| Many business organisations put a lot of effort in raising their performance levels in the three dimensions of sustainability - i.e., people, planet, and profit. It is therefore important to measure and weight the effects of their efforts. In this report a framework is presented that is helpful in analysing the social, environmental, and economic activities of a business firm or chain. This framework is based on Wood's (1991) model of corporate social performance. However, it is enriched by incorporating contributions by other significant scientific studies in the fields of corporate social performance and business ethics. Furthermore, based on a review of the scientific literature, suggestions for operationalising the framework are offered. |

| The study forms part of the project 'Visions of organic agriculture: a system analysis' which was financed by Wageningen University and Research Centre from Strategic Expertise Development resources. In this project various categories of people are distinguished in order to concretise the visions. The report describes the plant-based organic chain, from consumer to suppliers. The description ends with a SWOT analysis for the four categories of people and a quantification of the technical parameters for these categories. De studie vormt een onderdeel van het project 'Visies op biologische landbouw: een systeemanalyse'. Dit project is gefinancierd door Wageningen Universiteit en Researchcentrum uit middelen voor Strategische Expertise Ontwikkeling. In dit... |

| The aim of this article is to test the thesis "commitment of retail chains as well as favourable policy conditions are the main drivers of the steady market growth of organic agriculture in Europe." (Yussefi and Willer, 2003). Therefore, the role of government policy and of retail chains in four European countries - Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands - are analysed. It seems that the collaboration between government, chain participants and NGOs is of considerable importance, in which active stimulation and the provision of guidance to the channel from the retail chains, in combination with an active and stimulating government policy, can cause an impulse in growth. It should be noted that other factors must also be present in order... |

| This study forms part of the project entitled 'Visions of organic farming: a system analysis'. This project is being financed by Wageningen University and Research Centre, from Strategic Expertise Development funds. This project distinguishes categories of people in order to crystallise the visions. This report comprises a description of the vegetable-based organic chain. This chain is described from the consumer stage right through to the suppliers. The description concludes with a SWOT analysis for the four categories of people and a quantification of the technical parameters for those categories. De studie vormt een onderdeel van het project 'Visies op biologische landbouw: een systeem analyse'. Dit project is gefinancierd door Wageningen Universiteit... |

| This report explores the applicability of a number of methods, models, and concepts from the literature on strategic management, diffusion, and social networks with respect to the monitoring of transition processes. First, transition theory is analysed to identify aspects that should be monitored. Subsequently, the possible contribution of the various methods, models, and concepts to monitor these aspects is determined. In dit rapport wordt voor een aantal methoden, modellen en concepten uit de strategisch management-, diffusie- en sociale netwerkliteratuur verkend wat de toepassingsmogelijkheden zijn in het kader van transitiemonitoring. Daartoe wordt eerst uit de transitietheorie afgeleid welke aspecten in kaart moeten worden gebracht. Vervolgens wordt... |
