Traditionally, MNCs like BASF, Unilever, and Kraft Heinz have relied on bilateral research collaborations with top-25 universities, yielding incremental progress published in papers but not breakthroughs commercialized with SOI impact. But the rapid rise of sustainability challenges requires so much SOI impact that more holistic and integrated approaches to SOI and OI are required, approaches that engage a wider and more inclusive selection of university teams and that combine collaboration and competition for accelerated cocreation and commercialization. We propose a strategic framework that merges SOI and OI principles into university-catalyzed collaborative competitions. The strategic framework is illustrated through three cases describing how BASF, Unilever, and Kraft Heinz have cocreated radical solutions to grand sustainability challenges. Our analysis and synthesis of the new collaborative-competition model provide managerial and academic insights into how collaborative competitions can be established and performed to enable MNCs to more effectively solve grand sustainability challenges.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 6","pages":"Pages 743-757"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145223603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on the stakeholder governance framework, we propose an actionable framework to help firms identify, develop, and scale these unplanned yet impactful CSR efforts. Drawing on an 11-month ethnographic study of China’s food delivery industry, we examine how offline-to-online platform companies inadvertently supported the employment of hearing-impaired delivery workers. We trace how these reactive measures evolved into meaningful commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion. By shedding light on the mechanisms through which accidental CSR unfolds, this study offers practical guidance for managers to recognize and leverage emerging opportunities. Furthermore, the article underscores the importance of integrating marginalized groups into CSR strategies and calls for further research that offers actionable, evidence-based frameworks to guide inclusive and equitable corporate practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 6","pages":"Pages 777-791"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145223605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given this challenging environment, we argue that it is critical that CEOs successfully execute their sustainability agendas to avoid criticism. Unfortunately, the complexities surrounding the execution of sustainability initiatives make achieving good sustainability performance difficult. As such, this article makes two small but critical contributions to improving organizational sustainability performance. First, we argue that if CEOs want to improve their organization’s ability to improve sustainability outcomes, they need to start by measuring their organization’s sustainability culture. Second, we leverage an empirically validated innovation culture measurement model to operationalize a sustainability culture diagnostic tool that CEOs can use to measure their organization’s sustainability culture. Finally, we provide preliminary guidance on how CEOs can use the sustainability culture diagnostic to improve their organization’s sustainability culture and performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 6","pages":"Pages 793-805"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145223606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Companies are increasingly and purposefully crafting customer experiences as a means to create such value and to establish competitive advantage. Although for-profits have been quick to adopt the practice of experience design (XD) in developing meaningful experiences and interactions, nonprofit entities have been slow to follow. XD is an integrated and strategic operational approach that creates relevant value for stakeholders of an organization by designing customizable yet consistent brand experiences. The failure to embrace and adopt XD is a missed opportunity for nonprofits. While a well-crafted experience offers a supplemental value for the products and services of for-profit firms, experiences provide a fundamental and exceptional source of value for nonprofit organizations<span>. Thoughtful XD offers the potential to establish trust, improve connectivity, build loyalty, and boost relevance with a diverse set of stakeholders, including donors, employees, and strategic partners. Successful outcomes of well-executed XD at nonprofit organizations include increased donor retention rates, larger financial resource pools, and enhanced societal impact. Our work outlines key principles for implementing XD and equips resource-constrained nonprofits in implementing XD at low cost.</span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 5","pages":"Pages 627-643"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144890236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
