This capacity and knowledge are dispersed among diverse stakeholder organizations. Thus, organizations in the private, public and civil society sectors are experiencing pressure to address these complex challenges through collaborative action in the form of multi-stakeholder partnerships. One major challenge to securing and maintaining partner engagement in these voluntary collaborative initiatives is defining the value proposition for prospective and existing partner organizations. Understanding the relationship between different forms of partner involvement and the subsequent resources that partners stand to gain is necessary to articulate the value proposition of the partnership to partners. This study conducts a survey of partner organizations from 15 different sustainability-focused multi-stakeholder partnerships in Canada. We compare three partner strategies for implementation and value capture and discover that each strategy is associated with different partner-level resource outcomes. Our findings indicate that product stewardship strategies are associated with financial and organizational capital, marketing and promotion with human capital, and internal implementation structures with shared capital. This study has implications for multi-stakeholder partnership researchers and practitioners because it suggests the possibility that certain partner-level outcomes could rely on the partner, as well as partnership implementation strategies. {\textcopyright} 2019 by the author.}, keywords = {Agenda 21, and Development., and the article processing charge (APC) was funded by the Dhillon School of Business and the School of Environment, Canada, civil society, community resource management, Decision Making, Enterprise, funding_text~1=Funding: This research was funded by the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), human capital, knowledge, partnership approach, public-private partnership, stakeholder, strategic approach, sustainable development}, issn = {20711050}, doi = {10.3390/su11030557}, url = {https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/11/3/557 }, author = {MacDonald, A. and Clarke, A. and Huang, L. and Seitanidi, M.M.} } @article {Clarke2018303, title = {Cross-Sector Partnerships for Systemic Change: Systematized Literature Review and Agenda for Further Research}, journal = {Journal of Business Ethics}, volume = {150}, number = {2}, year = {2018}, pages = {303-313}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, abstract = {The literature on cross-sector partnerships has increasingly focused attention on broader systemic or system-level change.

As social and ecological problems escalate, involving stakeholder groups in helping solve these issues becomes critical for reaching solutions. The UN Sustainable Development Goal $\#$17 recognizes the importance of partnerships and collaborative governance. However, organizing large multi-stakeholder groups (or partnerships) requires sophisticated implementation structures for ensuring collaborative action. Understanding the relationship between implementation structures and the outcomes is central to designing successful partnerships for sustainability. In the context of sustainable community plan implementation, the larger research project of which the results presented in this book chapter are one part of, examines how stakeholders configure to achieve results. To date, we have the data from a survey completed by 111 local governments around the world. The survey was offered in English, French, Spanish, and Korean. Seventeen integrated environmental, social, and economic topics are considered, including climate change, waste, ecological diversity, and local economy. Despite the prevalence of sustainable community plan implementation in local authorities around the world, there is scant empirical data on the topics covered in these plans internationally, the partners involved in implementation, and the costs and savings to the local governments that implement in partnership with their communities. The results presented in this book chapter show that sustainable community plans continue to be created and implemented in a diversity of communities around the world, are integrated in the sustainability topics that they cover, involve local organizations as partners in implementation, act as motivators of resource investment by the local government in community sustainability, and result in savings for the local government.

Yet, how these partnerships coordinate their collaborative activities to achieve mutual and organization-specific goals is not well understood. This study takes an organization design perspective of collaborative decision-making processes to explore how they impact the effectiveness of multi-stakeholder partnerships. We compare the decision-making processes of 94 sustainability-focused multi-stakeholder partnerships and find that collaborative decision-making has an indirect and positive impact on partnership capacity through systems that keep partners informed, coordinate partner interactions, and facilitate ongoing learning. The implications of this study for multi-stakeholder partnership research and practice are that partnership capacity is contingent on the design of decision-making processes, as well as internal mechanisms that coordinate and monitor collaborative activities. {\textcopyright} 2018 Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature}, issn = {01674544}, doi = {10.1007/s10551-018-3885-3}, url = {https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s10551-018-3885-3?author_access_token=Mq_tt3cvfJ6n5Sp1_ycm0fe4RwlQNchNByi7wbcMAY6QT35qglC3emnq843HCOlcnAMJEvxSOJMdZgEo6LTCebWy_ZVe6Ffroa7I7ENukNjFRhNJGNSQvdaRd9PElkqsubYIBf2mFDpdAJXVEWZAxg\%3D\%3D }, author = {MacDonald, A. and Clarke, A. and Huang, L.} } @article {Dougherty2018358, title = {Wired for Innovation: Valuing the Unique Innovation Abilities of Emerging Adults}, journal = {Emerging Adulthood}, volume = {6}, number = {5}, year = {2018}, note = {Pre-Publication Version}, pages = {358-365}, publisher = {SAGE Publications Inc.}, abstract = {This conceptual article argues that young people{\textquoteright}s brains are {\textquotedblleft}wired for innovation{\textquotedblright} and that society should better engage this age-group to access its innovation potential.

This chapter details the role of and design of cross-sector social partnerships (CSSPs) at the local level. It highlights the emergence and diffusion of CSSPs for solving community-wide social problems, by showcasing the role of partnerships for local sustainability and the uptake of collaborative community sustainability strategies (such as Local Agenda 21s). It contrasts a partnership (collaborative) approach with a participation (consultation) approach to formulating and implementing a strategic plan. In addition, the chapter uses four case studies about collaborative community sustainability strategies to consider the advantages and disadvantages of different ways to design a CSSP. These four cases all focus on the implementation of a collaborative strategic plan, and consider structural features such as the decision- making entity, the partner engagement mechanisms, the communication systems, the monitoring systems, and the involvement of partners in action-taking. By considering the comments of 63 interviewees - representing local authorities, large corporations, business associations, non-governmental organizations, universities, and small- \& medium-sized enterprises {\textendash} conclusions are drawn about the perceived advantages and disadvantages of four different CSSP designs. These results show that if partnerships are to be considered as a means to engage responsible businesses in community sustainable development (or other social issues at the local level), then the design of their ongoing (implementation) structure is a critical consideration. This is particularly true for CSSPs that are aiming to achieve collaborative goals, CSSPs addressing complex topics that require a long-term partnership and/or CSSPs with a large number of organizations involved. This chapter provides insights for both practitioners and collaboration scholars. Given the choice of case studies, it is also relevant for those interested in community sustainability, sustainable development, and strategic management.

This study uses critical discourse analysis and framing theory to analyse the meaning of Green Jobs claims, and their representation and transformation. Based on an analysis of print media from 1999 to 2009 and supporting policy documents, five predominant frames were identified in Green Jobs discourse: Environment-Economy Bridge, Green Entrepreneurship, Nascent Industry Creation, Internal Industry Transformation, and Structural Adjustment. Coverage of Green Jobs discourse has sharply increased since 2008. Although the term remains loosely defined and is employed in multiple ways, it is predominantly used as a strategic link between the recession and climate change policy. The fractured framing used in Green Jobs discourse hinders its uptake as a meaningful concept informing job creation, greening of industry, and sustainable development policy. Media, policymakers and advocacy groups should clarify the underlying definition when using the term. {\textcopyright} 2012 John Wiley and Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.}, keywords = {climate change, environmental economics, environmental policy, stakeholder, sustainable development}, issn = {09680802}, doi = {10.1002/sd.1526}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/sd.1526 }, author = {Kouri, R. and Clarke, A.} } @book {Hoque2014149, title = {Implementing a Developing Country\’s Global Environmental Commitments: Industry Perspectives on Potential Pollution Prevention Programs in Bangladesh}, series = {Collaboration for Sustainability and Innovation: A Role for Sustainability Driven by the Global South?: A Cross-Border, Multi-Stakeholder Perspective}, year = {2014}, note = {Pre-Publication Version}, pages = {149-175}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, organization = {Springer Netherlands}, abstract = {This chapter is positioned in the literature that discusses the tension between global environmental commitments and local implementation from the perspective of a developing country. It focuses on the implementation of international conventions, treaties and protocols signed and ratified by Bangladesh, as evidenced by the existence of related programs. The programs examined in this study were proposed by the Asian Development Bank in 1994, based on international best practices for industrial pollution prevention. The chapter also frames the regulatory, market-based and voluntary initiatives on a policy continuum from compliance, cooperative and collaborative approaches and compares the perceived existence of these approaches. The business perspectives of these programs are analyzed in the tannery, pulp and paper, fertilizer, textile and cement industries. Results show that although there are environmental regulations for preventing industrial pollution in Bangladesh, they are not as effective or comprehensive as they could be. The study also found that voluntary programs and economic incentive programs are present to a very limited extent.

The study is an exploratory one, using both primary and secondary data. Five industries were selected from the top-ten environment polluting industries in Bangladesh; these are the tannery, pulp \& paper, fertilizer, textile and cement industries. From each industry group, two sample plants were selected with five executives participating from each plant. This study highlights the reality of Bangladeshi industrial plants in applying pollution prevention initiatives. It reveals that compared to leading firms in developed countries, pollution prevention initiatives in Bangladesh are considerably underutilized. All of the industries undertook some pollution prevention activities, though each of them had potential for improvement. For example, none of the case sites engaged in pollution prevention through designing environmentally compatible products. {\textcopyright} 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

While municipal and corporate sectors benefit from step-by-step guidance on the process of developing a sustainability report from scratch, such guidance is lacking for higher education institutions. In this chapter, select municipal and corporate sustainability reporting processes and existing sustainable campus literature are examined alongside empirical evidence from the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Canada) to arrive at the seven-step process for developing a first-time sustainable development report for a higher education institution. The steps are: 1) review Higher Education (HE) sector sustainability reports; 2) review HE sector sustainability assessment tools; 3) develop guiding principles; 4) engage the stakeholders; 5) collect sustainability performance information; 6) verify report accuracy; and 7) publish the report and welcome feedback. This chapter is particularly relevant for higher education institutions that are considering preparing a sustainability report for the first time.

While there is a growing body of literature on CSSP, there is little focus on collaborative strategic management, especially where implementation and outcomes are concerned. This study addresses these gaps by offering a conceptual model of collaborative strategic management, which is then tested through the use of two qualitative empirical cases of collaborative regional sustainable development strategies (CRSDS). The model augments previous collaboration models by highlighting two levels of implementation (the collaboration and the organizational levels) and by considering the different types of outcomes, and the feedback loops. {\textcopyright} 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.}, issn = {01674544}, doi = {10.1007/s10551-011-0781-5}, url = {https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007\%2Fs10551-011-0781-5 }, author = {Clarke, A. and Fuller, M.} } @inbook {17692, title = {Community Engagement in University of British Columbia\’s Climate Action Plan}, booktitle = {.)

The paper also documents the roles students have played and considers the larger youth engagement implications. Many of these initiatives can be replicated elsewhere, thereby providing a starting point for students wanting to begin an initiative or providing ideas for other campus stakeholders wanting to engage students in initiatives. Design/methodology/approach - Campus reports were collected by the Sierra Youth Coalition from 65 Canadian Universities and Colleges. This qualitative information was coded for student-led climate-related initiatives, and for the roles students played in those initiatives. The patterns were identified and clustered, and are presented in this paper. Findings - Students were found to be successfully leading eight different types of campus climate change-related initiatives, both with the support of other campus stakeholders and without this support. Students were also found to be able to successfully take on a variety of types of leadership roles in these initiatives. Youth engagement ranged from socialization to influence to power, depending on the type of initiative. Research limitations/implications - A limitation of this research is that only 65 of the approximately 227 colleges and universities in Canada participated. Also, it is possible that some schools may not have reported all student-led initiatives, or all the student roles. In addition, the data were limited to the 2007/2008 academic year, so is limited to the initiatives which occurred in that year. Originality/value - This paper presents different types of student-led climate change initiatives, the roles students have played in these initiatives, and the implications for youth engagement in creating climate change solutions. It contributes to the climate change, the campus sustainability, and the social movements literatures. {\textcopyright} Emerald Group Publishing Limited.}, issn = {14676370}, doi = {10.1108/14676370910972594}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652609000614 }, author = {Helferty, A. and Clarke, A.} } @webarticle {17697, title = {Collaborative Strategic Management: Success Factors per Process Phase}, journal = {ESADE{\textquoteright}s Institute of Public Management (IDGP) E-Newsletter: PUBLIC.}, year = {2007}, url = {http://esadepublic.esade.edu/posts/post/collaborative-strategic-management-success-factors-per-process-phase}, author = {Clarke, A.} } @article {Clarke200715, title = {Regional Sustainability Strategies: A Comparison of Eight Canadian Approaches}, journal = {Plan Canada}, volume = {47}, number = {3}, year = {2007}, note = {Pre-Publication Version}, pages = {15-18}, abstract = {As municipalities set out to tackle sustainable development, it is useful to examine existing Canadian regional sustainability plans/ strategies.

Design/methodology/approach {\textendash} A case study of environmental management at Dalhousie University between 1990 and 2005 was conducted. Data were collected through 13 interviews with senior management and through 22 interviews with faculty, students and staff. Findings {\textendash} Two EMS cycles emerged with an overlap in the policy, planning and implementation phases, as well as unpredicted {\textquotedblleft}maintaining implementation{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}renewing{\textquotedblright} phases. Emergent plans and best practices from other universities fed into the EMS cycle at the implementation and review stages, respectively. Practical implications {\textendash} An improved EMS model is presented. It includes feedback loops, emergent plans, unrealized plans, the renew concept, and best practices. Six practical lessons extracted from the case study are: {\textquotedblleft}early movers{\textquotedblright}; champions; administrative versus academic versus joint environmental policies; opportunism; and, the change cycle.
