abstract |
Deep structural and sustained change is necessary to tackle contemporary environmental
challenges. How such change emerges and can be governed has been explored through
the notion of sustainable innovation journeys. To date research had conceptualised
such journeys as transitions to more sustainable socio-technical systems, e.g. mobility,
shelter, food and farming. However, there is a paucity of how innovation proceeds
in firms as part of sustainable innovation journeys. This paper begins to address
this gap in knowledge. A longitudinal case study was completed of a medium-sized food-processing
firm in the UK. Qualitative data were collected using ethnographic methods such as
participant observation. Drawing on practice theory, a conceptual framework was developed
which enabled us to explore and make sense of the firm's sustainable innovation journey
conceptualised as practices. Findings show that we can usefully treat a firm as a
flow of practices that either resist or otherwise accommodate new practices deemed
more sustainable. |
