice in the UK, by reference to research in three ’progressive’ localities: Kirklees, Leicester and Mendip. The investigation includes an examination of the reasons why a participatory approach is being adopted, how the local authorities are engaging the public in Local Agenda 21 (the levels, methods and scope of participation) and how…
