What's underneath? Social skills throughout sustainability transitions

The versatile role of sustainable market entrepreneurs in market transformation: An intervention framework for institutional change

“…These effectual interventions differ per phase and may result in creating normative, cultural‐cognitive or regulatory changes in the institutional environment (see Section 4). For such changes, different skills are necessary from sustainable market entrepreneurs in the various phases (Fohim & Jolly, 2021), but less is known about the agency needed per phase or the interventions that could contribute to the envisioned transition (Antadze & McGowan, 2017; Hoogstraaten et al, 2020; Laasch, 2018; Vasquez‐Delsolar & Merino, 2021). The transition starts with Phase 1 that entails the existence of an equilibrium in which unsustainable behaviours are challenged to change as lock‐in mechanisms that reinforce path dependence create a specific direction to action (Garud et al, 2010; Newig et al, 2019; Vergne & Durand, 2010).…”

“…Through the piloting of new sustainable value propositions, sustainable entrepreneurship contributes to raising awareness via story telling of the sustainable issues that sustainable value propositions aim to address and solve (Nijhof et al, 2019; Thompson et al, 2015). As such, established symbols are altered, and alternative narratives are provided regarding existing value propositions in any given market (Nijhof et al, 2019; Thompson et al, 2015), also changing the discourse on morality at the landscape level (Fohim & Jolly, 2021). Furthermore, in this phase, sustainable market entrepreneurs collaborate with governmental and financial institutions to gain resources including early stage funding and valuable scientific knowledge (Simons & Nijhof, 2021).…”

“…Hence, it is the responsibility of the sustainable market entrepreneur to ensure that no mission drift occurs (Battilana & Dorado, 2010; Holtslag et al, 2021), by carefully monitoring the generation of impact in this phase. Using their moral compass, sustainable market entrepreneurs enact values that reinforced the discourse acknowledging the new sustainable normal in the landscape level (Fohim & Jolly, 2021). Other actors, e.g., impact investors (Holtslag et al, 2021), support sustainable market entrepreneurs by developing adequate investment criteria.…”

Games Learning Method in Improving Entrepreneurial Skills in Entrepreneurship Learning

“…Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) of the existing literature on games learning. The SLR method is known to produce robust, reliable and replicable findings [16]. Our study contributes to the existing literature by systematically reviewing findings from 81 articles on Games learning in the journal ScienceDirect and searches on Google Scholar.…”

“…As social work begins the process of expanding its professional worldview to encompass more fully a concern with the natural environment [13], and recognition that human well-being is fundamentally and inextricably linked with environmental well-being, the role of social work education is brought into focus. It has been argued that the shift required by the profession if it is to truly embrace a green or ecosocial paradigm will be dramatic and transformative [14,15].…”
