  Operating multiple business models can be essential for firm survival, yet can also pose fundamental challenges for managers and organizations. Accordingly, business model diversification has emerged as an important phenomenon, attracting increasing attention from strategy and innovation scholars as well as practitioners. Despite this growing interest, research efforts remain dispersed, conceptually ambiguous, and theoretically underdeveloped, thereby impeding cumulative advancement. To address these gaps, we provide the first comprehensive systematic literature review of the business model diversification literature. Our review of 81 articles seeks to advance understanding of the concept and establish a foundation for future research and practice. We find that business model diversification encompasses four distinct processes, each associated with a unique set of activities, challenges, and objectives. We also identify divergent research streams, with one stream framing business model diversification as a strategy process and another as an innovation process. In addition, we highlight emerging trends related to sustainable and circular business models, digital transformation, and demand-side research. We further emphasize the central role of business model interrelatedness. This study contributes to current understanding by clarifying the conceptual landscape, offering a more nuanced interpretation of business model diversification, and situating it within the strategy and innovation literatures. Finally, we propose a novel framework for business model interrelatedness and outline important avenues for future research.

  Små og mellomstore bedrifter (SMB-er) møter økende forventninger om bærekraftig praksis, selv om bærekraftsrapportering foreløpig er frivillig for dem. Et nytt og omfattende regelverk rettet mot større selskaper vil trolig føre til økt etterspørsel etter bærekraftsinformasjon også fra SMB-er. Samtidig finnes det lite forskning på sammenhengen mellom bærekraftsrapportering og -praksis i SMB-er. Denne studien undersøker derfor to spørsmål: (1) Hva kjennetegner sammenhengen mellom bærekraftsrapportering og -praksis hos SMB-er? (2) Hvilke faktorer motiverer SMB-er til å iverksette og rapportere på bærekraftstiltak? Basert på kvalitative intervjuer med informanter fra åtte norske produksjonsbedrifter utvikles en modell som viser en gjensidig forsterkende sammenheng mellom rapportering og praksis, påvirket av økonomiske, menneskelige og regulatoriske faktorer. Studien har implikasjoner både for bedriftsledere og politikere, og peker på behovet for videre forskning med bredere utvalg for å teste modellens gyldighet. English abstract From Report to Action? A Study of Sustainability Reporting and Practices in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face increasing stakeholder expectations to operate sustainably, even though sustainability reporting remains voluntary for these businesses. However, a new and comprehensive regulatory framework targeting larger companies is expected to increase the demand for sustainability information from SMEs as well. At the same time, there is limited research on the relationship between sustainability reporting and sustainability practice in SMEs. This study therefore addresses two research questions: (1) What characterizes the relationship between sustainability reporting and practice in SMEs? (2) What factors motivate SMEs to implement and report on sustainability initiatives? Based on qualitative interviews with informants from eight Norwegian manufacturing companies, the study develops a theoretical model showing a mutually reinforcing relationship between reporting and practice, shaped by underlying economic, human, and regulatory factors. The study has implications for business leaders and policymakers and highlights the need for future research using broader samples to test the framework’s validity.

  Corporate Sustainability Managers (CSMs) have emerged as pivotal change agents in advancing organizational sustainability. In particular, they play a critical role in the implementation of Proactive Environmental Strategies (PES). However, despite their growing importance, little is known about how CSMs interpret and enact their roles in driving PES within organizations. To address this gap, this study draws upon and integrates insights from the Natural-Resource-Based-View (NRBV), PES, Upper Echelons Theory (UET), and the Attention-Based View (ABV) to explore how CSMs’ individual characteristics and role perceptions shape organizational PES implementation. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with CSMs from diverse industries. The findings were content analyzed to reveal four overarching dimensions describing who CSMs are and how they implement PES: (a) CSM characteristics; (b) Organizational structure; (c) PES formulation and implementation; and (d) Barriers and enablers shaping their work. This study contributes to the sustainability and business ethics literature both theoretically and practically. Theoretically, it proposes a conceptual framework clarifying how structural and motivational dynamics shape CSMs’ agency and effectiveness. The conceptual framework further leverages NRBV and PES to outline organizational expectations, while UET and ABV illustrate individual and top management dynamics influencing CSM capabilities. Practically, this study highlights three defining dynamics—departmental placement, recruitment background, and professional purpose—that shape CSMs’ agency. Additionally, six actionable propositions are developed to support CSMs in translating sustainability ambitions into practice. These recommendations include building professional networks, promoting cross-functional collaboration, and developing clear communication strategies. Simultaneously, organizations are urged to embed PES in corporate strategies, grant CSMs access to senior leadership, and prioritize comprehensive sustainability training. This study underscores the importance of an “all-hands-on-deck” approach to addressing environmental challenges.

  The study explores the role that change agency and regional preconditions play in a region’s path development. To address empirically this research question, the study uses the cases of two destinations in Norway during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses quantitative and qualitative data to investigate the industry’s capacity for path development in the face of significant external shocks. The findings reveal marked differences regarding industry adaptation and resilience between the two regions. While one destination struggled with coordination, the other, anchored by the popularity of a major zoo and theme park, demonstrated a more cohesive response. This contrast highlights the pivotal role of regional preconditions and change agency in shaping a destination’s ability to navigate crises. Key conclusions suggest that crises can serve as catalysts for industry development; however, the extent of such transformation is constrained by the regional preconditions, place leadership, and collaboration that a destination can mobilize.

  To address the multiple grand challenges facing humanity, there is an urgent need for businesses to become more sustainable. This study explores the implementation of sustainability initiatives through an interview-based single case study of an organization in the food and beverage industry. Specifically, this study adopts a Natural-Resource-Based View of the firm to examine the role of organizational culture and structure in the implementation process. It argues that to successfully implement sustainability initiatives, a flexible structure and a green organizational culture grounded in a shared sustainability vision are essential. The findings reveal that, despite the in-practice flat organizational structure of the case organization, there was limited knowledge of the organization's sustainability vision among organizational members across all organizational levels. This could be attributed to a lack of internal communication within the organization, which constitutes a barrier to the successful dissemination of green values throughout the organization's family-like, inclusive, and diverse work environment. This study proposes a three-part approach for practitioners attempting to implement sustainability initiatives: (1) enhance organizational awareness and communication of the sustainability vision; (2) cultivate a green organizational culture; and (3) advocate for a collaborative, inclusive and decentralized approach to fostering sustainability. This approach is vital not only for sustaining the organization's competitive advantage but also for achieving improved environmental and social outcomes.

  Unsustainable consumption and production in the textile industry pose significant environmental challenges. The outdoor industry, which is moving towards more sustainable practices, provides an opportunity to understand how firms can shift to a circular economy. This study investigates how Scandinavian outdoor industry actors contribute to sustainable business practices for the industry and consumers. The methodology involved a qualitative document analysis of websites and publicly available reports from 20 firms. The data was analyzed to assess the businesses’ motivations towards sustainability, potential for value retention, implementation of eco-innovations, and alignment with the targets of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12. Findings show only 10% of firms met SDG 12 material management targets. Although 90% adopted recycling and 95% integrated product innovation, only 10% innovated their business model. The relationship between value retention, eco-innovation, and SDG 12 is intricate and varies based on individual firm objectives, strategies, and characteristics. While product improvements are prevalent, broader sustainability requires more robust networks and clear objectives. Firms need to ensure their sustainability claims match their actions. Mature firms with substantial revenues are closer to achieving a circular model, but all companies have the potential to enhance their sustainability practices.

  This study explores the business ethics education literature published between 1982 and 2021. A systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of 862 scholarly articles spanning 40 years of research on business ethics education revealed a thematic shift in the literature. Whereas older articles were predominantly concerned with ethics, relatively newer articles mainly focus on addressing the broader concept of sustainability. A content analysis of the 25 most locally cited articles between 1987 and 2012 identified two main research streams: (a) integration of business ethics into business school curricula and (b) the pedagogical approaches and tools used to teach business ethics. An additional content analysis of the 15 most locally cited articles published between 2016 and 2021 revealed that discussions related to integration and pedagogical approaches and tools were still ongoing in the literature, albeit with a focus on sustainability-related concepts such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). Building upon our findings and existing literature, we develop a framework that we refer to as Transforming Ethics Education in Business Schools (TEEBS), which we argue may help business schools reclaim the ‘ethics’ in business ethics education.

  This paper discusses the role of formative feedback in teaching academic writing for a large class of first-year business students. The paper contributes to our knowledge on how to design an effective formative feedback process for a class in excess of 300 students. Based on survey data from 2018 the paper addresses how the students respond to being taught academic writing in two different feedback modalities: face-to-face interaction and electronic annotations. Our findings indicate that there are no significant differences between the two modalities and that the students are relatively satisfied with the feedback they received. The majority of the students report that feedback has helped them accomplish their learning goals, they pay attention to feedback, and feedback motivates them in their studies. Even with these positive responses from the students, we question whether our approach is sustainable in the long run. Unless smarter and more efficient ways of providing personalised feedback are developed for large student groups, the transition to the new paradigm for feedback, where the emphasis is placed on dialogic interaction, will not be practicable.

  While many firms manage multiple business models concurrently, little is known about how they successfully transition to a portfolio of business models and even less about how this process unfolds in the context of sustainability. In this qualitative in-depth case study, we focus on the transition from a single business model to a portfolio that includes novel sustainable business models and study how an organization manages contradicting demands during this process. Our findings suggest that the transition is a dynamic and iterative transformation process whereby managers navigate contradictory demands by using specific balancing mechanisms, which we identified as bridging and segmenting. We propose a novel model explaining the transition process and offer an understanding of how transi-tions towards sustainable business models can be navigated and potentially accelerated.

  This paper investigates the emergence and early institutionalization of competition in higher education (HE), specifically in business schools. First, building on key contributions from economics, management studies, sociology, and HE research, we develop propositions on competition in HE and formulate our theoretical framework. Second, we apply this framework to explore competition in Finnish business schools. We argue that business schools constitute an interesting field for studying competition in HE because they are the frontrunners and champions of competition-based views in HE. Our main contribution is a novel explanation of the preconditions, emergence, and early processes of institutionalization that drive HE institutions to compete and collectively produce the observed competitive transformation.

  This paper contributes to the understanding of how the environment, ethics, values, and historical contingencies shape public policy. It explains the accomplishment of petroleum resource management in the small open economy of Norway. The study is conducted by mapping policy decisions and the arguments behind them regarding environmental and ethical issues. This is done by studying available governmental and parliamentary papers along with statements from politicians and central governmental officials. The paper also seeks to illuminate some of the decisions by quantitative measures. The paper firstly describes a model of Ricardian resource rent. Secondly, it investigates the set of values that were in place before the petroleum production started in the 1970s, as described in public documents. An important argument was to build a “qualitatively better society” for the benefit of the people. Thirdly, it traces the historical roots of these values by examining historical sources. The main findings are that success lies in understanding the ethics behind the environmental resource rent harvesting of this non-renewable natural resource. The paper concludes that the focus on the natural environment and resource rent management can be attributed to popular values built on historical traditions. According to them, the state and the trust between the state and its citizens played key roles in shaping the policy. The careful policy can be illustrated by the fact that Norway has managed to build one of the largest sovereign funds in the world worth USD 1,200 billion for use by future generations. Only 3% of its value, significantly less than its historical net profit, should be used annually.

  Store endringer preger universitets- og høyskolesektoren i hele den vestlige verden. Også de norske institusjonene har opplevd betydelige reformer, blant annet knyttet til fusjoner og andre strukturendringer, profesjonalisering av ledelse og administrasjon, samt økt bruk av målstyring. Mange av endringene skaper bekymringer og motstand fra mange av sektorens ansatte, som brenner for sin forskning, for sine studenter, for sine kolleger og sin disiplin, for sitt arbeid og sine ideer, og for troen på at arbeidet bidrar positivt til kunnskap som kommer hele samfunnet til gode. Det er ikke en endringsfrykt som sådan, men en bekymring for at den nye virkeligheten vil kunne redusere sektorens egenart og rolle som samfunnsinstitusjon. I denne boka analyseres slike endringer ved bruk av ulike perspektiver, teorier og erfaringer. Forfatterne har et ønske om å utvikle kritiske innspill og legge grunnlaget for en mer velinformert og perspektivrik diskusjon av endringer i sektoren og dens samfunnsrolle. Et underliggende spørsmål dreier seg om de siste tiders reformer synes å kunne ødelegge universiteters og høyskolers mulighet til å bidra med solid og samfunnsrelevant utdanning, forskning, formidling og innovasjon. Boka vil være av interesse både for forskere, studenter, politikere og andre med interesse for sektorens utvikling. Håpet er at antologiens kapitler kan bidra til en kritisk refleksjon om endringer som vi også ser i samfunnet mer generelt.

  On the basis of a novel dataset, the article investigates the anatomy of financial crises in Norway from 1830 to 2010. First, nine significant crises are identified. Second, the article examines spillover effects on the real economy. We find a clear but not symmetric relationship. Third, the article investigates key patterns in credit and money volumes. Major financial crises typically occurred after substantial money and credit expansion, causing financial instability.

  This paper contributes to the understanding of how the environment, ethics, values, and historical contingencies shape public policy. Specifically, it explains the accomplishment of petroleum resource management in Norway. The main argument is that the success of this policy is an understanding of the ethics behind the environmental harvesting of the resource rent of this non-renewable natural resource. The paper firstly describes a model of Ricardian resource rent. Secondly, it investigates the set of values that were in place before the petroleum production started in the 1970s, as described in the influential white paper, “The role of petroleum activities in the Norwegian Society,” published in 1974. In the white paper, the government discussed the future opportunities, challenges, and responsibilities associated with the oil industry and how this would transform society. An important part of the white paper revealed the main ethical vision of the government was to build a “qualitatively better society” for the benefit of the people. Thirdly, the paper traces the historical roots of these values. Finally, the paper concludes that the focus on the natural environment and resource rent management can be attributed to popular values built on historical traditions. According to these, the state and the trust between the state and its citizens played key roles for the formation of the policy.
