Item Open Access Flush with success: How social enterprises are scaling up to meet global sanitation challenges(WSUP, Cranfiel Univeristy and CBSA, 2023-08-14) Adams, Richard J.; Markandya, Polly; McLaren, MelodyIntroduction: How can Small and Medium-Sized Social Enterprises (SMSE) help meet our enormous global sanitation challenges? What's holding them back, and how can governments, businesses, donors, and academia support them to achieve the scale required? To answer these questions, the “Flush With Success” roundtable on 14 June 2023, co-hosted by Cranfield School of Management, Water & Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP) and the Container Based Sanitation Alliance (CBSA), brought together sanitation experts, social entrepreneurs and researchers to share the hurdles and opportunities of supporting growth through the provision of facilities and services in the sector. WSUP Chief Executive Ed Mitchell noted, global sanitation “is a challenge that is so big that no one organisation can solve it or even begin to solve it.” This report summarises the diverse contributions of the roundtable’s panel as well as input from more than 50 international participants, all facilitated by CBSA Executive Director Rémi Kaupp. Discussions surfaced several systemic issues faced by actors in the sanitation sector when trying to achieve scale. In this report, these are organised according to the five Strategic Areas of the WSUP Urban WASH sector Functionality Evaluative FrameworkItem Open Access Shades of Grey: guidelines for working with the grey literature in systematic reviews for management and organizational studies(Wiley, 2016-04-19) Adams, Richard J.; Smart, Palie; Sigismund Huff, AnneThis paper suggests how the ‘grey literature’, the diverse and heterogeneous body of material that is made public outside, and not subject to, traditional academic peer-review processes, can be used to increase the relevance and impact of management and organization studies (MOS). The authors clarify the possibilities by reviewing 140 systematic reviews published in academic and practitioner outlets to answer the following three questions: (i) Why is grey literature excluded from/included in systematic reviews in MOS? (ii) What types of grey material have been included in systematic reviews since guidelines for practice were first established in this discipline? (iii) How is the grey literature treated currently to advance management and organization scholarship and knowledge? This investigation updates previous guidelines for more inclusive systematic reviews that respond to criticisms of current review practices and the needs of evidence-based management.
