    Abstract: The purpose of this open access edited collection is to discuss the role and importance of stakeholder engagement in a sustainable circular economy from multiple theoretical and practical perspectives. Developing and maintaining a circular economy is an essential step to a more environmentally friendly and socially inclusive society. In addition to redesigning products and business models to minimise waste and increase the reuse of materials, a transition towards a sustainable circular economy requires collaboration and co-operation between various stakeholders from all parts of society. An international team of contributors explore how stakeholder engagement can foster and support sustainable change, assessing current literature and laying out guidance for future study. The collection is of interest to academics and students of sustainability management and sustainable business models, stakeholder theory and practice, and the circular economy

    Abstract: This chapter examines how stakeholder engagement can support sustainability transitions in society. We analyze 37 scholarly articles from the relevant literature, published from 2000 to 2020, to explicate the key assumptions and characteristics of stakeholder engagement in sustainability transitions. Our analysis identifies and focuses on four levels of stakeholder engagement: the individual level, the firm level, the industry level and the societal level. We show that stakeholder engagement in sustainability transitions can be understood as a relational, multi-level process that require continuous stakeholder collaboration. We conclude that, in addition to approaching stakeholders as change agents, stakeholder engagement as a relational process can be understood as providing change agency in sustainability transitions. Finally, we suggest pathways for future research on stakeholder engagement in sustainability transitions

    Abstract: Leading Change in a Complex World : Transdisciplinary Perspectives is a transdisciplinary book offering tools for leaders, analysts and students of leadership to navigate in complex and interconnected settings. It proposes an analytical framework based on complexity, relational leadership, and dynamic change. Individual chapters examine these ideas in relation to topical societal, organisational and business challenges such as the changing global security environment, urbanisation, demographic changes, and business-government relations. The leadership roles of heads of states and societal stakeholders are analysed, and versatile leadership and management practices from conflict management to evaluation are introduced. The possibilities for change are examined through global megatrends, shifting global power blocs, changes in consumer practices, as well as those emanating from abstract concepts such as the circular economy
    Abstract: Leading Change in a Complex World : Transdisciplinary Perspectives on poikkitieteellinen kirja, joka tarjoaa johtajille, johtajuuden tutkijoille sekä opiskelijoille työkaluja monimutkaisissa ja kytköksisissä ympäristöissä suunnistamiseen. Kirjassa esitellään analyyttinen viitekehys, joka rakentuu kompleksisuuden, relationaalisuuden ja dynaamisen muutoksen käsitteiden ympärille. Kirjan luvuissa näitä käsitteitä hyödynnetään yhteiskunnan, organisaatioiden, politiikan sekä liike-elämän ilmiöiden analyysiin. Luvut käsittelevät esimerkiksi globaalin turvallisuusympäristön muutosta, kaupungistumista, työvoiman ikääntymistä sekä valtioiden ja yritystoiminnan suhdetta. Johtajuutta tarkastellaan niin valtionjohdon kuin yhteiskunnallisten sidosryhmien toiminnan kautta. Muutoksen mahdollisuuksien tarkastelussa huomio kiinnittyy esimerkiksi megatrendeihin, muuttuviin globaaleihin valtablokkeihin, kulutuskäytäntöihin sekä kiertotalouden mahdollisuuksiin

    Abstract: This chapter argues that the discussion of urban sustainability is in urgent need of new understanding of how ecosystem services are generated in places where human and non-human stakeholders interact within the urban landscape. More than half of the world’s population currently lives in urban areas, and the rate of urbanisation is estimated to increase rapidly in the next three decades ( United Nations, 2014 ). This scale of urbanisation strains both urban and rural ecosystems, which are required to provide nutrition, clean water, fresh air, recreational opportunities, wellbeing and other life-supporting and life-enhancing opportunities to urban dwellers ( Chiesura and de Groot, 2003 ; Fischer and Eastwood, 2016 ; Standish, Hobbs, and Miller, 2013 ). Amidst such challenges as rapid urbanisation and abrupt climatic changes, ecosystem services are needed to provide the material and non-material benefi ts required to keep ever-growing cities liveable ( Alberti, 2016 ; Andersson et al., 2014 ; Finco and Nijkamp, 2001 ; Rees and Wackernagel, 1996 ). However, the current understanding of ecosystem services is inadequate, and the extant research has been criticised for both its anthropocentric bias and its focus on instrumental and monetary valuations of ecosystem services ( Pelenc and Ballet, 2015 ; Schröter et al., 2014 ). Moreover, the lack of a detailed elaboration of the socio-ecological interface of ecosystem services has resulted in the continued segregation of human and non-human processes in ecosystem service generation ( Andersson, Barthel, and Ahrné, 2007 ; Fischer and Eastwood, 2016 ; Maes et al., 2012 )...
