▼ The number of wind energy projects in Europe has increased rapidly in the last decade and this growth is expected to continue. In the Netherlands there is a similar increase in the amount of wind energy projects. Wind energy projects, as large-scale infrastructural works and building projects, have numerous effects on the surrounding communities. The most prominent challenge in onshore wind energy realisation in the Netherlands was identified as a lack of acceptance by the local community and the potential for this lack of acceptance to result in resistance. This research focusses on acceptance of wind energy on a local level. However, acceptance can be a complex issue. There are multiple actors, technical characteristics, economic factors and institutional boundaries involved. To analyse this complexity, this research explores which impacts are perceived by local residents of a wind park; impacts as noise nuisance and shadow flicker. Literature suggests links between perceived impacts and the local context of a wind energy project. Local factors, like the height of the turbines, could influence local residents experience on for example noise nuisance. This research extends on these possible relations and aims to research how characteristics of a wind project and perceived impacts of local residents could relate. A case study of 18 Dutch wind energy projects was executed. For each project one or two interviews with a stakeholder were conducted on the perceived impacts of local residents. The data was combined with desk research on the characteristics of the wind parks. For each case study was further analysed how project characteristics and perceived impacts of residents could relate. Multiple possible relations were identified between characteristics and perceived impacts. Examples of these are turbine characteristics as distance to residents, height of turbines, the presence of other wind parks nearby and obstruction lighting. Additionally, regional characteristics as accumulation of existing regional impacts, regional property prices, regional stress and the if the wind park is located in a silent area were indicated as influential in some case studies. Institutional factors have been attributed to influence the process. These included the administrative division, decision making power and legal guidelines. Furthermore, measures to reduce or compensate impacts were also named as influential. These include the extent of financial participation and a standstill provision. Two general characteristics influencing wind energy acceptance in general were identified. These were if the wind park was located on an industrial site and if the wind park was a repowering project. In some cases, the characteristics could relate to other characteristics or perceived impacts relate to other perceived impacts. For example, interviewees stated the concerns for housing value decrease were directly related to concerns for shadow flicker, noise nuisance and visual impact. Even on a case level, multiple relations were mentioned and…

▼ As mankind’s awareness of environmental problems increases, and products and services in all industries are looking for ways to become more sustainable, so too does the funeral industry need to innovate to reduce their environmental impacts. However, due to cultural norms and ethical principles tied to death care, such innovation is not easy to introduce to the public. As a result, sustainable developments in the funeral industry, and literature based thereon, are still scarce. This study aims to address this research gap through an exploratory, quantitative research approach. Although these problems play at a global scale, this study focuses on the Dutch scenario, taking recent changes and current developments into account. Based on an analysis of the resource flows in current mainstream funeral alternatives, a comparison between the funeral and waste management industries is made. Whereas both fields of work have a lot in common on technical and logistical levels, their social aspects differ significantly. The waste management sector is not bound to nearly as many social factors, and is significantly further in the development and integration of sustainable systems that people use on a daily basis. Real-life examples of these new developments are analysed, to identify which factors played a prominent role in the social acceptance by its users, the public. In order to do so, a custom social acceptance framework for (quasi-)circular funeral technologies, based on pre-existing frameworks from different theoretical backgrounds for social acceptance in other contexts, is developed. The seven values of community, connectedness, family, cleanliness, trust, procedural fairness and attitude are identified as most influential in the contexts of composting municipal organic waste and the collection and sorting of MSW (Municipal Solid Waste). These values are then analysed in the context of death care literature, which allows for a comparison between both industries. With such varying cultural backgrounds to these technologies, social values in an acceptance framework are also bound to show plenty of differences. Interesting to note are the numerous similarities, reinforcing the initial assumption that the two industries are comparable. Based on the identified differences, ideas are conceptualised that implement aspects that should positively influence the introduction of sustainable waste management systems in the death care industry. These ideas, and other relevant developments in the industry, are discussed with various funeral experts. Different perspectives of these topics can be analysed through their unique backgrounds. With their feedback, the ideas are updated with experience and knowledge from within the field, which is used to develop two sets of recommendations. A key differentiation is made between sustainable funeral alternatives and (quasi-)circular funeral technologies. The recommendations provide a wide variety of approaches to increase the social acceptance of either two categories. Although there’s room for…

▼ Every year new Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) projects are initiated by governmental institutes. The Dutch government - for example - recently invested € 70 million to look for technological opportunities in the ITS market. However, although significant sums are invested, the return in realized projects is limited. This is because the ITS projects don’t produce adequate results. But what causes these inadequate results? The literature implies that, along the process of ITS-projects, a number of challenging issues tend to surface. Policymakers seemingly do not know how to cope with these issues. Examples of these issues are amongst others: (1) uncertainty about the technological performance of the system, (2) an unclear vision of the potential of the system in the market, and (3) potential hurdles in the collaboration process between relevant project stakeholders. These indications show that ITS projects are subject to a considerable degree of uncertainty. More knowledge about uncertainties looming up during ITS projects, and information of adequate reactions for policymakers on this phenomenon can be of great help to produce more satisfactory project results. Hence, this thesis explores the different types of uncertainties and subsequently aims in providing insights in how policymakers can cope more effectively with these different types of uncertainties. This thesis starts with the examination of three correlated factors, namely 1) the number and types of uncertainties emerging in ITS projects, 2) the extent of awareness of policymakers on these uncertainties, and 3) the way policymakers tend to act in the face of uncertainties. By means of three ex-post case studies, insights were obtained on these factors. After analysing these three cases, thirteen different uncertainties were identified and distinguished. The policymakers in these ITS-projects were only partly aware of those uncertainties. I analysed five situations of uncertainty ‘unawareness’. From those five ‘unawareness’ factors, four had an impact on the outcome of the project. This emphasizes the importance of awareness among policymakers of the different types of uncertainty. In addition, based on policy guidelines supplied by the literature, I evaluated the way policymakers acted when coming across uncertainties. This evaluation showed that policymakers didn’t follow adequate strategies to cope with the different values of uncertainties. Even worse, more than once uncertainties were deliberately ignored. Policymakers tend not to know how to deal with uncertainties in ITS projects and to ignore them. When policymakers do not ignore uncertainties, they tend to follow strategies and policies that are inadequate to cope with the different types of uncertainties. When comparing the findings of these three case studies with the suggestions made by the literature, we deduce that there is a lack of knowledge on ITS-project policymakers can act effectively when coming across uncertainties. My case studies support the…

▼ In a traditional view, innovation is seen as a silver bullet to bring well-being to society. However, various reports seem to prove that this assumption is no longer valid. Almost always, the adverse impacts of innovation endorse that innovation is no longer a sole province of innovators. In many areas, innovations interact with stakeholders from multiple backgrounds. In order to allow a ‘better society with a better innovation’, scholars then raise a concern to take into account an ethical perspective in the innovation processes. Several frameworks have been offered to fulfill such demands. However, it seems that these prior concepts find little fit with the current challenges that society faces. This then drives the emergence of a new innovation approach, namely responsible innovation. However, current conceptions of responsible innovation suffer from a failure to take a quantitative assessment into account. Regrettably, this failure becomes a shortcoming of current rationale in the responsible innovation arena. Of particular concern is the absence of a scale to measure a level of individual behavior in regards to the responsible innovation concept, namely a responsible innovation scale. At this moment, this scale is arguably a necessity in the business context because it allows the innovators to measure how responsible they are while undertaking their jobs. In order to develop such a scale, a survey was firstly administered to 244 respondents. Subsequently, the response was examined using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Stability of factor structure that was derived from EFA was then assessed using coefficient comparability in a large amount of random half sample. The most stable factor structure was subsequently validated using multiple statistical analytic methods. The finding showed that such measurement tool can be operationalized using eight questions. Finally, study limitations and fruitful future studies were offered to improve the scale in certain contexts.

▼ The theory of the Habermasian public sphere is applied to Twitter. To do so, the traditional literature on public opinion is combined with more recent literature on social media. After the literature research the main knowledge gap is identified. This gap is the lacking relation between the philosophical investigation on public opinion on Twitter and an empirical investigation on actual tweets. This thesis combines the fields of philosophy and data science to contribute to the knowledge gap. Palm oil is used as a case study. The main research question is: How can public opinion on Twitter be characterized, on the case study of palm oil? The findings of this research suggest how Twitter, in its current form, does not create the optimal environment for forming something that is approaching public opinion due to five characteristics: the exclusion of more than half the world population (a), the domination by a few users (b1) (often with strategic interest (b2)) , the pollution through spam (c), Twitter’s role (d) and the characteristics of tweets (e). a. The exclusion of more than half the world population from social media is at least based on the lack of internet access, new media literacy and cultural capital. b.1. The dominating key players are users who get the most attention from other users, policymakers and journalists. This can either be on a specific topic, or transcending topics. The findings from this research suggest that organizations like Greenpeace, BBC Earth and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil have an above average role in guiding the thinking of the public and therewith steering public opinion. It is difficult to find a user that is saying something completely different than what the defined influencers are saying. These few key players play an above average role in defining public opinion on Twitter, and the influence of this role is not limited to Twitter. b.2. The tweets analyzed show how the dominant key players often act with a strategic interest in mind. The public sphere should, according to Habermas, be free of power and ideology and the only common interest should be the interest in good opinion formation. c. The pollution through spam is argued to play a serious role in influencing public opinion on Twitter. The exact effects of fake accounts and hyperactive automated users is unclear but it can be argued, as can be seen from the examples, that they cause a stream of misinformation and therewith influence public opinion. d. It cannot be proved what Twitter is doing, and if and how they have influenced the debate on palm oil, since the algorithm is nontransparent. Examples like Morozov’s accusation of censorship in Twitter’s ‘trending algorithm’ shows the influence they can have e. tweets are not just 280 characters. They are often carefully considered combinations of hashtags, calls for action, snippets of information, interpreted data and images or videos. These characteristics all help in convincing…

▼ This research answers the question “What kind of governance arrangements can be used to safeguard sustainability when dealing with peer-to-peer parcel delivery?” by looking at the actors that are currently active in the field, how these initiatives incorporate sustainability, what kind of risks and chances for sustainability are mentioned by other sources and by looking at what regulations and arrangements are currently in place concerning sustainability and peer-to-peer parcel delivery initiatives. The actors can be divided in Platforms, Governmental actors, Knowledge Institutes and the Transportation sector. The Platforms currently do very little when it comes to sustainability, and multiple sources see potential risks such as a decrease in efficiency, and an increase in emissions. Currently there are very little regulations, rules or governance arrangements in place, especially concerning sustainability, but multiple recommendations like renewing the income cap and including these platforms in specific governance arrangements could be effective ways to safeguard sustainability when dealing with peer-to-peer parcel delivery.

▼ This thesis compares the state of the cultivated meat (CM) industry in the USA and Europe. To do so, extensive desk-research was conducted, summarising existing data, and 21 interviews with CM experts were held. The result is an analysis comprised of both quantitative and qualitative data. In this thesis, the CM industry was understood as technological innovation system (TIS), a framework often used to analyse emerging industries. To compare the state of the CM industry in the USA and Europe, three research questions were answered. The first was: What is the structure of the cultivated meat innovation system, specifically its
technology, actors and networks, and institutions? To answer this research question, a review of CM’s
technology, an overview of actors and their associated networks and of the institutions governing CM is provided. The answer to this research question is in summary that CM is a nascent
technology with many uncertainties from a technological standpoint, that its actor networks are still emerging, and that the regulatory framework is relatively clear in both the USA and Europe. The second research question was: How does the functional performance of the cultivated meat innovation system compare in the assessed regions? To answer this research questions, seven functions provided by the TIS framework were analysed. These seven functions are argued to influence the development of an innovation in a given region, and comprise for instance Knowledge Development and Diffusion, Entrepreneurial Activity, or the Venture Capital Availability. The answer to this research question is in summary that the USA is leading across all assessed indicators. The CM industry is clearly leading in the USA over Europe. The only indicator on which Europe is leading is public research output on CM. The third and last research question was: What themes with importance to the near-time development of the cultivated meat industry can be identified? To answer this research question, a thematic analysis was applied to the interview content that could not already be understood through the lens of the TIS framework. The answer to this research question is in summary that there are two important challenges for CM: the development of its technological system, and the development of its supply chain. For the technological system, specifically, the main challenge is to reduce costs. For the supply chain, interviewees identified the development of a work division in the industry of high importance, although this appears to be already partially under way. After presenting the results, an extensive discussion is provided. Two points of the findings are particularly worthwhile to point out. Firstly, the dominant role of the USA compared to Europe. Although this thesis indicates that the USA is clearly leading compared to Europe, the results should not be overinterpreted. The number of CM start-ups in both regions is identical, although the US’ start-ups appear more advanced; and, as already mentioned, the public research output is…

▼ With the help of a qualitative case study and existing literature from scientific fields like social sciences, psychology, policy studies, and innovation studies a research framework was compiled for studying imagination as a driving force for innovation fueled by its social context. A try-out of this research framework suggested the result of this graduation project is a promising step towards the development of a tool that helps to identify and facilitate the imaginative needs of individuals to engage successfully in inter-organizational innovation projects, if it can be merged with work on organizational culture and personal decision styles. This research framework has four levels: 1.The description of the main concepts innovation, inter-organizational collaboration, and imagination. The innovation considered in this research is process innovation from existing companies (a category that fits most innovation projects driven by CSR-policies). Innovation in an inter-organizational network is described as a complex decision-making process, and imagination as a driving force for innovation is described as providing a mental image of the innovation at hand that is well-developed in a creativity dimension and an emotional dimension, which provides the flexibility, holism, and motivation for action that is needed to develop and implement and innovation successfully. 2.A conceptual framework that ties together these main concepts. This level is built upon a conceptual framework from social psychology that links stimuli from the social context to behavior from the individual via a black box of cognitive processes and a mental representation. Based on the empirical research, this conceptual framework is extended with an additional pathway between stimuli from the social environment and behavior, and with other ‘destinations’ for the results of the cognitive processes than just the mental representation of the current innovation project. 3.A layered operationalization of the four elements in the conceptual framework. To operationalize the stimuli from the social environment, the concepts arena games (from policy studies) and network structure (from group dynamic theory) are used. For the operationalization of the mental representation, five imaginative qualities are determined. Three of them are creative and increase the flexibility of the individual’s innovative action, and two of them are emotional and increase the motivation for action of the individual. The operationalization of the cognitive processes and the behavior of the arena attendees emerged from the empirical data, just like additional layers of operationalization for the other elements of the conceptual framework that are probably more specific for the specific research context of this graduation project. The cognitive processes are operationalized as a set of nested trade-offs that assess the quality and fitness of proposals concerning the innovation project that are done in the collaboration arena. If the final judgement of this assessment…

▼ The extensive amount of knowledge possessed by an organization represents one of its most valuable resources. Nonetheless, it is not always easy to pinpoint, arrange and reuse such knowledge in an effective and productive manner. Moreover, in the last two decades companies have been increasingly using serious games and simulations for the most diverse scopes. While a consequent interest has been growing in the field of knowledge management regarding how to codify and reuse the information generated by these new innovative tools, there is still no clear understanding of what are the games' requirements which are responsible for the generation of knowledge. In addition to this, many theories can be identified in the available literature which developed methods and models for knowledge conversion and sharing; however, none of this models has yet been applied to the context of serious games and simulations. As a consequence of this recognized gap in the available literature, as well as of the need for organizations to develop a series of knowledge management systems and practices for the sharing and reusing of knowledge generate through games, this thesis research aims at understanding what are the necessary requirements for games to foster the development, as well as the reuse, of tacit knowledge. Primary scope of this thesis project has thus been to determine what games' elements represent a fundamental requirement for the generation of both explicit knowledge and tacit skills. In addition to this, the research has taken into consideration different groups of actors (game designers, participants/players, project team members, managers), and attempted to verify whether any dissimilarities exist among these groups in the way of perceiving games' requirements, and their impact on knowledge creation and sharing. Finally, in the light of the obtained results, suggestions have been proposed on the most appropriate knowledge management systems and procedure to use in the context of serious games and simulations. The research has been carried out in the form of an embedded, single-case study: the main unit of analysis - and client - was ProRail, the government organization which manages the maintenance and extensions of the national railway network infrastructure, the allocation of rail capacity, and the traffic control. The embedded units of analysis were instead represented by different games employed within the organization (OV-SAAL, Ketensimulatie, ERTMS). Once the games have been identified, other research methods have been applied within the case study framework, in particular: semi-structured interviews and Q-sorting. Concluding this dissertation report, recommendations for ProRail - the customer of this thesis project - have been outlined, by combining the obtained insights with theories from available literature. The scope has been to define suggestions for a knowledge management framework for serious games and simulations. The suggested framework, result of the joint efforts of…

▼ In 2008, the crash of the housing market bubble lead not only to the collapse of the U.S financial system, but also to a Global Financial Crisis. The Eurozone was hurt, and the impact was not uniform. The “sick periphery”, and in particular Greece, still suffer from the consequences of this crisis. After three adjustment programmes and €293 billion in financial assistance, Greece is weakened and left in stagnation. The country is aging, and if this reality does not change in the coming years, we will not be talking about a lost decade, but about a lost generation, and even worse, a lost nation. When we observe stagnation in economic growth, we should examine carefully the slowdown of TFP growth. Consequently, we investigate whether there was a long-run slowdown of TFP growth in the Greek economy and what are the other contributing factors that can explain this decline. On this basis, we will propose policies and strategies to the Greek government and private sector for a new and effective National Innovation System.

▼ Over the past few decades, sustainable development has become one of society's most important challenges. In an effort to become sustainable, many companies experience an increasing need to measure, manage and improve the negative economic, environmental and social impacts caused by their organizational behavior along corporate supply chains and product life cycles. Sustainability performance assessment methods are a means for business decision-makers to meet such needs. While sustainability performance assessment methods for economic and environmental dimensions are well-developed, the social dimension of sustainability is lacking in that regard. Social sustainability entails issues such as equity and human rights of company stakeholders such as employees, customers, local community members, value chain actors and society. There is an increasing concern to incorporate social sustainability by businesses so as to become sustainable in all three dimensions; however, an empirical tool is needed to for measuring the social impacts of the company operations and making improvements. The Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) tool was developed for the assessment of the social dimension of sustainability in a meaningful way for application in the business world. United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the Society for Environmental Toxicologists and Chemists (SETAC) developed S-LCA Guidelines and Methodological Sheets in 2009 and 2013, respectively, for assessing the social impacts of products and services across the life cycle. The UNEP/SETAC S-LCA methodological framework has been considered the “landmark in the field” of social sustainability assessment because it provides a view of the value chain, an aspect lacking in other social sustainability assessment tools. Even with recent increasing publications by S-LCA practitioners, however, S-LCA is still at an early stage of research and the UNEP/SETAC Guidelines leave a lot of room for interpretation. Thus, it is urged to conduct more research in the field of S-LCA, and a main way to contribute to its further development is through case studies. This research aims to contribute in this way by developing and applying a S-LCA methodology to a case study of the ZERO BRINE project in the Netherlands. The ZERO BRINE project is a European Union-funded partnership that works on zero liquid discharge
technology for water, salt and magnesium recovery from brine effluents in the chemical process industry. The main objective of this thesis is to assess the social sustainability performances of the organizations in the ZERO BRINE system in the Netherlands using the UNEP/SETAC S-LCA framework as a reference, so as to determine the social impacts associated with the project as well as to contribute to the further development of the S-LCA methodology. Despite some limitations, in general, the approach proposed in this thesis succeeds in providing a profile of social sustainability which highlights the social hotspot areas that need improvements along the value chain.

▼ More than half of Mexico’s population is living in a type of poverty, recognized as a multidimensional challenge with a geographical context. Even though Mexico’s poverty is measured in a multifaceted way, the concept of Energy Poverty has not been studied, per se, by governmental institutions. It is until recently that the study of this concept in Mexico has been undertaken by Mexican researchers, focusing on measuring it at a national and subnational level through various energy services at the household level. However, any research has been done until now to identify people’s energy needs in rural areas in the country. Thus, this study objective is to research this situation through a qualitative-exploratory research approach. Focusing on the particular case of rural areas in Mexico, where more poverty is experienced, and less research has been done. Different available and governmental supported technologies in Mexico are analyzed to address Energy Poverty. While translating people’s daily routines into specific energy needs, which could be overcome and satisfied with the evaluated technologies, to reduce or abate this situation. As the used approach comes with some disadvantages, a bunch of different methodologies has been used to carry out this research and reduced drawbacks. In the first place, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are used to minimize researcher biases and identify the target population at the macro level. In this way, it is diminished the research approach disadvantage of generalization to a broader community. Narrative and thematic analyses are used to investigate in a more refined level people’s energy practices leading to energy necessities, reducing population under-representation by interviewing a larger sample. Finally, Energy Biographies are used to determine participants necessities according to their daily practices concerning energy use in their homes, attenuating researcher biases and increasing research usefulness as a tool for decision making. Additionally, a comparison between people’s energy necessities and different available technologies to tackle them, according to the energy services technologies can provide, are analyzed to see how technologies characteristics fulfill people’s needs. After developing the different methodologies, it can be concluded that many rural communities in Mexico are experiencing Energy Poverty, where the higher is in the Tropical region (south of the country), followed by the Temperate (center of Mexico) and the Extreme Warm one (north of Mexico). Additionally, Energy Poverty in Mexico is mostly related to the fuel that is used for cooking. Whenever technologies are assessed, it will pop up the question if a given
technology life’s cycle, is enough to achieve a balance of the benefits against the impacts. Mainly concerning energy poverty, this is highly relevant; because not necessarily having the most up-to-date
technology will solve the problem. Instead, having a
technology that can be developed with local materials according to user’s needs…

▼ Climate change has been largely attributed to global temperatures rising over the years. This has been further mitigated by the increased usage of fossil fuels, deforestation, increased livestock farming, and chemical emissions, as a result of the large-scale industrialization of developing nations, combined with the increased consumption of goods and services all across the world (Steffen et. al., 2018). While separate research can be conducted in individual fields, it has become increasingly apparent that interdisciplinary research is imperative. The Kaya Identity was formulated by Yoichi Kaya to form a relationship between carbon emissions and economic and technological factors, particularly in the form of ‘growth factors’ in this thesis. The Kaya Identity has since been a mainstay of analyzing carbon emissions by internationally acclaimed bodies like the United Nations. To specify the research objectives a few research questions were asked: What form have policies to curb carbon emissions taken until now and what are the main points of differentiation between developed and developing countries? Using the Kaya Identity framework, what have been the main trends in energy efficiency and carbon intensity, thus identifying the main factors that policies have been aimed at correcting? What are the trends in energy efficiency and carbon emissions in each of the main sectors of the economy: transport, industry and manufacture, energy and heat, and buildings? What are the main deep decarbonization pathways which can be implemented by a developing economy (India) and a developed economy (the United Kingdom)? To find answers to these questions, metadata over a period of thirty years was decomposed over the different sectors in India and the United Kingdom. The results of the decomposition showed that while the United Kingdom showed a decreasing trend in carbon emissions over time, India has shown an opposite trend. Also, technological factors have had a sufficient impact in offsetting carbon emissions in the United Kingdom, shown by negative growth percentages. Similar trends are observed in most individual sectors in the UK, except for the building sector, where the
technology factor has not sufficient to offset the scale factor, showing us that it is a sector which needs particular focus. In India it is evident that the effect of technological factors needs to be enhanced, since the scale factors will. In each of the chapters, policies which were implemented for corresponding sectors looked at as well. A regression analysis was then done till the year 2050 to predict the future trends of carbon emissions, followed by a stakeholder analysis of a possible
technology in each sector. A two-phase solution is suggested since the demand for energy will never cease; first by integrating carbon capture technologies into existing industrial methods, followed by large-scale investments into the research and development of technologies with a much higher efficiency which have a greater chance of mass acceptance into society…

▼ The consumption of natural resources by modern societies, the environmental and social impacts that are associated with it, and the possible pathways to reach more sustainable patterns of consumption, constitute a significant field of study in environmental, economic, and social sciences. With the majority of scientific researches approaching sustainability while keeping economic growth as a central prerequisite, the following research adopts an alternative pathway, connected to the concept of strong Sustainable Consumption. The research project aims to investigate how Greek society can be transformed towards strong Sustainable Consumption by the agency of the alternative economic model of Social and Solidarity Economy. The emergence of Social and Solidarity Economy in Greece, during the economic and social crisis that the country faced from 2008 onwards, presents itself as an opportunity to investigate how such an alternative economic system may contribute to the expansion of strong Sustainable Consumption. As there is a lack of scientific studies addressing the transition towards Sustainable Consumption under Social and Solidarity Economy, the present thesis provides innovative results that could lead to further research on the subject. For this purpose, the following research question was formulated: How do Social and Solidarity Economy initiatives in modern Greece contribute to the transformation of Greek society towards ‘strong’ Sustainable Consumption? An extensive literature review on the concepts of strong Sustainable Consumption and Social and Solidarity Economy, alongside an examination of the current practices of the latter in the country of Greece, are presented. The individual initiatives are chosen as the unit of analysis of the research design to study the social transition. The development of an analytical framework, based on the theoretical framework of Transformative Social Innovation, attempts to answer the formulated research question. Under this framework Social and Solidarity Economy is defined as a Social Innovation that is described as a change in social relations, involving new ways of doing, organising, framing and/or knowing. The framework investigates the levels of transformative change that such innovations can achieve, mainly their transformative ambition, potential and impact. The methodology proposed to implement the framework follows the multiple case study approach followed by a cross-case comparison. Based on the literature review on the state of Social and Solidarity Economy in Greece, it was revealed that cooperatives comprise the most active and legally contextualised form of Social and Solidarity Economy in the country. Consequently, the selected cases were cooperative ventures operating in different areas of Greece. The research results enrich the knowledge on the different ways that cooperatives develop new social relations and new ways to frame, organise, do and know Social and Solidarity Economy. The analysis revealed that all cases relate to strong Sustainable Consumption…

▼ Twenty years ago, American-style shareholder capitalism, with its focus on maximising shareholders’ value (MSV), was widening its lead (in terms of economic growth) over European-style stakeholder capitalism. Nevertheless, the U.S. economy runs large trade deficits, inequality in income and wealth has risen, and there is a growing disappointment in the ability of American capitalism to deliver on its economic promise of prosperity. Evidence of superior long-run performance of enterprises operating in economies (such as Germany) where the MSV hypothesis is not the norm guiding corporate governance (but co-determination), suggests (at the minimum) that there are approaches to corporate governance which may be superior to MSV. In this thesis, the longer-run impacts of two alternative systems of corporate governance are explored with the aid of two business case studies—performed on General Motors (GM), from the U.S., and Volkswagen (VW), from Germany—with an aim to find the extent to which their diverse systems of corporate governance have contributed to (dis)investments in innovation. It has been found that, unlike the conditions at VW, the lack of a stable decision-making structure; inability to identify and confront competition; high profit-orientation, short-termism, yearly stock buybacks and regulations which permits it, and stock-based remuneration rationalised by the MSV hypothesis; flexible labour markets and downsizing; focus on the development of “general” skills; and aggressive debt financing, have shaped the corporate governance of GM and have affected its innovative capabilities. Moreover, VW—with its strong long-term competence development motive, technocratic managers, and better debt ratios—can be expected to identify and sustain its new (radical) innovation projects and if successful, can aid VW to emerge from any cost-disadvantage. GM can be expected to possess superior proprietary technologies and radical innovations or could be in a path of acquiring them. But, it is likely that with its current low cash margins and riskier credit-risk exposure—as a result of MSV perspective in corporate governance—GM may be placed at a cost disadvantage if the innovations fail or fail to appropriate gains.

▼ In the packaging industry, there are certain criteria that characterize whether a package is sustainable or not. Thus, the design of the product is decided by satisfying the aforementioned criteria. However, when the whole supply chain is under study, the process is not so straightforward and the related science field is Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). In this master thesis the effects of the food industry specific supply chain sustainability criteria on the package design will be investigated. With a thorough literature review those criteria are going to be identified, while with interviews data about the current package alternatives of certain products will be collected. With these inputs a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem is formulated and will be solved with the use of the Best-Worst Method (BWM). On the one hand, the BWM achieves the ranking of the supply chain sustainability criteria by estimating their respective weights and on the other hand the selection of the optimal design among the alternatives. The implementation of the analysis took place for three selected products of the Kraft Heinz Company; the Heinz Tomato Ketchup, the Heinz Seriously Good Mayonnaise and the Heinz Beans. The preferences of the supply chain members of these selected products were documented and the optimal package designs were selected. It has to be underlined that equal importance was given to the weights of the six different supply chain members and the three dimensions of sustainability. The dispenser Sauce – O – Mat was selected as optimal for the sauces, while the Can for the beans. It was proved through what-if scenarios that modifying the weights that that decision-maker assigns to the preferences of the supply chain members and the importance of the dimensions of sustainability has an effect on the selection of the optimal design. In the end, a decision-making tool was created that improves the selection process of package alternatives in the food packaging industry.

▼ In the Netherlands the cities of Rotterdam and Amsterdam are coping with problems of air quality and congestion caused by inner-city transport. The continued demand for cleaner air, especially in the inner-city, has produced multiple experiments in sustainable transport.Some of these solutions can be seen as radical innovations; however a guideline on implementing radical innovations does not exist. Innovation in the transport sector has predominantly been incremental. Radical steps in the transport regime have also been met with resistance of incumbent stakeholders. As such, the current regime needs a radical change if future goals of improving air quality should be achieved within the desired timeframe. A method to introduce radical innovation in a regime is to set-up a strategic niche, a niche that has the ultimate goal of changing the current regime. This thesis has reviewed experiments done with large electric trucks in the cities of Rotterdam and Amsterdam. These experiments both originate from the FREVUE project that strives to introduce electric freight transport in urban Europe. The main approach of this thesis has been conducting desk research on grey literature, open data from the FREVUE project, and by conducting interviews among prime stakeholders of the projects. This study finds that stakeholders possess little knowledge on Strategic Niche Management, however the three main elements in setting-up a strategic niche occur in more than one occasion in the experiments that were predominantly of a technical nature. All elements are endorsed by actions, or experiences of the stakeholders in the experiments. In addition several stakeholders stated that the enrolment of OEMs and Banks could have been helpful in building a business case and propose the use of a champion or agent of change to aid the stakeholders in their efforts.Learning can be subdivided in first order and second order learning. First order learning comprised of pure technical learning elements, such as reliability and operating range, was the main goal of the FREVUE project. Second order learning, interaction and policies, also occurred for both experiments.Even though second order learning was not the main purpose of the experiments, stakeholders verified that second order learning occurred. The contributions this study makes are practical, scientific and managerial.The building of social networks and the enrolment of more actors, led to the addition of champion theory as a method to gain access to the necessary network and to convince stakeholders to participate in the project. It also became clear that the stakeholders that were currently participating did not do so out of purely monetary reasons.

▼ As innovations became the source of competitive advantage for many companies, creativity became an incredibly valued trait, sought in individuals during recruitment processes for example. Creativity can be defined as the ability to generate novel and useful idea. However, as the world saw many creative inventions resulting in harmful innovations, as well as creative endeavors resulting in deceptive and even criminal behavior, many researchers started questioning the relationship between creativity and ethics. One research area of emerging necessity, which has been getting continually more attention, is the area of Responsible Research and Innovation, which analyses how the process of creating something new, on the basis of research and innovation, can be done in a more responsible way, reflecting the need and values of society (Owen, Macnaghten, & Stilgoe, 2012). In that way, it is possible to see efforts towards making the creative achievements of certain individuals or groups more ethical, which refers to the discussion between ethics and creativity. For being a considerably new area of research, there is still much left to be done. While most studies currently employ a macro perspective, focusing on how to systematize the development of a Responsible Research and Innovation concept, this work intends to identify individual characteristics of responsible innovators, thus looking at the micro level. This adds a new perspective to the scientific efforts in this area, showing a different way of approaching the same topic. Recognizing how the responsible innovative behavior happens should make it possible to better understand its motivations and how to reinforce them. By incentivizing those behaviors, society will benefit from more ethical efforts in innovation, reducing both intended and unintended harmful consequences for innovation.

▼ Menstruation is a natural and healthy monthly phenomenon for women. However, many women across India struggle with it. Due to a number of barriers, these women are not able to use sanitary products resulting in a risk of contracting reproductive tract infections (RTIs), also their self-esteem and self-confidence also gets affected. This has consequences: girls dropping out of school, women quitting work, reluctance to be part of social events and the infections leading to severe health related complications to name a few. Hence, social entrepreneurs in the field of menstrual hygiene management decided to address this social problem by establishing small-scale production units that make low-cost sanitary products and run awareness campaigns. However, the diffusion of these low-cost sanitary products remains very low. Therefore, raising questions about the sustainability of these small-scale production units that have cropped up across India. Thus, in this research, a conceptual framework is built to help understand the social innovation (SI) process of making and selling low-cost sanitary products, and clearly identify the salient factors that influence the diffusion of these sanitary products made by the small-scale production units for this complex market. Eight salient factors were identified that influenced the diffusion of low-cost sanitary products among women in India: relative advantage, complementary product & services, network & interpersonal ties, promotion platforms, intermediaries, social structure, political factors, cultural & psychological factors. Based on these findings, it led to five policy recommendations and three recommendations to the social enterprises. The policy recommendations are: i. Changes to GST exemption on sanitary products. ii. Central action committee to ensure consensus in promotion of sanitary products. iii. Revision in existing standards for sanitary products. iv. Sanitary waste management. v. Programming for menstrual health programs. While, the recommendations to the small-scale production units are: i Develop environment friendly sanitary products with more size and colour variations. ii. To improve the accessibility of the sanitary products. iii. To collaborate with other actors to build and run awareness programs.

▼ Authors such as Clough (1955) and Rostow (1960) believed that countries endowed with natural resources could achieve sustainable economic growth. This belief was based on the role coal and oil had during the 19th and 20th century in the industrial development of countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States of America. However, this perspective started to change in the early 1980´s and has prevailed throughout the years, economists have observed that developing countries rich in non-renewable natural resources such as minerals and fossil fuels, have had a slower economic growth compared to developing resource-poor countries. The economist Auty (1993) denominated this phenomenon as a Natural Resource Curse, in which there is a negative correlation between natural resource dependence and economic growth. The South American country, Colombia, is the case study of the thesis in which an analysis is provided on how the growth and development of the extractive sector during the commodity price boom of the period 2004-2013 has affected the overall economy of the country. Additionally, the Colombian constitution states, the exploitation of a non-renewable natural resource will cause, in favour of the National Government, an economic consideration as a royalty (Const., 1991 Art. 360). Thus, for the present thesis, an emphasis is placed on the royalties the government received during the years 2012-2016 through the General Royalty System, (i) how these were used in the aspects of Science, Technology and Innovation, and Regional Development, (ii) to provide an understanding of to what extent these investments have contributed to regional growth, (iii) the correlation these investments have in a strategic economic sector such as the agroindustry.

▼ The research studies the Dutch meat substitution sector from an innovation perspective by applying theories from the field of sustainability transition studies: functions of innovation systems theory and multilevel perspective. This is done in order to gain in-depth knowledge on how the development of the Dutch meat substitute innovations system could be further fostered. The data presented is delivered primarily from expert interviews conducted among 14 actors connected to the field of meat substitution between November 2017 and May 2018. In terms of multilevel perspective, it was revealed that the meat production and consumption regime does not actively try to undermine the raising meat substitution niches, but rather obstruct their development by the deeply embedded rules and structures of the regime that it seems to be unwilling to change. As the landscape pressures of rising environmental concern, rising concern over animal welfare, changing health perceptions and quest for culinary novelty offer only soft pressure to the regime, the meat production, and consumption regime has time to reconfigure itself and adopt innovation from the meat substitute niches in a symbiotic manner. Due to this, the transition pathway that meat substitution is currently taking in the Netherlands is that of reconfiguration. The functioning of the innovation system was determined to be especially good in terms of entrepreneurial activities and knowledge development, and the greatest single bottleneck was detected in the functioning of market formation by the government. Investigation of the expectations of the producers of meat substitutes revealed that the expectations relating to social practices and technologies are especially diverse, due to which the actors develop varying strategies for operation. These varying expectations have likely results in the abundance of niches within the system. Based on the results of the analysis on functional dynamics, eight recommendations were given for action to foster the development of the system.

Entrepreneurship in Tanzania: How local SMEs deal with the socio-cultural and economic context of the Tanzanian business environment.

▼ Entrepreneurship is often seen as one of the main measures to combat poverty in SSA. Yet, efforts still have not led to sustainable economic development. Scholars are arguing that new policies should be developed that build forth on existing values and institutions, instead of working against it. For this reason, this research is developed a qualitative research project that investigates the behaviours and strategies exercised by local entrepreneurs in Tanzania in light of the socio-cultural and economic context. It will therefore answer the research question: How are SMEs operating in the
technology industries dealing with the socio-cultural and economic demands originating from the Tanzanian business environment? Tanzania is transforming from a traditional system that includes traditional socio-cultural and economic values and institutions, towards a modern system including more modern values and institutions. A clear distinction between the two systems has thus been proposed, where practices that are value- and institutional laden are identified and classified over these systems and the levels of the company, the civil society and the state. A total of 16 cases were developed of SMEs operating in the tech-industries by interviewing managing directors and senior managers, as well as making observations, which were consequently cross-analysed. This led to the development of a model that contain the values and institutions across the aforementioned levels and systems. The main findings include that Tanzanian businesses tend to be hierarchical, are socio-culturally connected to informal ties including reciprocities, have a fatalistic attitude to production controls and rules, and have a synchronic time management. Supply chains are compartmentalised with little cooperation, coordination, information sharing and suggestions for innovations. In addition, due to the prevailing copying behaviour of many entrepreneurs, markets are characterised as either being very competitive with little to no product differentiation, or as being severely underdeveloped. The institutional environment remains unfavourable, where regulatory compliance is often time-consuming and expensive due to the bureaucratic systems. In addition, a combination of bureaucracy, weak law enforcement and a lack of transparency generates an unequal playing field, with unfair competition, privileges and corruption. Entrepreneurs often face a dilemma, where not participating in these practices leads to losing business opportunities. Nonetheless, the ICT sector seems to struggles less with these issues and the companies tend to be more successful. The amount of the developments happening in Tanzania are tremendous and four of these stood out from the rest. These include a shift towards egalitarian management, a reduction of the social ties, a decrease in corruption and strong market developments. Drivers for these changes include improvements in the institutional surrounding, urbanisation, developments in infrastructure and…

▼ The goal of this thesis was to ‘develop a tool that offers insights in message framing for behaviour change to improve communication towards customers.’ By using an Design Based Research and Double Diamond approach constant iterations were made between theory and practice to develop a support tool that helps sustainable start-ups to design message frames that stimulate pro-environmental consumer behaviour change. Furture recommendations are to further develop the tool, test the effects, and stimulate more integrated research on the psychology of behaviour change, sustainable behaviour barriers, and framing designs.

▼ The objective of this study was identifying factors that contribute to Dutch electric vehicle (EV) drivers’ acceptance of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) at long-term parking lots. The results of this study aim to help V2G system designers to improve the quality of bi-directional V2G charging services for EV users and to foster V2G acceptance. The following problem statement was formulated: <i>“To what extent do Dutch EV drivers accept V2G at long-term parking?” </i>Based on a literature review and 20 exploratory semi-structured interviews with Dutch EV users, the conceptual model of the Theory of Planned Behaviour was contextualized for V2G acceptance by extending it. The resulting model includes V2G acceptance as a core concept and following influencing main factors or categories: perceived benefits, perceived barriers, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, EV driver’s profile characteristics, trust and intention to accept. Based on the interviews, the main conclusion was that EV users predominantly showed high acceptance of V2G at long-term parking, but that it was dependent on a relatively high number of different underlying factors or sub-factors (85) and that their individual attitudes differed with regards to several topic areas or categories (e.g. perceived benefits and barriers). Most interviewees would have the intention to use V2G at long-term parking on condition that they could receive monetary compensation for possible battery degradation, compensation for experienced discomfort and that the (technical) risks of V2G participation are transparently communicated. Furthermore, the interviewees indicated that the use of V2G systems should be simple, easy-to-use and not significantly different from (using) regular charging devices. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that future research should focus on EV drivers that have practical experience with V2G systems. Furthermore, V2G system designers should adopt a consumer-centric approach by focussing on clear-cut information provision for EV users, create business cases so that EV users show a level of content, choose for V2G bi-directional charger vendors and aggregators that offer a user-friendly interface, so that EV drivers can have the option to exert control.
