SUMMARY:SPRING'24 PROTOTYPING FUND SHOWCASE
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the end of our 2nd Prototyping Fund cycle with the showcase of 13 incredible projects. \n\n\n\nThe Prototyping Fund is a collaborative program offered by the DESIS Lab @NovaSBE and Nova SBE Haddad Entrepreneurship Institute\, created under the project Shaping the World by Innonexus\, funded by the European Union. This program awards teams of students (with at least one member from Nova SBE or LSE) up to €600 or €2000 to be used to build hardware\, software prototypes or prototype engagement activities\, and connects them with the resources\, tools\, and mentors they need to bring their ideas to life. This spring we selected one team who participated in the Fall for the Phase 2 (for 1500 euros). \n\n\n\nIn Phase 1\, we selected 12 projects\, across multiple programs at Nova SBE (with 7 from the Master’s in Impact Entrepreneurship and Innovation) and one from LSE who will join us on campus for the Final Showcase. Projects ranged from upcycling materials and food waste\, climate tech (biochar\, new material)\, energy efficiency\, and health. \n\n\n\nYou can read more about the projects here \n\n\n\nThe Prototyping Fund Showcase will take place on April 22nd from 12:30 pm to 2 pm in the open space in the Food Court at Nova SBE. \n\n\n\nStudents worked hard this semester to prototype and test their ideas and it’s important for them to get feedback and suggestions from different people. As it’s a showcase\, you can stop by for only a short time.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar – Christian Seelos
DESCRIPTION:This Research Seminar was organized by the Management & Organizations department and the ERA Chair in Social Innovation. \n\n\n\nChristian Seelos is a Distinguished Fellow and Director of the Global Innovation for Impact Lab at the Stanford University Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society. Previously\, he was the Director of Social Innovation Practice at the Harvard Kennedy School Social Innovation for Change Initiative and Academic Visitor at the Skoll Center for Social Entrepreneurship\, served as the Leo Tindemans Chair for Business Model Innovation at KU Leuven\, and was the Director of the IESE Platform for Strategy and Sustainability and faculty at the Strategic Management Department at IESE Business School. \n\n\n\nTitle: Realist Theorizing – Causal Models as Analytical Scaffoldings \n\n\n\nAbstract: Organizational scholarship often revolves around discourses that use ambiguous terms that lack the characteristics of analytically potent concepts. Examples include terms like business models\, social entrepreneurship\, hybrid organizations\, social innovation\, system change\, or grand challenges. In this seminar\, I share insights from my scholarly journey that began in the natural sciences (molecular biology) and led me to study social phenomena. A central objective of this journey was to challenge and overcome the limitations of scholarly discourses. I reflect on adopting causal models as analytical scaffoldings for theorizing phenomena. I also discuss the implications of a realist philosophy of science for the validity of knowledge claims and their practical usefulness. Recent studies illustrate the learning journey of this style of theorizing\, its characteristics\, potential\, and challenges.

SUMMARY:Design Jam for Sustainable Fashion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our DESIGN JAM FOR SUSTAINABLE FASHION\, hosted by DESIS Lab @Nova SBE in partnership with the Nova SBE Haddad Entrepreneurship Institute\, as part as the project Shaping the World by Innonexus\, funded by the European Union. \n\n\n\nAs the global population continues to grow\, the fashion industry plays a pivotal role in shaping our planet’s future. With the current trajectory\, it is anticipated that by 2050\, the demand for clothing will skyrocket\, placing immense pressure on environmental resources (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). While fashion is a vibrant expression of creativity and identity\, it is also a sector confronted with pressing challenges\, ranging from excessive waste and pollution to exploitative labor practices. As we navigate towards a more sustainable future\, addressing these issues becomes imperative for the well-being of our planet and the ethical evolution of the fashion industry. \n\n\n\nDuring this design jam we will invite participants to engage in multidisciplinary collaboration and ideation to generate meaningful and impactful solutions that address the current social and environmental challenges faced by the fashion industry. \n\n\n\nThis event is open to ANYONE passionate about fashion and / or sustainability and most of all interested in collaborating for social impact.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar - Juliane Reinecke
DESCRIPTION:This Research Seminar was organized by the Management & Organizations department and the ERA Chair in Social Innovation. \n\n\n\nJuliane Reinecke is Professor of Management Studies at Saïd Business School\, University of Oxford. Prof Juliane’s research draws on insights from organisation theory\, political philosophy\, and process studies to explore\, broadly speaking\, how transnational governance institutions emerge and evolve as a result of the interactions of multiple stakeholders to promote more just and sustainable forms of globalisation in global supply chains\, but also organisations in general. \n\n\n\nTitle: Confronting constructive ambiguity and escalating commitment to a collective action institution: the Bangladesh Accord   \n\n\n\nAbstract:  \n\n\n\nThis paper investigates a core challenge in building multi-stakeholder institutions for collective action: A degree of constructive ambiguity – the deliberate use of imprecise language on a sensitive issue – is often needed to overcome conflict and enable agreement among multiple parties. However\, the initially enabling characteristics of constructive ambiguity may complicate implementation when ambiguous commitments must be translated into concrete actions. To examine the role of constructive ambiguity in building an institution for collective action\, we draw on an eight-year study of the Bangladesh Accord for Fire and Building Safety among unions\, NGOs and over 200 companies to end the series of deadly accidents in the Bangladesh garment sector. Despite the ever-present risk of watering down the agreement during implementation\, our findings reveal how parties confronted constructive ambiguity through a political process of meaning negotiation and commitment renewal. We identify the mechanisms through which political conflict was leveraged to wrest repeated action re-commitments from companies\, increasing parties’ skin in the game and leading commitment to escalate beyond initial self-commitment. We advance a political process view of collective action that explains how collective rationality evolves that directs private interests toward collective ends to resolve transnational collective action problems.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar - Karin Buhmann
DESCRIPTION:​This Research Seminar was organized by the Management & Organizations department and the ERA Chair in Social Innovation. \n\n\n\nKarin Buhmann is Professor of Business and Human Rights at Copenhagen Business School\, and Professor and Head of the Centre for Law\, Sustainability & Justice at the Department of Law\, University of Southern Denmark. Professor Karin’s research and teaching focus on sustainability and responsible business conduct (RBC) with a particular emphasis on social issues\, especially climate change mitigation\, business responsibilities for human rights\, and sustainable finance. \n\n\n\nTitle: Avoiding losing the essence in translation? The transition of human rights due diligence into hard-law requirements and implications for organizational uptake.  \n\n\n\nAbstract:  \n\n\n\nHuman Rights due diligence was conceived as a management process for business enterprises to identify and manage their adverse impacts. The EU’s proposed Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) will be a major step in turning due diligence into a legally mandated task. This raises a fundamental question on how to ensure the essence of due diligence as an ongoing management process across multiple management functions\, with a focus on sometimes complex qualitative issues across value chains – and particularly avoiding due diligence turning into narrow compliance. The CSDDD is far from the first step in mandatory due diligence\, even within the EU. Previous steps have involved reporting requirements\, amongst others. Based on her studies on the effects of the introduction of non-financial reporting requirements in Denmark and of the implementation of ‘meaningful stakeholder engagement’\, a key element of due diligence\, in green energy contexts\, Professor Buhmann will identify some issues that challenge or condition the effective transformation of due diligence actions into law and back into responsible business conduct in organizations.   \n\n\n\nThis event will serve as an opportunity to discuss the current landscape of research on business and human rights across management\, economics\, and law\, identifying the next important questions that deserve attention as well as research needs. Karin’s presentation will serve as an occasion to discuss more generally how to better connect legal discourses with management and economics discourses on Business and Human Rights\, in research and in practice.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar – Professor Johanna Mair
DESCRIPTION:NOVA School of Business and Economics\, Room B133 \n\n\n\nNova SBE Research Unit and ERA Chair in Social Innovation invited Professor Johanna Mair\, from Hertie School\, for a Research Seminar on ‘The Road to Impact: Do we need to reimagine Grand Challenges Research?’. ​ \n\n\n\nProf. Johanna Mair\, Professor of Organization\, Strategy and Leadership\, is a Distinguished Fellow at the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society\, Academic Editor of the Stanford Social Innovation Review and Co-Director of the Global Innovation for Impact Lab. She serves on the board of foundations and organizations and advises companies\, governments\, and social impact investors on social innovation. \n\n\n\nHer research focuses on how novel organizational forms and institutional arrangements create economic value as well as social impact and the role of innovation in this process. She has published articles in leading academic journals including the Academy of Management Journal\, Academy of Management Perspective\, Journal of Management\, Journal of Management Studies\, Organization Studies\, Journal of Business Ethics\, Research in Organizational Behavior\, Journal of Business Venturing\, Long Range Planning\, Journal of World Business\, Group & Organization Management\, and the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal. \n\n\n\nAbstract​ \n\n\n\nEditorial notes in leading management journals have urged scholars to address Grand Challenges (GC) as an opportunity for producing knowledge that matters for society. This review explores whether current conceptualizations of GC support a productive path for management and organizational scholarship by guiding empirical inquiry\, facilitating cumulative theory development\, and informing practice. We systematically examine scholarly articles\, calls for papers\, and editorial notes published in management journals for consistency in how researchers use and define the concept of GC and the scope of associated phenomena and attributes. We find three prominent conceptual architectures in use: discursive\, family resemblance\, and phenomenon driven. The variety and incoherence of current uses of the GC concept and the lack of efforts to improve its analytical competence lead us to suggest its retirement. Instead\, we propose building on the enthusiasm around GC research and using GC as a term to define research principles that collectively help align research efforts and improve theoretical development and practice. The principles we propose capture a genuine origin story for management research on GC. \n\n\n\nA conversation based on the article ‘The Future of Grand Challenges Research: Retiring a Hopeful Concept and Endorsing Research Principles’ (Christian Seelos\, Johanna Mair and Charlotte Traeger)
