Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

How Alternative Management Ideas Are Realized for the Public Good: Performative Fabrics of Humanistic Practices

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Repurposing management for the public good involves realizing alternative ideas to serve societal interests. Humanistic management is centred on such ideas as human dignity and well‐being. Realization refers to the generation and maintenance of social realities corresponding to these ideas.

Bridging Moral Aspirations and the Mundane Reality: A Grounded Study of the Process of Radical Purpose Adaptation in a Business School

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In previous research, scholars have often highlighted the important role of leaders in defending and protecting a historical organizational purpose. However, adopting such a ‘backward‐looking’ perspective, researchers have devoted much less attention to understanding how an organizational purpose can be deliberately changed and leveraged to ...

The Front‐End of Circular Innovation in Incumbent Firms

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Circular Economy introduces ambiguity and complexity when developing products and services, by using materials and resources differently; innovations and related business models thus deviate markedly from those evident in the “linear economy”.

Supply Chain Coherence: Building Resilience for an Ever‐Changing World

Journal of Supply Chain Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, it is argued that a key to resilience is maintaining a coherent supply chain despite the multitude of—often unforeseeable—challenges it encounters. Because there is a dearth of literature focusing specifically on supply chain coherence, this research explores the meaning and conceptualization of coherence in related fields ...
