We use a case of competition between incumbent dairy company Arla and the oat milk innovator Oatly to give examples of four ideal typical varieties of niche construction.
New article out with @lenseabrooke.bsky.social, Kevin L. Young and Søren Lund Frandsen in @degruyterbrill.bsky.social Journal of Organizational Sociology. We adapt niche construction theory to study interactions between organizations and environments.
www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...
The theory lets us connect changes in organizational fields and populations to changes in the environment. Niche constructors intervene directly in the environment to improve selection pressures, thereby also strategically changing field-population dynamics.
We contrast the Niche Construction Perspective with the cultural and demographic schools of organizational sociology.
Niche Construction Theory endogenizes the environment to organizational analysis, offering new ways of understanding selection pressures, interaction, and variation.

The contribution is to theorize and substantiate epistemic derisking as a novel form of derisking, adding to the more established and better understood financial and regulatory forms.
Against conventional wisdom, epistemic derisking may actually build state capacity rather than reduce it.
"Epistemic derisking" describes how knowledge infrastructures – such as energy models, scenarios, and plans – are leveraged by states in efforts to mobilize private capital for energy transitions. New article with @rosiecollington.bsky.social: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
