| Abstract |
|
"In times of major global interconnectedness and environmental change, the pressure to identify, create, and exploit new resources is certain to intensify. Given that there are unavoidable trade-offs, conflicts, and arenas for violence involved when increasingly more material and immaterial things are turned into resources, we call for explicit research on the very process – a process that we label resourcification. The concept of resourcification shifts attention from essentialist queries about the nature of resources to a focus on the social processes through which things are turned into resources. In search of a better understanding of resources in the Anthropocene and, in particular, an understanding about the way resources emerge and are used, resourcification offers a new conceptual framework that allows for a systematic search for knowledge about the diversity of contexts, conditions, modes, and temporalities of resourcification. This Resourcification Manifesto offers a theoretical and empirical framework for a radical and disruptive approach to innovation, sustainability, and management studies and policies."

"organisational actors will go to great lengths to assert their power over the resources upon which they depend and to create an environment that serves their interests. More generally, resourcification occurs among the networks of power that it draws upon, while strengthening some actors and interests and weakening others."

Resourcification is founded on extractivism—extracting something and turning it into a resource. Only a cynical person would say academic managers extract academics' sweat, blood, and tears and turn that into inflated wage packages and bonuses.
