Environmental sustainability and management theory development: Post‐paradigm insights from the Anthropocene

open access: yesEuropean Management Review, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 520-532, September 2024.
Abstract Given a looming crisis of environmental degradation, this conceptual review revisits certain long‐standing assumptions informing the development of management theory. Specifically, we problematise seminal notions of paradigm differentiation at the heart of Burrell and Morgan's theory of paradigms by arguing that assumptions of paradigm ...

Insight on Invasions and Resilience Derived from Spatiotemporal Discontinuities of Biomass at Local and Regional Scales

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2012
Understanding the social and ecological consequences of species invasions is complicated by nonlinearities in processes, and differences in process and structure as scale is changed. Here we use discontinuity analyses to investigate nonlinear patterns in

Characterizing Climatic Socio‐Environmental Tipping Points in Coastal Communities: A Conceptual Framework for Research and Practice

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract The concept of climate tipping points in socio‐environmental systems is increasingly being used to describe nonlinear climate change impacts and encourage social transformations in response to climate change. However, the processes that lead to these tipping points and their impacts are highly complex and deeply uncertain.

Theorizing across boundaries: How to conduct a ‘breakout’ literature review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Management Reviews, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 331-343, July 2024.
Abstract Best practice advice for literature reviews abounds, yet little advice is available for how to infuse a literature review with theory‐generative insights that break out of knowledge silos. To address this issue, we provide guidance on reviewing a range of literature for theory‐generative insights through a process of knowledge transfers from a

Fit in the Body: Matching Embodied Cognition with Social-Ecological Systems

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2012
Analysis of fit has focused on the macrolevel fit between social institutions and ecosystems, and bypassed the microlevel fit between individual cognition and its socio-material environment.

Unlocking the power of diversity for supply chain knowledge: Is pluralism in theorizing styles the key?

open access: yesJournal of Supply Chain Management, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 3-17, July 2024.
Abstract The authors reflect on the opportunities for diversity in supply chain research by examining the prevalent modes of theorizing in the field. This examination focuses on identifying common styles of theorizing in supply chain management research, which are defined as specific modes of reasoning to make inferences about supply chain phenomena ...

Panarchy Rules: Rethinking Resilience of Agroecosystems, Evidence from Dutch Dairy-Farming

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2011
Resilience has been growing in importance as a perspective for governing social-ecological systems. The aim of this paper is first to analyze a well-studied human dominated agroecosystem using five existing key heuristics of the resilience perspective ...

Climate change adaptation in water law: International, EU and Finnish perspectives

open access: yesReview of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 80-92, April 2024.
Abstract Climate change is expected to significantly alter hydrological regimes globally as well as locally. The impacts will encompass both long‐term changes in hydrological trends and short‐term extreme weather events. The need to anticipate and adapt to future changes will challenge legal rules and institutions, as these are bound to the past.

Panarchy: Discontinuities Reveal Similarities in the Dynamic System Structure of Ecological and Social Systems

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2009
In this paper, we review the empirical evidence of discontinuous distributions in complex systems within the context of panarchy theory and discuss the significance of discontinuities for understanding emergent properties such as resilience.
