(2024) BUSN09 20241Department of Business Administration
- Abstract
- This qualitative study delves into enhancing the scalability of sustainable development across European nations by analyzing the key success factors in sustainable urban mobility initiatives. Employing an abductive approach, the research integrates existing theoretical frameworks of stakeholder management, stakeholder salience, and value creation, with the aim to provide practical insights rather than solely filling theoretical gaps. The empirical focus on Barcelona's Superblock project exemplifies a holistic approach integrating transportation, architecture, and ecology, making it a valuable case study. Insights from the study reveal the importance of effective stakeholder management, recognizing both supportive and resistant... (More)
- This qualitative study delves into enhancing the scalability of sustainable development across European nations by analyzing the key success factors in sustainable urban mobility initiatives. Employing an abductive approach, the research integrates existing theoretical frameworks of stakeholder management, stakeholder salience, and value creation, with the aim to provide practical insights rather than solely filling theoretical gaps. The empirical focus on Barcelona's Superblock project exemplifies a holistic approach integrating transportation, architecture, and ecology, making it a valuable case study. Insights from the study reveal the importance of effective stakeholder management, recognizing both supportive and resistant stakeholders, to leverage support and prevent unforeseen resistance. Stakeholder participation through co-creation fosters shared understanding and value, enhancing responsiveness to community needs. Challenges such as political resistance and public misconceptions necessitate depoliticizing projects, emphasizing societal benefits and employing proactive communication strategies. Incremental and pragmatic approaches to project implementation can mitigate risks and ensure sustainable progress. This study essentially highlights the complex dynamics and strategies of importance for the successful implementation of sustainable urban mobility initiatives, emphasizing stakeholder engagement, supportive policies, and multidisciplinary collaboration. It contributes to broader global sustainability goals by offering practical insights for policymakers and urban planners. (Less)
