Abstract

The aim of the paper is to investigate the role of hybrid entrepreneurship in developing justice and diversity responses to sustainability transitions that are complicated by contexts of ambiguous socio-technological shifts and manifested in material and ethical dilemmas for ‘the other’, i.e., those deemed different. Based on analysis of two original case studies featuring the other—the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation indigenous community in Canada and the Karachi Down Syndrome Program in Pakistan—we identify the conditions for engaging minority communities in strong collaborative and participatory cross-stakeholder processes to deal with dilemmas posed by sustainability transitions. We centre on issues of social inclusion and social equity. We illuminate how hybrid entrepreneurship practices enable, structure and manage collective learning within and outside hybrid ventures to facilitate equitable transitions. Finally, we propose how to co-create actions that amplify marginalized voices to influence institutions.

公正过渡时期的混合创业：应对 "他人 "面临的困境

本文旨在研究混合创业在制定可持续发展转型的正义和多样性应对措施中的作用，这种转型因模棱两可的社会技术变革背景而变得复杂，并表现为 "他人"（即那些被认为与众不同的人）的物质和道德困境。基于对两个以 "他者 "为主题的原创案例研究--加拿大尼西卡瓦西赫克克里族原住民社区和巴基斯坦卡拉奇唐氏综合症项目--的分析，我们确定了让少数民族社区参与到强有力的合作和参与性跨利益相关方进程中的条件，以应对可持续性转型带来的困境。我们以社会包容和社会公平问题为中心。我们阐明了混合创业实践如何促成、组织和管理混合企业内外的集体学习，以促进公平过渡。最后，我们提出了如何共同创造行动，放大边缘化的声音以影响机构。

期刊介绍： Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions serves as a platform for reporting studies on innovations and socio-economic transitions aimed at fostering an environmentally sustainable economy, thereby addressing structural resource scarcity and environmental challenges, particularly those associated with fossil energy use and climate change. The journal focuses on various forms of innovation, including technological, organizational, economic, institutional, and political, as well as economy-wide and sectoral changes in areas such as energy, transport, agriculture, and water management. It endeavors to tackle complex questions concerning social, economic, behavioral-psychological, and political barriers and opportunities, along with their intricate interactions. With a multidisciplinary approach and methodological openness, the journal welcomes contributions from a wide array of disciplines within the social, environmental, and innovation sciences.
