We present a comprehensive review of the 48 articles on sustainable practices in ...
    • Statistical learning to estimate energy savings from retrofitting in the Norwegian food retail market 

      Severinsen, Alexander; Myrland, Øystein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-16)
      Buildings worldwide consume about 40% of all produced energy and are major contributors to GHG emissions. Hence, to reach the 2030 European energy efficiency target it is vital to reduce the energy consumption in buildings. An important barrier that hinders renovation projects is uncertainty regarding the expected savings. The main objective of this paper is to present two different statistical ...
    • A culture of cheating: The role of worldviews in preferences for honesty 

      Birkelund, Johan; Cherry, Todd; McEvoy, David M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-11)
      We explore the role of cultural worldviews in preferences for honesty using a coin-flipping task in an online experiment. Two treatments are conducted, one in which cheating has only private benefits and one in which cheating benefits the public. While we find no differences in behavior by worldviews across treatments, we find that observed differences in dishonesty between genders is significantly ...
    • When to stop searching in a highly uncertain world? A theoretical and experimental investigation of “two-way” sequential search tasks 

      Bouhlel, Imen; Chessa, Michela; Festre, Agnes Monique Marie; Guerci, Eric (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-13)
      When to stop exploring is crucial in contexts where learning to manage time and uncertainty is critical for carrying out successful initiatives (e.g., innovation, personnel recruitment, vaccine discovery). We investigate analytically and experimentally the exploration-exploitation trade-offs in such contexts. A “two-way” sequential search task is proposed, where the classical exploration-exploitation ...
    • Consulting on the European Union's 2050 tourism policies: An appreciative inquiry materiality assessment 

      Guix, Mireia; Font aulet, Xavier (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-22)
      Stakeholder consultations serve as powerful legitimising devices upon the balance of participants, the quality of the process and its effective results. We propose a deliberative digital stakeholder consultation methodology based on an appreciative inquiry approach to materiality assessment. We illustrate its application in a four-month consultation for the European Commission (2020 European Tourism ...
    • How environmental gain messages affect cause involvement, attitude and behavioural intentions: the moderating effects of CSR scepticism and biospheric values

      Purpose - This study examines the direct effect of outcome message frames (gain vs loss) on cause involvement and the moderating roles of consumers' corporate social responsibility (CSR) scepticism and biospheric values. Furthermore, the authors analyse (1) the effects of gain-framed messages on consumer attitudes towards an environmental cause (i.e. the use of reusable coffee cups) and towards the ...

    • Trustworthy or misleading communication of voluntary carbon offsets in the aviation industry 

      Guix, Mireia; Ollé, Claudia; Font aulet, Xavier (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-13)
      We assess the communications of 37 airlines on their own websites regarding voluntary carbon offsets (VCO) to determine the extent to which they are either trustworthy or misleading. We propose an innovative coding framework that captures the trustworthy or misleading attributes of the messages as they are applied to: i) the type of claim (product, process, fact or image), and ii) the nature of ...
    • COVID-19 social distancing compliance mechanisms: UK evidence 

      Wu, Jialin (Snow); Font aulet, Xavier; McCamley, Claire (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-23)
      Non-compliance with social distancing (SD) measures clearly has negative effects on both public health and post-pandemic economic recovery. However, little is as yet known about people's views on and factors influencing their behavioral intentions toward SD measures. This study draws on moral disengagement theory and the norm-activation model to investigate mechanisms that promote or hinder compliance ...
    • In search of innovation capability and its sources in local government organizations: a critical interpretative synthesis of the literature 

      Gullmark, Petter; Clausen, Tommy Høyvarde (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-05)
      Empirical research has identified a long list of antecedents that promote innovation in local government organizations. However, less is known about how and why diverse antecedents—as well as their interplay—stimulate local government organizations to innovate and create public value. We address this gap through a systematic and critical interpretive synthesis of the empirical literature on innovation ...
    • Social commerce constructs and consumers' purchase intention from minimalist brands 

      Zarea, Hadi; Su, Zhan; Abdollahi, Hooman (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-17)
      The social media and online communities have established new platforms for e-commerce by engaging both consumers and corporations in producing new product or services. Moreover, individuals' interaction on the cyberspace has evolved e-commerce towards social commerce. On the other hand, business incorporations have found the use of minimalism application in designing, which removes unnecessary ...
    • Perspectives on Rent Generation and Rent Appropriation in Fisheries 

      Bertheussen, Bernt Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-06)
      The article debates the origin of rent in natural-resource based industries (NRBIs) such as fisheries, and how the rent generated can be appro­priated. The Norwegian fish harvest­ing industry is used to illustrate the arguments. It is argued that the industry-specific institu­tional framework of the fish harvesting industry positively affects the compe­titive forces of the industry, and thereby its ...
    • Retail chain affiliation and time trend effects on inventory turnover in Norwegian SMEs 

      Breivik, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-25)
      Inventory is a significant and important asset for retailers and represents what a store has to offer its customers for instant purchase; at the same time, considerable costs are associated with holding inventory. In this study, we use inventory turnover as a measure of inventory performance. We build upon previous research and use firm-specific measures to untangle the link between inventory ...
    • Environmental cues for healthy food marketing: The importance of in-store research into three conversions 

      Larsen, Nils Magne; Sigurdsson, Valdimar; Gunnarsson, Didrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-21)
      Since retailers control the space where consumers tend to make the vast majority of their food purchase decisions, they can take measures to promote healthy living. Increasing relative sales of healthy food can contribute to the ongoing battle against preventable lifestyle diseases. We show how retailers can use impression management and environmental cues in their stores to influence consumers' ...
    • Spectator Interest in Attending Future Danish Men’s National Soccer Team Matches: A Study of Demand 

      Storm, Rasmus K.; Jakobsen, Tor Georg; Schelde, Nikolaj (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Existing research on spectator demand tends to focus primarily on elite club sport. This paper aims to expand on the literature by applying regression models to a large and unique set of survey data collected from Danish men’s national soccer team matches held from 2013 to 2017. The output from our models suggests that the number of matches attended is positively related to future demand, as ...
    • Gjenoppbygginga og omfordelinga av inntekter etter den store sildekollapsen 

      Bertheussen, Bernt Arne (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022)
      Denne historiske analysen viser at den store sildekollapsen som fant sted på 1960-tallet, representerte et grunnleggende sjokk i norske fiskerier. Myndighetenes umiddelbare respons på krisa var å tillate fiske av småsild og enda mer subsidier for å berge fiskernes inntekter. Men dette var helt mislykka. Etter hvert førte rystelsene til at forvaltningspraksisen med fritt fiske ble terminert. ...

We draw on institutional theory to identify gaps in policy and practice, and to ...
