Following on from your comment Ali, then a Foucauldian question in my
research might be:

'What is the limit of activism and legislation that will cause organisations
to behave in a sustainable way?'

I feel that senior managers do not care about sustainability (environmental
and social) unless they have been caught. When they have been caught they
care a whole lot.
