“…On the one hand the intense, negative felt emotions typically found in crisis and change contexts can impede sensemaking (Maitlis and Sonenshein, 2010;Sarkar and Osiyevskyy, 2018;Dwyer et al, 2023). On the other hand some forms of anxiety can facilitate change in perceptions and adaptive sensemaking, to overcome the strength of entrenched beliefs (Johnsen, 2023;Strike and Rerup, 2016). Our findings support the latter perspective.…”

“…But the literature is scant on how to significantly change management perceptions and hence improve management learning and performance under dynamic complexity. For example, although Johnsen (2023) found that construction entrepreneurs, in an attempt to change the mindset that prevails in the construction industry, challenged the dominant perception of sustainability and thus created a space for new understandings of green architecture, he did not focus on the process whereby these entrenched perceptions were changed. Nor did he suggest how this might happen in different contexts.…”

PurposeThis empirical study uncovers emotional sensemaking factors that cause changes in management perceptions about wicked strategic problems under dynamic complexity. These perception changes improve understanding of, and solutions to, the wicked problem.Design/methodology/approachSenior managers from three large organizations in different sectors participated in gaming simulation workshops. The strategic issues at stake were intractable and divisive. Qualitative methods captured participants' perceptions of the problems and the dynamic complexity that they faced and how they changed.FindingsFlawed management perceptions were revised as sensemaking processes were catalyzed by emotions of shock/surprise that came from experiencing unexpected stakeholder conduct within a simulation. The plausibility of the conduct was strengthened because managers were role-playing stakeholders. The shock/surprise emotion uncoupled attachment to entrenched beliefs, leading to a willingness to revise the flawed perceptions. The changed perceptions created new insights for a solution to the wicked problem.Practical implicationsPractical implications are how management practitioners can improve the tackling of wicked strategic problems through the use of shock and surprise in a gaming simulation.Originality/valueThis research extends theory on the role of emotions in sensemaking under dynamic complexity. The authors uncover how a hierarchy of managers' emotions used in sensemaking explains the catalytic effect of the shock and surprise of unexpected stakeholder conduct on revisions to their perceptions of the outcomes of the dynamic complexity.

“…This holistic view of integrating social, environmental, and economic value is represented in Figure 9. Johnsen [48] contributes to these perspectives by explaining that sustainable business models aim to create superior customer value by contributing to sustainable development for society and the organization. Thus, there is more stakeholder satisfaction under sustainable entrepreneurship.…”

Sustainable Entrepreneurship: A Literature Review

These days, issues such as environmental degradation, the wealth gap, and unequal access to opportunities and resources are increasing. These concerns have increased the need for sustainable entrepreneurship, defined as sustainable business practices. Entrepreneurship is central in transitioning towards a more sustainable future, whereas aligning the social, economic, and ecological objectives and ecological entrepreneurs plays a role. This scoping literature review analyzes the field of sustainable entrepreneurship and the extent of the holistic integration in the global business arena, therefore filling a gap in the existing literature. It aims to analyze the depth of existing pieces of literature on sustainable entrepreneurship, its definitions, and its applications in business practices. The analysis relies upon a literature search on the SCOPUS database around the keywords ‘Sustainability’ and ‘Sustainable Entrepreneurship’. The scientific software VOSviewer is used to better illustrate the linkage of major categories and correspondent trends, related with both business growth and maintenance of ecological systems. It concludes that the desired levels of sustainability require collaborations between all stakeholders, while the transition towards service-oriented business models has contributed to the growth of sustainable entrepreneurship. Nevertheless, existing institutional structures favor current unsustainable businesses and systems over the newer sustainable ones, demanding ecopreneurs to initiate institutional changes.
