abstract = {The pressing need to address the multiple social and environmental challenges of our time demands creatively and effectively tackle grand challenges and move from possible or probable futures to desirable or preferred ones. In this study, we focus on an impact investing fund in Italy and an accelerator and investor in Spain, and, through an ethnographic approach, we build on recent literature on futures and future-making to uncover some of the mechanisms through which organizations in the social entrepreneurship and impact investing spaces make sense of and give sense to the future, in order to create and shape their preferred futures in the field.},

abstract = {In recent decades, many governance frameworks have been created at the global level to regulate the impacts of multinational firms on society and the natural environment. Yet our understanding of how these frameworks arise and continually evolve has remained limited. In this paper, we address this gap by offering a theory of structuration?the process whereby existing social structures are created, diffused, drawn upon, combined, and altered by actors to further their own objectives. We build our conceptual framework at the intersection of two lines of structuration theory that have grown in isolation from one another, namely, the macrosociological perspective in the world polity literature and the microsociological perspective in the work on the structure-agency duality. Our theory is explicitly nonteleological; depicts actors as fallible, rooted in history, and subject to behavioral biases; and offers some explanation for the missteps and misunderstandings that are commonly observed in the histories of global governance frameworks. We illustrate our theory with a strategic conduct analysis of the first fifteen years of the United Nations Global Compact, the world's largest governance framework for corporate social responsibility.},
