“…Although prior studies have investigated issues of social and intellectual capital (Parshakov and Shakina, 2018), they have overlooked the power issues and conflicts inherent to the development of a CU. Thus, future studies may adopt a practice perspective to provide a sociological understanding of the sources of influence and the resources at stake in the governance (Lissillour and Bonet Fernandez, 2020; Monod, Lissillour, Koester, and Qi, 2022) of a CU. Indeed, the development of a CU may occur at the expenses of other units, which are excluded from strategic affairs such as the development of dynamic capabilities.…”

Purpose Balancing exploration and exploitation is a strategic challenge for technology-based companies striving to successfully implement ambidexterity in rapidly changing markets. This study aims to look at the extent in which corporate universities can be instrumental in the cross-functional deployment of the resources, capabilities and experience needed to achieve organizational ambidexterity. Design/methodology/approach This study is the result of a single case study of ZTE University in China. Data from archives, direct observations, and semi-open interviews have been triangulated and analyzed with pattern matching technique. Findings This study analyzed the development of capabilities allowing the strategic combinations of exploration and exploitation, and to clearly witness how the corporate university was dynamically linked with those development. Originality/value The empirical results offer new insights on the most relevant capabilities for technology-based companies and notably those that are more likely to be exploited through a corporate university.

“…For instance, although not yet applied to sustainability, the habitus of agents rooted in Bourdieu's critical theory is a strong theoretical lens to be considered. Lissillour and Bonet (2021) have used this theory to study safety governance issues in the maritime industry. Based on this overview, we consider that this SI contributes to the existing literature by including papers that increase this debate not only at a theoretical level, but also by providing empirical research of the practice of sustainability in O&SCM.…”

Grounded in a sustainability-practice approach, this editorial provides reflections on how sustainability can be embedded as part of organisations' daily operations and supply chain management (SCM) practices. Moving away from the understanding of a practice as a static action, we explore the metaphor of a tree to demonstrate that a practice is both complex and dynamic. In this editorial, we define practice and how sustainability practice became part of operations and SCM. We glance at previous literature on these aspects, including practice theories, and show how the papers gathered in this special issue complement the ongoing scholarly conversation. The papers additionally provide interesting contributions to advance the practice debate. Finally, we suggest several research directions.

“…Of the few studies that examine power, Lissillour and Bonet Fernandez ( 2020 ) adopt a Bourdieusian perspective to understand the balance of power in the governance of the global maritime chain. They highlight the conflict of interest between the different global maritime stakeholders.…”

Over the past decade the number of maritime transportation accidents has fallen. However, as shipping vessels continue to increase in size, one single incident, such as the oil spills from ‘super’ tankers, can have catastrophic and long-term consequences for marine ecosystems, the environment and local economies. Maritime transport accidents are complex and caused by a combination of events or processes that might ultimately result in the loss of human and marine life, and irreversible ecological, environmental and economic damage. Many studies point to direct or indirect human error as a major cause of maritime accidents, which raises many unanswered questions about the best way to prevent catastrophic human error in maritime contexts. This paper takes a first step towards addressing some of these questions by improving our understanding of upstream maritime accidents from an organisation science perspective—an area of research that is currently underdeveloped. This will provide new and relevant insights by both clarifying how ships can be described in terms of organisations and by considering them in a whole ecosystem and industry. A bibliometric review of extant literature of the causes of maritime accidents related to human error was conducted, and the findings revealed three main root causes of human and organisational error, namely, human resources and management, socio-technical Information Systems and Information Technologies, and individual/cognition-related errors. As a result of the bibliometric review, this paper identifies the gaps and limitations in the literature and proposes a research agenda to enhance our current understanding of the role of human error in maritime accidents. This research agenda proposes new organisational theory perspectives—including considering ships as organisations; types of organisations (highly reliable organisations or self-organised); complex systems and socio-technical systems theories for digitalised ships; the role of power; and developing dynamic safety capabilities for learning ships. By adopting different theoretical perspectives and adapting research methods from social and human sciences, scholars can advance human error in maritime transportation, which can ultimately contribute to addressing human errors and improving maritime transport safety for the wider benefit of the environment and societies ecologies and economies.
