Where do you see the paradigm at work?
We are looking for companies and organizations that live according to this paradigm, or come close to it. The opposite is just as valuable: cases where cooperation and shared purpose are undermined. Anybody can contribute, and one concrete situation is enough.
Where do you see the paradigm at work?
We are looking for companies and organizations that live according to this paradigm, or come close to it. Do you know one? Tell us about it, and tell us why you think it qualifies.
The opposite is just as valuable: cases where cooperation and shared purpose are undermined because an organization or institution still runs on the prevailing paradigm.
Anybody can contribute: executives, employees, students, researchers, teachers, consultants. Experience from business organizations is the most important evidence, and cases from public organizations, non-profits and any other setting are welcome.
A case does not need to cover everything. One concrete situation is enough: what the setting was, what happened, and what it led to.
What makes a good case
A good case relates, in one way or another, to how a team or an organization achieves economic performance that is aligned with sustainability, in a self-regulating way: people keeping each other behind a shared purpose rather than being controlled from above.
It is concrete. It names the actors involved, the context, and the practices at work. It describes what happened, and what performance it led to.
It can be a success or a failure; understanding where the paradigm is blocked is as instructive as seeing where it thrives.
Three ways to contribute
The form opens with a category choice. The richest form of evidence leads, and the threshold for a simple story stays low.
A case in which the organization is named and publicly identifiable, with the richest level of detail.
A concrete case, described explicitly, with supporting data or material available on request.
A personal experience. The organization is not named, and the story can be published anonymously. It cannot be verified, and that is fine; it still shows where the paradigm lives or where it is blocked.
Submit a case
Fields marked with an asterisk are required. Your contact details are kept confidential and never published without your consent.
What happens with submissions
Why share a case? Because a paradigm becomes visible through evidence. Selected cases are published on this page and shared through the newsletter as learning material for executives, educators and researchers. Contributors build the evidence base of the prosocial market economy, and published cases let others discover organizations that already think this way.
Every submission is read. We reply to contributors whose case we would like to publish or learn more about.
Conditions and consent
What a case needs to entail
Three parts: the situation (the actors, the context, the practices at work), what happened, and the outcomes it led to. A case can be a success or a failure.
Review
This is not an advertising channel. All submissions, and named cases in particular, are reviewed before publication. The initiative decides what is published and may edit for length and clarity. Promotional copy is declined.
Consent
Contact details are required for every submission and are never published without consent. You choose whether a published case carries your name, appears anonymously, or is used as background only. Anonymous publication is available for stories.
