“…This peripheric condition within the modern capitalist world system, long sustained by structures of colonial differentiation championed by the increasingly heterogeneous and unequal US-led Global North, highlights the need for developing societies all over to foster transformative institutions and policies, and embrace scholarship traditions which move beyond North-South and developmentunderdevelopment divides (Bhambra, 2020;Furtado, 1964;Ndlovu-Gatsheni, 2020;Santos, 1970). The field of Management and Organization Studies also needs to move beyond this dichotomous divide (Alcadipani et al, 2012;Faria, 2023;Jammulamadaka et al, 2021;Nkomo, 2015;Wanderley & Barros, 2019). Such reframing of this production/consumption design embodies transformative possibilities that move beyond the contemporary institutionalization of injustices, inequalities, and impossibilities on a global scale as the only way towards development, especially one that is sustainable.…”
