SUMMARY:Research Seminar - Julie Battilana 
DESCRIPTION:Julie Battilana is a professor of organizational behavior at Harvard Business School and social innovation at Harvard Kennedy School\, where she is also the founder and faculty chair of the Social Innovation + Change Initiative. Professor Battilana’s research examines the politics of change in organizations and in society. She’s especially focused on organizations and individuals that initiate and implement changes that diverge from the taken-for-granted norm—that break with the status quo. She teaches on power and influence\, leadership\, and organizational change. She is the author of two books: Power\, for All: How it Really Works and Why It’s Everyone’s Business (New York: Simon & Schuster\, 2021) and Democratize Work: The Case for Reorganizing the Economy (University of Chicago Press\, 2022\, originally published in French by Le Seuil\, 2020). She has articles published in the Academy of Management Annals\, Academy of Management Journal\, Academy of Management Review\, Harvard Business Review\, Journal of Business Ethics\, Leadership Quarterly Management\, Management Science\, Organization\, Organization Science\, Organization Studies\, Research in Organizational Behavior\, Stanford Social Innovation Review\, and Strategic Organization. Her research has been featured in publications like The Boston Globe\, Forbes\, Huffington Post\, The Guardian\, and The Washington Post.  \n\n\n\nPower for all: \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Julie Battilana\, the Joseph C. Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and the Alan L. Gleitsman Professor of Social Innovation at the Harvard Kennedy School\, will discuss the fundamentals of power\, debunk the common myths surrounding it\, and discuss how to harness power for positive impact in our lives and in the world. Through her teaching at HBS and as the Founder and Faculty Chair of the Social Innovation and Change Initiative at HKS\, Professor Battilana has taught and worked closely with hundreds of change makers and leaders in social innovation across multiple sectors over the years. Building on this work and nearly two decades of researching the politics of change in organizations and society\, she will share her insights into what power really is and what it is not\, as well as how to identify your own sources of power. This discussion will help you understand and navigate power in your relationships\, organizations\, and society and see power not as dirty business\, but instead energy that can be used for good.

SUMMARY:Power\, Place & Craft: A Conversation with Meena Kadri + Homelore Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening that weaves together storytelling\, craft\, and social innovation as we bring together two exciting initiatives in one.Join us for an evening that weaves together storytelling\, craft\, and social innovation as we bring together two exciting initiatives in one space. This special event features a talk by our Social Innovator in Residence Spring 2025\, Meena Kadri\, alongside the soft opening of Homelore\, a women-led collective exploring diasporic experiences through traditional craft techniques. Meena Kadri\, with a background in anthropology and design\, has worked at the intersection of innovation\, collaboration\, and social change. Her experience spans global human-centered design consultancy IDEO\, community-driven projects in India\, and grassroots initiatives worldwide. Her talk will highlight the role of culture and creativity in fostering community resilience\, touching on themes of power dynamics in public spaces\, savings circles in India\, and community gardens. At the same time\, we celebrate the first exhibition of Homelore\, a project led by Riddhi Varma\, a recent graduate in Masters’ in Management and current DESIS Lab Fellow. Homelore is a women-led collective exploring evolving neocultures shaped by diasporic experiences through traditional craft techniques.Their practice centers on collaboration\, bringing together female artisans from diverse diasporic backgrounds\, creating works that weave together personal narratives\, shared histories\, and the vibrant textures of life in a globalized world. The exhibition probes the alchemy of emergent cultures birthed from the migratory rhythms of diasporas converging in Lisbon\, with embroidery as its silent interlocutor. Through the warp and weft of traditional techniques\, Homelore craft tapestries that map the territories of where the diaspora now dwells based on the ancestral echoes of where they began. These stitched cartographies become artifacts of cultural flux\, fragile yet enduring monuments to the ceaseless metamorphosis of identity. Agenda: Introduction: Anne-Laure Fayard\, Holder of the ERA Chair in Social Innovation\, will introduce Meena Kadri and Homelore.Talk by Meena Kadri on “Collective Culture: Insights on Inclusion”: Insights into her journey from slums to boardrooms\, and the intersection of design\, culture\, and social changeWords from Riddhi Varma: A short introduction to the Homelore exhibition.Informal Gathering & Exhibition Viewing: Stay for a drink\, connect with Meena\, Riddhi and the artists from Homelore (project website here)and explore the artwork.Date & Time: April 10\, 2025Location: Live Content (Edifício 78\, Santos\, R. da Cintura do Porto de Lisboa 6 Armazém i\, 1200-109 Lisboa) A special thank you to Domingos Guimarães\, a very enthusiastic DESIS Lab partner\, for generously offering his space for this big celebration!

SUMMARY:Research Seminar - Sophie Bacq
DESCRIPTION:Sophie Bacq is Professor of Social Entrepreneurship and Coca-Cola Foundation Chair in Sustainable Development at IMD in Switzerland. A globally recognized thought leader in social entrepreneurship and change\, Sophie investigates and theorizes about entrepreneurial action aiming to solve intractable social and environmental problems\, at the individual\, organizational\, and civic levels of analysis. Sophie has taught and conducted empirical research on social entrepreneurship in Europe\, the United States and South Africa. She has published over 40 articles in top-tier management and entrepreneurship journals\, for which she has received multiple awards. She also serves as a Field Editor for the Journal of Business Venturing\, is a member of the Editorial Review Boards of the Academy of Management Journal\, Entrepreneurship: Theory & Practice\, and Journal of Management\, and has guest edited several special issues for Academy of Management Perspectives\, California Management Review\, Journal of Management Studies and International Journal of Management Reviews. Sophie is the Co-Director (with Jill Kickul) of The Annual Social Entrepreneurship Conference\, and Lead Faculty of the award-winning Annual Social Entrepreneurship Doctoral Seminar.Collective Action for Sustainability: Breaking Down Silos in Management Research  Abstract: “Management scholarship has increasingly recognized collective action as crucial for addressing sustainability challenges. While this has generated valuable insights across different management fields\, the literature remains fragmented with limited cross-pollination. Through bibliometric and qualitative analyses of 388 articles\, we identify eighteen distinct research conversations across seven management fields\, revealing both the breadth of collective action scholarship and opportunities for knowledge integration. Our integrative review aims to bridge these conversations while situating sustainability-focused collective action research within broader management scholarship. The review makes three key contributions. First\, we develop an organizing framework that demonstrates how sustainability challenges manifest across multiple levels of analysis and allows us to analyze how different management fields contribute to understanding collective action at different levels. Second\, we show how research conversations not explicitly focused on sustainability can meaningfully inform the study of collective action for sustainability. Third\, we identify promising directions for future research\, including shifting focus from “commons creation” to “commons governance\,” exploring boundary conditions of collective action\, and examining both intended and unintended outcomes. By bringing scholarly communities together\, our review lays the foundation for more rigorous and impactful scholarship at the nexus of CA and sustainability.“

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.

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.

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.

We will then spend most of the time digging\, measuring\, seeding\, planting\, and creating the womb of a ‘tiny little forest’ of 20 square meters. This workshop is right for you if you want to learn about ecology\, nature\, agroforestry\, and anthropology by-doing\, and if you want to have a good time outside with friends stewarding new life. \n\n\n\nThe workshop is organized by the DESIS Lab @ Nova SBEand it’ll take place at the Community Garden at Nova SBE. \n\n\n\nIt is open only to ALL!!!!!!

SUMMARY:João Brites: Economics Workshop – Becoming Makers of a Regenerative Economy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reflective workshop about Regenerative Economics by João Brites\, the Spring 2024 Social Innovator-in-Residence invited by the ERA Chair in Social Innovation and the DESIS Lab at Nova SBE. \n\n\n\nThis is a workshop for everyone who is unsettled by the state of the world\, who questions classical economic theory\, and who is energized by the possibility of self-examining and self-generating new thinking and action on the role of business and economics in enabling society to meet the needs of all within the means of the planet. Throughout this workshop we will embark on a journey to learn from the indigenous peoples of the amazon rainforest\, we will travel to the outer space to kindle our worldview\, and we will invite participants through a series of guided\, self-led reflection exercises on what might make a regenerative economy\, how it might differ from the current one\, the path to achieve it\, and our role in it.
