Abstract
studied problem of how different management practices actually influence
the environment. We test the socio-material philosophies actor-network
theory, object-oriented ontology and agential realism on the life cycle
assessment (LCA) cases bread and cement, through three examples. We
conclude that socio-materiality point out that managers could benefit from
an increased contextual understanding of the material and energy flows that
their decisions influence. For LCA analysts, it highlights that including
actual practices and action networks of people handling the flows could be
useful for reaching effective use of LCA flow model results.
