| Abstract: | Currently, the world faces various environmental and sustainability challenges, and sustainability transitions are more than needed. Since the dairy industry is among the most polluting industries in the world, sustainability transitions are also needed in this industry. While it has been recognised by previous research that incumbents can play a large role in sustainability transitions, a need was identified for a better understanding of incumbents’ roles, motivations and behaviours in sustainability transitions in the dairy industry. Given this need, this paper seeks to provide a clear understanding of the forces at play that influence the decisions of incumbent dairy processing firms in the Netherlands whether to participate in sustainability transitions or not. Through conducting interviews with experts in the field, this study obtained first-hand knowledge on the constellation of forces influencing incumbents’ behaviour in sustainability transitions. Finally, this study provides an understanding and clear overview of the different forces at play and conflicts between different forces, through which the constellation of forces at play can be understood. |
