There urgent need for more integral understanding links internal and external (collective systems) support transformation. related knowledge scarce fragmented across disciplines. study addresses this gap. Through systematic literature review, we analyse how linkages between are portrayed understood in current research. We assess scope, perspectives used understand why, how, relates sustainability.
