Shaping Sustainable Business through Living Labs
In the last decade, the number of living labs focusing on environmental sustainability has risen in order to cope with the need for environmentally sustainable innovation. Although these multi-actor approaches allow for innovation, this alone does not suffice a society’s transition to becoming environmentally sustainable. Organizations should focus on innovation internally as well, but in practice, this lacks often because environmentally sustainable values are not integrated into the organizational policy. Living labs could influence the organization’s policy regarding environmental sustainability. Qualitative findings based on eight interviews, observations, and additional relevant documents from a living lab gave insights into this process. Overall, this study found that organizations take part in living labs for several reasons. First, firms wish to stabilize their business model in the long-term and lower risk on future claims. Second, the living lab’s aim for collaboration in order to implement environmentally sustainable approaches in the supply chain attracts firms. Finally, firms expect to gain business and market demand in the living labs. Additionally, the embeddedness and proximity of firms in the living lab makes participating in the living lab more attractive when firms consider joining a living lab based on the previously mentioned reasons. Once participating in the living lab, team dynamics, and knowledge sharing practices change firm representatives’ perceptions regarding their attitudes towards environmental sustainability and the feasibility to implement environmentally sustainable practices. This change in perception is translated to the firm of the participant, where firms’ policies are adjusted. Based on this research, implications for organizations, governmental policymakers, and living lab facilitators are provided as well as suggestions for future research.

Social innovation and spirituality are often associated with each other. This association is one the main reasons for this study, especially because it has not been studied very much. Therefore the goal of this study is to explore the different levels and aspects of spirituality in the field of social innovation to set them into relation with each other. In doing so this study wants to make a contribution to the area of spirituality in organizations as a sub-discipline of spirituality research and to management science.

‘Businessspiritualiteit’ staat steeds meer in de belangstelling. Maar wat bedoelen we daar eigenlijk mee? En wat willen of kunnen we met spiritualiteit in organisaties in bereiken? Worden we er bijvoorbeeld creatiever van? Of krijgen we er meer gevoel voor ethische zaken door – of misschien zelfs meer morele ruggengraat? Het zijn ingewikkelde onderwerpen en er wordt driftig over gedebatteerd. In dit artikel proberen de auteurs deze vragen te beantwoorden.

This article presents a model for conducting contextual therapy with the aim of contributing to the further development of contextual therapy. Its founder, Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, introduced the core of this approach, relational ethics, as a new paradigm for family therapy, which has been received well. The authors presume that the training of (upcoming) contextual therapists and conducting contextual therapy itself can benefit from more concrete guidelines and a phased structure. It can also enhance the further development, research and accountability of this approach. Therefore, using a design-oriented method, the authors developed a model that helps to shape a contextual therapy process and the applicable contextual interventions. It is based on strengthening connectedness in close relationships, using relational ethics as its compass. The framework of the model consists of three phases: exploring connectedness in close relationships, modifying connectedness in close relationships and reinforcing connectedness in close relationships, whereby the goals of each of these phases are defined as process elements and expanded into guidelines for nineteen interventions. The ingredients for these interventions are derived from two recent studies on the practice of Nagy and on the practice of current contextual therapists. The model is explained and substantiated based on contextual theory and therapy. Final remarks are presented in the conclusion.

De huidige samenleving kenmerkt zich door steeds meer onderlinge afhankelijkheden en dwarsverbanden. En dat geldt ook voor veel vraagstukken in organisaties. Onze studenten krijgen te maken met problemen in organisaties die interdisciplinair, met elkaar verbonden, complex en dynamisch zijn. In een wereld van toenemende afhankelijkheid is systeemdenken daarom veel meer dan "een aardig idee".

Background: The target group of this study concerns young people with a mild intellectual disability. The central research question is: What evidence can be found in the literature for common and specific factors for a play therapy intervention for young people with a mild intellectual disability struggling with aggression regulation. Method: The criteria used for selecting articles are presented according to the PRISMA, and the PRISMA guidelines for writing a review have been applied. Results: Common factors have been found in the literature that relate to the relationship between therapist and client and the therapeutic skills of the play therapist. Clues have also been found for specific factors of play therapy, such as the use of play as a language and a connection with the child's inner world. In addition, certain factors have been found that are specific to the target group of this article. The non-verbal element of play therapy is an active part of this.

In dit artikel bespreken we de waarde van de methode van Toegepaste Conversatieanalyse voor het sociaal werk aan de hand van het project Professioneel Ouderschap in Gezinshuizen en het daaruit voortgekomen promotieonderzoek ‘Hechting in interactie’. Hoewel Toegepaste Conversatieanalyse meerdere functies heeft, beperken we ons in dit artikel tot de functies: ontdekken, verhelderen en respecificeren. We laten zien dat Toegepaste Conversatieanalyse bij uitstek geschikt is voor het beantwoorden van een hoe-vraag.
