“…Discourses, therefore, are powerful tools through which understandings of sustainability are upheld and changed (Groop, 2021). Individuals are active participants in the construction of sustainability meaning through the process of sensemaking (Ivanova-Gongne et al, 2022a). Colville and Pye (2010) metaphorically described sensemaking as the 'way people make bets on what's going on and what to do next'.…”

“…This study is delimited to the discourses explored within a specific HEI in Finland. Thus, we call for more international comparative case studies to investigate discourses on sustainability understanding that may vary due to cultural specifics and national priorities concerning sustainability challenges in different countries (Friman et al, 2018;Korhonen-Kurki et al, 2020;Ivanova-Gongne et al, 2022a;Dziubaniuk et al, 2022a). The research endeavour takes an interest in executives, teaching and research staff of the HEI, highlighting that the holistic understanding of sustainability could be articulated better if all stakeholders were given a voice to their opinions regarding sustainability and SDGs (Bien and Sassen, 2020) (i.e.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the range of sustainability-related discourses by the stakeholders within a particular Finnish Higher Education Institution (HEI); interaction between the discourses and the context of the HEI; and the extent to which different understandings of sustainability cause challenges for the implementation of the university strategy for sustainability. Specifically, the paper explores how the employees within the HEI make sense of sustainability in their teaching, research and daily life and the extent to which sustainability-related discourses are aligned with the university strategy. Design/methodology/approach This research draws upon collected qualitative and quantitative data. It focuses on individual discourses by executives, teaching and research staff within an HEI regarding their understandings of sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Findings This paper illustrates the key challenges of sustainability and SDG implementation that may emerge in HEIs due to varied understandings. The results indicate a need for efficient HEI strategic vision communication and consideration of the stakeholders’ multiplicity of sustainability values. Originality/value This paper sheds light on the challenges involved in seeking to enhance sustainable development in an academic setting with multiple disciplines and categories of staff guided by academic freedom. The analysis thus advances the understanding of academic sustainability-related discourses and framings as well as mechanisms through which the implementation of sustainability-related efforts can be enhanced in such a context.

“…Further, idiosyncratic norms and values and the highly bureaucratic structures in transition economies such as Russia and India make informal networks important in developing culturally anchored business relationships to help improve performance (Berger, 2014; Puffer et al , 2010). Ivanova-Gongne et al (2022), for example, note the scarcity of institutional and cultural influences on sensemaking and thus call for further research examining this gap. For the purposes of this paper, we adopt Horak’s (2014, p. 80) definition of informal networks “as direct or indirect connections between people which, although based on voluntary participation, are held together by peer pressure.” Formal networks, in contrast, are “explicitly prescribed, exogenously imposed, and rigidly enforced by vertical authority powers in a universalistic depersonalized process (e.g.…”

Purpose This study aims to demonstrate the importance of organizational networks in organizational performance is relatively rich; less understood are processes in organizational networking that entrepreneurs and organizations use in making sense of rapidly changing contexts for organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach This study conducts an exploratory organizational-level narrative analysis into firms’ experiences in two major emerging markets (EMs), namely, Russia and India – to identify organizational networking processes in the midst of institutional upheavals. The study is based on in-depth case studies of firms in EMs sourced from interview data from senior management and consolidated with secondary data. Findings The authors find that initially firms rely on informal networks (including blat/svyazi and jaan-pehchaan/jan-pehchan) and later formal (in the form of bureaucratic followed by proprietary) networks to make sense of the changes and uncertainties in turbulent environments. The authors also demonstrate the cyclical nature of strategic sensemaking in the process of developing organizational networks for performance. Originality The study has a number of theoretical and practical contributions. First, it extends the well-established business networking construct to a more inclusive organizational networking construct. Second, it demonstrates that sensemaking is dependent on interorganizational networking from the outset and throughout the growth of an organization in turbulent markets – from informal to formal bureaucratic and proprietary networks. Finally, this study is unique in documenting the entire process of sensemaking from scanning to performance as well as successfully demonstrating the cyclical nature of sensemaking.
