In this chapter, Translating the Global Script of the Sustainable University: The Case of the University of Oslo, Rómulo Pinheiro, Maryam Faghihimani and Jarle Trondal discuss the green strategy of University of Oslo. This chapter, which is conceptually based on neo-institutional theory, approaches the notion of the 'sustainable organisation" as a global, legitimate script, i.e. a dominant hegemonic idea which, once adopted and consequently adapted locally, is likely to enhance both internal and external legitimacy. This analysis is built on the empirical case of the University of Oslo (UiO), that sheds light on the ways in which the notion of a 'sustainable university" has been locally "translated" in order to fit (be aligned with) contextual circumstances, including path- and resource- dependencies, strategic intentions and aspirations, and internal values and norms. More specifically, the chapter investigates the rationale for, and the key actors behind, the design and subsequent implementation of a 'sustainable strategic platform" at UiO, and casts light on the degree of institutionalisation: rules, standard operating procedures and resource allocations across the board.
