“…In this study, our analysis focused on the discussion and mode of interaction ( Fichtner, 1984 ; Engeström, 2008 ) during the co-development of client involvement. The implementation of new ideas or concepts through co-development is not a linear process; it comprises tensions and potentials for expansion ( Vetoshkina and Toiviainen, 2022 ). Moreover, deeper understanding of the changes, also in the long term, requires data and analysis of day-to-day work activity, service encounters and processes.…”

“…Activity theoretical research posits that the transitions between modes of interaction can be analyzed through specific turning points ( Kärkkäinen, 1999 ; Toiviainen, 2003 ; Vetoshkina and Toiviainen, 2022 ). A turning point can be operationalized as a moment in discussion that either widens or narrows the conceptualization of the object in the discussion that follows ( Toiviainen, 2003 ).…”

PurposeThe involvement of clients in service encounters and service development has become a central principle for contemporary health and social care organizations. However, in day-to-day work settings, the shift toward client involvement is still in progress. We examined how health and social care professionals, together with clients and managers, co-develop their conceptions of client involvement and search for practical ways in which to implement these in organizational service processes.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical case of this study was a developmental intervention, the client involvement workshop, conducted in a Finnish municipal social and welfare center. The cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) framework was used to analyze the development of client involvement ideas and the modes of interaction during the intervention.FindingsAnalysis of the collective discussion revealed that the conceptions of client involvement developed through two interconnected object-orientations: Enabling client involvement in service encounters and promoting client involvement in the service system. The predominant mode of interaction in the collective discussion was that of “coordination.” The clients' perspective and contributions were central aspects in the turning points from coordination to cooperation; professionals crossed organizational boundaries, and together with clients, constructed a new client involvement-based object. This suggests that client participation plays an important role in the development of services.Originality/valueThe CHAT-based examination of the modes of interaction clarifies the potential of co-developing client-involvement-based services and highlights the importance of clients' participation in co-development.

“…Finally, the other theories identified and used, albeit less recurrently, as a theoretical lenswithin the literature on SBMs were: sustainability leadership theory (Suriyankietkaew et al, 2022); triple bottom line theory (Mattera et al, 2022;Mattera and Gava., 2022); system theory (Dembek et al, 2022); cultural-historical activity theory (Vetoshkina and Toiviainen, 2022); social reproductive theory (Dal Mas et al, 2020); sustainable design theory (Baldassarre et al, 2020a); SBMI theory (Baldassarre et al, 2020b); social learning theory (Karlusch et al, 2018); network theory (Neumeyer and Santos, 2018); value-belief-norm theory (Abdelkafi and Täuscher, 2016); constraint theory (Birkin et al, 2009); dynamic capabilities theory (Oliveira-Dias et al, 2022); cocreation theory (Rosca and Bendul, 2016); pecking order theory (Islam and Chitakunye, 2017); institutional entrepreneurship theory (Gasbarro et al, 2018); grounded theory (Bocken and Geradts, 2020); pattern theory (Ludeke-Freud et al, 2018). Regarding these theories, it is worth noting how some papers also present a combination of two or more of these theories to analyze multiple aspects of the sustainable business model (Brenner et al, 2018;Evans et al, 2017;Galati et al, 2015;Lüdeke-Freund, 2020;Ordonez-Ponce et al, 2021).…”

The literature on SBMs is recent and evolving. It rests on earlier well-established literature, that of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Corporate Sustainability (CS). In these fields of research, there are already numerous works that have identified and mapped the relevant and most used theories. On the other hand, much of the literature on sustainable business models (SBMs) has yet to be catalogued. Therefore, to fill this existing gap, this study has undertaken a systematized review of the literature. This review process is based on Denyer and Tranfield's (2009) logical steps with a twofold objective: first, to map existing theories in the field of sustainable business models, starting with the main theories of CSR and CS and studying their uses, and then to explore additional existing theories and how they too are used for explaining some aspects of SBMs. Second, seek to understand whether the use of different theories is complementary within this still emerging and growing literature devoted to SBMs. This systematic review will represent a survey of all existing theoretical perspectives used to date to explain aspects of a sustainable business model, then leave room for further future research in this area.

PurposeThis study analyses development of research-related innovation activities in a University of Applied Sciences (UAS) in Finland. Focus on production of innovations in relation to academization challenges the traditions of applied research in UAS, which has always relied on collaboration with local stakeholders.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the approach of cultural-historical activity theory, the study conceptualizes development of innovation activities as a movement across multiple intertwined developmental lines. The authors ground these conceptualizations in the data, coming from interviews with key researchers in a multidisciplinary research project on smart bioeconomy at a Finnish UAS.FindingsDevelopment of research-related innovation activities in the UAS happened along six lines: development of researcher's expertise, development of project, development of organization, development of research, development of field and development of funding models and policies. The developmental tensions between the lines were essential for promotion of innovation activities.Originality/valueThe study reveals the complex multilayered nature of research-related innovation activities in the specific context of UAS, where it creates challenges and opportunities for developing the traditions of applied research. The results encourage UAS to critically evaluate their changing role as research institutions in regional, national and international innovation systems.
