“…Hill et al (2021) articulate that within Sustainabilty Science, "co-production across scientific and Indigenous knowledge systems has become a cornerstone of research to enhance knowledge, practice, and ethics and to foster sustainability transformation". Co-production processes offer both opportunities and risks for Indigenous people (Hill et al 2021;Maclean et al 2021b), given the profound differences in the world views of their non-indigenous partners and the complex and contested histories of colonisation on Indigenous territories (e.g., Maclean 2009;Zurba et al 2019). Indeed, the benefits that may result from the efforts for knowledge co-production are likely to be lost if they are enacted without consideration of the power imbalance and ongoing impacts of colonization to Indigenous peoples and collaborators (Zurba et al, 2021).…”

“…According to Maclean et al (2022), the cross-boundary innovation process faces various risks. This study then aims to identify these risks, their roots, and how manufacturing enterprises can deal with such risks.…”

This study attempts to identify and evaluate the key elements associated with triggering and facilitating the cross‐boundary innovation of manufacturing enterprises. For this purpose, we used discourse analysis to construct a research framework of cross‐boundary innovation risks based on the in‐depth interview and semi‐structured questionnaire responses of the senior executives of 15 manufacturing enterprises in the central provinces of China. Results identify five main categories of cross‐boundary innovation risks, namely, cross‐boundary characteristics, cross‐boundary innovation process, subject intention, subject capability, and subject relationships. These categories are further refined into subcategories to theorize their interconnections, which guide the researchers in formulating strategies for reducing risks from cross‐boundary innovation. This study also proposes some strategies for controlling cross‐boundary innovation risks based on the case study findings and proposes an interesting viewpoint that adds to its theoretical and managerial implications. Specifically, this study identifies risk identification as the foundation of risk control and management for cross‐boundary innovation. The outcomes of this research not only introduce opportunities for future researchers to examine our propositions based on grounded theory but may also help practitioners in identifying the critical elements of cross‐boundary innovation.

“…'Cultural burning', defined as 'burning practices developed by Aboriginal people to enhance the health of the land and its people' (Firesticks Alliance Indigenous Corporation 2019), is used to describe the application of fire, while 'cultural fire management' encompasses broader cultural practices, values, heritage and land management activities (Office of Environment and Heritage 2016;McKemey et al 2020b). An emerging field of academic research aims to monitor and evaluate the outcomes of Indigenous cultural burning activities (Maclean et al 2018). Concurrently, Indigenous cultural fire managers are seeking support to produce ethical research that translates and communicates the holistic benefits of cultural fire management (Firesticks Alliance 2020).…”

“…The majority of studies to date have taken a qualitative approach. For example, several papers have claimed that cultural burning protects threatened species and reduces wildfire risk (Maclean et al 2018;Robertson 2019), but there is limited empirical evidence to support these claims in south-east Australia (McKemey 2020). Research into cultural fire management provides an opportunity to explore cross-cultural (or two-way) techniques, which are described as 'using combinations of Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge and methods and with the involvement of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people towards a common goal' (Ens 2012; for examples, see Hill 2003;Ens et al 2012;Hoffmann et al 2012;Walsh et al 2013).…”

Indigenous self-determination, land rights and caring for Country programs are enabling Indigenous peoples across the world to re-establish customary roles in biodiversity conservation and cultural fire management. In Australia, Indigenous-controlled lands form the majority of the protected area estate, harbour almost 60% of listed threatened species and maintain high levels of biodiversity. This study used cross-cultural (Indigenous and Western academic) methods to monitor the impact of Indigenous cultural burning v. wildfire on the threatened plant, Backwater grevillea (Grevillea scortechinii subsp. sarmentosa). Cultural burning resulted in lower mature grevillea mortality and less impact on reproductive output than wildfire. Both fires stimulated a mass germination but the cultural burn preserved a multi-aged population while the wildfire killed 99.6% of mature shrubs. Comparison of fuel load changes resulting from cultural burning, hazard reduction burning and wildfire indicated that fuel loads were reduced by all fire treatments, although the cultural burn was less severe than other fires. Our case study of the Backwater grevillea and its Banbai custodians provides an example where Indigenous rangers have adopted a plant into their cultural management framework. They are conserving this threatened species using culturally driven, holistic management that is locally focused and supported by cross-cultural knowledge.
