“…One element that strongly connects open innovation with the transdisciplinary approach is the inherent emphasis on real‐life problems as the systematic starting point for collaboration and learning. Bringing together corporations, researchers, lead‐customers and activists around a jointly perceived sustainability challenge, open innovation has been identified as an important approach for sustainability‐oriented transformation (Arnold, ; Fichter, ; Hansen et al ., , ).…”

Sustainability challenges are complex. So are the challenges that business firms encounter in their corresponding quest for corporate sustainability. Given this complexity, there is a need for new approaches to corporate sustainability management research. We discuss transdisciplinarity as such a novel approach in three steps. After showing that specialization is the primary conventional response to increasing complexity, we first briefly compare how inter‐, multi‐ and transdisciplinarity reintegrate decentralized, specialized knowledge. The second step describes how the emerging sustainability science has recently advanced the transdisciplinary methodology. Based on the two dimensions of interdisciplinarity and academia–practice collaboration, we third generate a framework for mapping existing research approaches in terms of their transdisciplinary qualities. We use this framework to identify room for novel methodologies in sustainability management research. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.

“…However, users have to make decisions based on a trade-off between the convenience given by the reimbursement fee and some of the inconveniences of dynamic ridesharing. The inconveniences might be related to losing privacy (Xu et al, 2015), having to coordinate with other users regarding the trip time and route (K. Arning, M. Ziefle, and H. Muehlhans, 2013) or having to combine the car ride with other means of transportation (Hansen et al 2010…”

A growing number of ridesharing apps is available to help users arrange real-time shared rides. Ridesharing service providers implement platforms that mediate between the requirements of drivers and riders to tackle the challenges of the chicken and egg problem: an intermediary should attract passengers by means of creating a large installed base of drivers who will be willing to register only if they expect that many passengers will adopt the service. Therefore, dynamic ridesharing services need to reach an initial critical mass of users in order to provide desirable level of matching between drivers and passengers. To help in this task, the objective of this work is to investigate some of the levers that could boost the diffusion of a new ridesharing service. This is done by the means of a System Dynamics (SD) model. The model integrates existing diffusion models retrieved from the literature with the main outcomes of a project to which the authors contributed. Three main results are found out of simulation runs and case-scenario analyses. First, the service is expected to work effectively in densely populated urban areas, due to higher contact rates between users that turn in increased matching opportunities. Second, 2 since dynamic ridesharing has yet to be established as a valid alternative for private urban mobility, a high level of service is required. The combined effect of lower population density with high level of desired matching by users is substantially detrimental for the adoption of the service. Third, should the service provider decide to focus on just one type of user, it would have a negative long-term effect on the matching, leading to a higher discard rate of the service.

“…For example, in the ideation phase "idea contests" help to open the innovation process and involve more stakeholders which may contribute to the development of sustainability-oriented products (Hansen et al 2011). In addition, broader crowd-sourcing approaches applied in later phases of the innovation process can contribute to this endeavor (Hansen et al 2010). Lead user workshops, also covering environmental experts, help to successfully design sustainabilityoriented products and services (Arnold et al 2007;Hoffmann, 2007).…”
