Abstract

The literature discussing social learning for Anticipatory Adaptation to Climate Change (AACC) has largely been developed at the societal level of analysis. However, how private companies build resilience and reduce damage to their private goods remains underexplored. Since climate change involves high levels of uncertainty and complexity, companies seeking to proactively adapt to climate change are required to search for specific and nontraditional knowledge. In order to contribute to this discussion, we investigated how a community of practice promotes social learning for AACC. We access the social learning emerging from the community of practice by developing a framework that can also be applied to other complex problems faced by companies. We found evidence of the centrality of social learning for the development of strategies and practices addressing grand corporate challenges, such as AACC. The results contribute to both the literature of social learning and the practice of sustainability management.

预期适应气候变化的社会学习:来自实践社区的证据
关于预期适应气候变化的社会学习的研究主要集中在社会层面的分析。然而,私营企业如何建立弹性并减少对其私人产品的损害仍未得到充分探讨。由于气候变化涉及高度的不确定性和复杂性,寻求主动适应气候变化的公司需要寻找特定的和非传统的知识。为了促进这一讨论,我们调查了实践社区如何促进AACC的社会学习。我们通过开发一个也可以应用于公司面临的其他复杂问题的框架,从实践社区中获得社会学习。我们发现了社会学习在解决重大企业挑战(如AACC)的战略和实践发展中的核心作用。研究结果对社会学习的文献和可持续管理的实践都有贡献。
