Abstract This study addresses the paradoxical tensions that arise during additive manufacturing (AM) implementation for circular economy goals in healthcare sector. Using lens of paradox theory, this identifies four competing priorities stakeholders may encounter while adopting AM. Focus group discussions among 12 industry experts from supply chain were conducted to verify paradoxes. Semi-structured interviews then with 10 derive solutions manage these an Industry 5.0 perspective achieve full benefits expands theory into AM literature and provides a novel ‘both/and’ (i.e. pluralistic rather than dualistic perspective) look at emerging encountered implementing will help decision-makers realise can be managed over time turn them creative, destructive, forces.

ABSTRACT This article aims to challenge the prevailing economic bias in studies of organised valuation and commensuration by exploring broader plurality values that organisations must manage. The draws on social systems theory tradition German sociologist Niklas Luhmann conceptualise as multifunctional decisions pertain commensurate a associated with diverse set value domains, also known ‘function systems’. utility proposed framework is demonstrated through cases related carbon rationing legal issues during coronavirus crisis. A key finding not limited processes dominated financial metrics, political educational among others, can serve primary drivers processes, effectively guiding organisational decision‐making. paper demonstrates how without relying solely metrics concludes future research non‐/financial will be crucial for developing more nuanced multifaceted strategies concepts, including approaches formation, justification, management moral judgements values.

However, emergence renewed focus on societal grand challenges warrant an alternative approach such as sustainability leadership. Despite critical importance in addressing these global concerns, scholarly research this field inquiry, by large, remained scant fragmented, lacking conceptual coherence theoretical integration. While existing literature provides insights into characteristics, competencies, behaviors, actions, it failed integrate a holistic understanding how aspects are connected affect each other. Accordingly, purpose review paper is provide synthesis appraisal extant Drawing systems theory perspective paradox, we developed integrative multilevel framework, which demonstrates linkages between individual‐level mechanisms (micro), organizational‐level (meso), context (macro).

Abstract Climate crises are being experienced all over the world and appear to be accelerating as “extreme weather” events become “new normal.” In today’s economy, where trade production activities internationally dispersed prone disruptions, global value chain (GVC) framework provides a systematic approach understand combat environmental advance sustainable development options across global, regional, local scales. A vast “implementation deficit” characterizes sustainability efforts date. The GVC incorporates firm policymaker perspectives in multistakeholder that offers multiple building blocks for progressive agenda, including: multi-actor perspective define sustainability; measuring it diverse geographic scales; analysis of both upgrading downgrading; distinguishing motivations, actions, outcomes when assessing performance; viewing resilience terms interplay economic forces; highlighting how context matters analyzing national, industry, geopolitical factors.
