The Impact

Competing frames and interests regarding food provision and resource allocation, adding to the increased global interdependencies, necessitate agri-food companies and institutions to engage themselves in very diverse multi-stakeholder settings. To develop new forms of interaction, and governance, researchers with very different backgrounds in social sciences try to align, or at least share, research trajectories. This first paper in a special issue on governance of differential stakeholder interests discusses, first, different usages of stakeholder categories, second, the related intersubjectivity in sciences, third, an rough sketch of the use of stakeholder management in different social sciences. Social science researchers study a wide variety of topics, such as individual stakeholder impact on new business models, stakeholder group responses to health claims, firm characteristics explaining multi-stakeholder dialogue, and the impact of multi-stakeholder dialogue on promoting production systems, and on environmental innovations. Interestingly, researchers use very different methods for data gathering and data analysis.

Abstract The Joint Action on Health Equity Europe (JAHEE) identified municipalities as relevant level of intervention to promote health equity. Place and health are both determinants of inequity and could be influenced through policy fields such as urban or social planning. One major challenge of this health in all policies (HiAP) approach is inter-sectoral collaboration within administration, politics and with other stakeholders, including the public. Within different sectors, concepts of equity vary and are not on the agenda of everyday work. We explore the potential of the German adaptation of the Place Standard Tool to foster inter-sectoral multi-stakeholder dialogue on health equity in urban and rural contexts, and how it can possibly support local governance for health in all policies in Germany. Our presentation is based on a transfer project of the Place Standard Tool to the German context within the JAHEE project. In 2020, the tool is pilot tested in four municipalities in Germany, which differ in size, urban and rural context and which are located in two federal states. It is applied in real municipal planning and participation processes. In this pilot study we also explore how the Place Standard Tool could be used to reach those people of the public who are usually underrepresented in healthy urban and rural development. This is essential to follow aspects of procedural justice and empowerment which are one dimension of health equity.

Corporate Social

Business and policy actors increasingly make use of multi-stakeholder interactions (MSI) as a corporate social responsibility strategy to understand, influence, harmonise and meet stakeholders’ social, environmental and financial expectations and so to create value. While many researchers and practitioners have recently described the role of MSI for sustainable innovation and development, little is known about how organisations can develop a capability to effectively create and maintain a dialogue with stakeholders and learn from them. The paper explores the organisational characteristics driving two key capabilities needed for effective MSI: stakeholder dialogue and knowledge integration. Based on the empirical evidence from four business cases, the research follows an explorative approach building upon stakeholder and organisational learning theories. Findings indicate that the ‘involvement of senior management and employees’, ‘open culture’, ‘vision towards sustainability’ and ‘hierarchical structure’ are key drivers of stakeholder dialogue and knowledge integration capabilities.
