SUMMARY:Nova SBE Filmmaking Cycle 24/25: Exploring Pressing Global Themes by Film
DESCRIPTION:Nova SBE Filmmaking Cycle 2024/2025: Exploring Pressing Global Themes through Film \n\n\n\nRegistrations: https://www.eventbrite.pt/e/1049496360867?aff=oddtdtcreator \n\n\n\nNova SBE is excited to present its first Film Cycle\, an initiative bringing together various departments from the School to explore pressing global themes through the art of films. The 2024/2025 cycle will focus on sustainability\, climate action\, art\, and research. Each session will feature a curated selection of short films\, followed by discussions aimed at sparking new ideas and fostering innovative projects. Additionally\, every event will showcase research from Nova SBE\, highlighting the institution’s commitment to addressing these critical topics through both academic and creative lenses. \n\n\n\nThe upcoming session on November 14\, 2024\, at 5:30 PM at the Teresa e Alexandre Soares dos Santos Library will feature the screening of the film Common Ground\, Directed By JOSH TICKELL and REBECCA TICKELL. This thought-provoking documentary delves deep into the intersections of environmental stewardship\, community resilience\, and sustainable agriculture\, bringing to light the urgent need for regenerative solutions. \n\n\n\nFollowing the screening\, we will host a conversation with Carlos Mendes Gonçalves and a speaker TBD\, moderated by the Nova SBE Sustainability Department. This discussion will provide a platform to explore the key themes of the film\, drawing connections to Nova SBE’s ongoing research and initiatives in sustainability. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an evening of insightful dialogue\, as we use the power of film to inspire action and collective learning in addressing the challenges of our time. \n\n\n\n______________ \n\n\n\nAbout Common Ground \n\n\n\nCOMMON GROUND is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary\, Kiss the Ground which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health. By fusing journalistic expose’ with deeply personal stories from those in the front lines of the sustainable food movement\, COMMON GROUND unveils a dark web of money\, power\, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how racist practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white\, black\, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate\, save our health\, and stabilize America’s economy – before it’s too late.About the Speakers \n\n\n\nCarlos Mendes Gonçalves is the CEO and President of Casa Mendes Gonçalves\, known for its Paladin brand of vinegars and condiments. Under his leadership\, the company has gained international recognition for its innovation and sustainability.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar – Gorgi Klrev
DESCRIPTION:This Research Seminar was organized by the ERA Chair in Social Innovation and the Management & Organizations department. \n\n\n\nGorgi Krlev is Associate Professor of Sustainability at ESCP Business School in Paris. He also holds a Visiting Professorship at Politecnico di Milano and is a Visiting Fellow at Kellogg College\, University of Oxford. \n\n\n\nIn his research\, he deals with social entrepreneurship\, social innovations and impact\, with a particular focus on how cross-sector collaborations and new field emergence promote societal transformations and contribute to addressing environmental and social sustainability challenges. \n\n\n\nHis open access book Social Innovation: Comparative Perspectives received a best book award from the Academy of Management (AOM). His new book Social Economy Science: Transforming the Economy & Making Society More Resilient won the Virginia A. Hodgkinson Prize by ARNOVA. \n\n\n\nTitle: SCALING\, BECOMING OR TRANSFORMING THE MARKET? GLOBAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE INITIATIVES IN IMPACT INVESTING  \n\n\n\nAbstract: Impact investing means to address social and environmental problems by combining a social orientation and a market orientation. However\, individual impact investments face many restrictions. They might not be long-term oriented\, prioritize returns over impact\, or be wary of investment opportunities with high impact potential if they appear too risky. Globally\, new public-private initiatives are building novel financial infrastructures to address these issues. We study five of these initiatives in a comparative case study design under the lens of nascent markets. Empirically\, we find three dimensions of market building to classify initiatives: market building strategy\, market building goals\, and governance of market building. Conceptually\, we show how these dimensions can be configured in different ways to produce three implications: scaling the market\, becoming the market\, and transforming the market. We contribute to better understanding the relational foundations of market building as opposed to technical infrastructures\, or a predominant focus on regulating markets formally after their emergence. We also contribute to a recent literature on “early moments” of field formation and enhance it by focussing on the long-term governance challenges of decisions taken in the nascent stages of market building. \n\n\n\nThe ERA Chair in Social Innovation at NOVA SBE has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 951735.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar – Ali Aslan Gümüsay
DESCRIPTION:This Research Seminar was organized by the ERA Chair in Social Innovation and the Management & Organizations department. \n\n\n\nAli Aslan Gümüsay works within the fields of Organization\, Innovation\, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability as Professor at LMU Munich and Head of Research Group at the Humboldt Institute for Internet & Society. \n\n\n\nHis work has been published in journals such as Academy of Management Journal\, Academy of Management Perspectives\, Business & Society\, Innovation: Organization & Management\, Journal of Business Ethics\, Journal of Management Studies and Research Policy. \n\n\n\nTitle: Desirable Futures & Prospective Theorizing \n\n\n\nAbstract: With the looming planetary emergency\, the future will be anything but an extension of the past. Yet theorizing the future poses a peculiar problem. By definition\, it is not present yet. The conundrum of the future is that it requires conceptualizing and theorizing what is not (yet) observable and does not (yet) exist. How to then theorize (for) desirable futures? \n\n\n\nThe ERA Chair in Social Innovation at NOVA SBE has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 951735.

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.
