Sustainable Solutions for SCM

was purposefully situated in an extreme setting for the purpose of providing contrast, it is likely that some degree of resource scarcity and task interdependence is present in most settings in which goal structures are used. Therefore, we hope that our study will serve as an impetus for future research that more fully explores how such contingencies impact individual and group behaviour. Schill et al.: Cooperation is not enough – exploring social-ecological micro-foundations for sustainable common-pool resource use [38] Developing management strategies in a complex social-ecological environment also requires ecological knowledge and approaches to deal with perceived environmental uncertainty. Cooperation in a self-governed commons dilemma implies that resource users restrain their exploitation to a mutually agreed level. The aim of this paper is to identify conditions under which cooperation amongst resource users can lead to sustainable resource use in a self-governed CPR (common-pool resource) setting. Whereas cooperative groups get closer to following the optimal exploitation path by the end of the game, we do not see the same trend in the non-cooperative groups to the left. Numerous experimental studies show that trust and social preferences are important factors for initiating and sustaining cooperation. There are many ways to interpret and define trust and social preferences: in Agent Ex an agent is more likely to choose and stick to a group agreement, i.e., cooperate, if it is concerned about a fair distribution of payoffs (social preferences) and if it trusts that the others in the group will do so as well, i.e. social uncertainty is low. Put differently, agents with social preferences can be classified as conditional co-operators. They are only willing to cooperate if they think the other group members will do so as well. The higher the trust (and lower the social uncertainty), the higher the probability that an agent cooperates. In summary, the decision to cooperate (or not) is not linked to a certain ‘behaviour type’ but determined by the interaction of several factors, including social preferences, the level of trust and the expected payoff. Davey et al.: Does context matter in academic entrepreneurship? The role of barriers and drivers in the regional and national context [3] From the economic perspective, cooperation with industry enables universities and academics in particular, to diversify their funding resources and provide a strategy to respond to the pressure of governmental cuts in public funding and governmental rethinking on the allocation of public support of research in general. A number of obstacles or inhibitors hinder the process of academic entrepreneurship. One of them is the awareness barriers which are related to structural barrier companies and universities face when having difficulties finding an appropriate cooperation partner. Companies find it difficult to find appropriate contact persons for initial consulting, which vary according to size and industry sector the business is operating in. This lack of knowledge hinders UBC and does not seem to be solved by being present in the mass media. A substantial barrier to UBC is the lack of funding, regardless of who is perceived to be the ‘funder’, the business, the higher education institution (HEI) or an external government funding. Maintaining a balance between normal academic duties and entrepreneurial activities is a task challenge for academics acting at the boarders of two
