“…The approach moves away from naïve assumptions that more information, training, restrictions or incentives automatically create desired behaviour change (Kollmuss & Agyeman, 2002; Webb & Sheeran, 2006), and the broad field of behavioural sciences is in principle open to considering the role of context such as poverty or social marginalisation in shaping the decisions that people could possibly make (Michie et al, 2011; Sheehy‐Skeffington & Rea, 2017). However, the actual practice of behavioural design continues to foreground individualised models of action that struggle with accommodating the historical, political and contextual drivers of seemingly problematic health behaviour (Crosman et al, 2022; Ewert, 2019; Pendleton et al, 2019).…”

Aligning global health policy and research with sustainable development: A strategic market approach

Attaining Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3: Health and Well‐Being) faces a dual challenge of diminishing returns of established intervention designs, and a threat to future gains from complex inter‐connected global health challenges like antimicrobial resistance and global biodiversity loss. The growing movement of context‐sensitive approaches could help realise yet untapped potential for intervention designs, but contemporary global health policy and research still remain dominated by a model of individual market style choices. This paper therefore aims to support the development of global health planning processes that are more grounded and integrative across the SDGs. Reiterating calls for disruptive policy change is unlikely to impact the modus operandi of global health policy and research. This paper therefore builds on a logic that already finds widespread and intuitive application in their underlying planning processes: ‘the market’. However, it challenges the dominant supply‐and‐demand approach to healthcare markets and redefines them from a strategic marketing perspective. Translated to the interface of populations and health systems, the strategic market is a site for solving problems that are defined by people with multidimensional health needs. This framework offers four guiding questions to define the strategic market and six premises as a simple intellectual starting point and checklist for more grounded and inter‐sectorial action across the SDGs. The analysis of data from one of the largest behavioural survey data sets, covering 6683 villagers across China, India, Lao PDR and Thailand, demonstrates the relevance of the premises empirically.

Decisions and Structures: A Dialogue between Herbert Simon and Critical Realists

This paper compares critical realist (CR) approaches and their applications to management with Herbert Simon's account of individual and organizational cognition to provide an integrated framework for analysing the interaction between human beings and social structures. We establish several important conceptual and methodological affinities between both approaches, such as understanding decision and bounded rationality or emergentist accounts of organizations. Such affinities provide a coherent explanation of psychological mechanisms accounting for agency-structure interplay. With such an explanation, Simon's cognitivism leads to a deeper understanding of Margaret Archer's morphogenetic cycles and reflexivity, and affords fresh insight into David Elder-Vass's mechanisms of organizational role-playing. Simon's type of cognitivism is a social cognitivism as well, which addresses and incorporates other social sciences. It allows for a Simon-CR analytical synthesis, which contributes to the individualism/structuralism debate in social and management research. We propose new arguments for separating structures from agency in organization studies. We elaborate key analytical implications of our synthesis, characterizing, in particular, deviant organizational culture and work division in both morphogenetic and Simonian terms.'How boring it would be if we were all simply small replicas of our society (or of our class, our gender, our ethnic group, or what not). Fortunately, we are influenced by but not copies of the environment' (Simon, 1994, p. 151).
