DESCRIPTION:Sustainability transitions involve changes across technologies\
 , markets\, policy\, infrastructure\, and institutions. Multiple organisat
 ions contribute to these changes across organisational boundaries. These o
 rganisations differ in their priorities\, interpretations\, and roles\, ye
 t their activities may be interdependent. Inter-organisational networks br
 ing these actors together around formally articulated ambitions for system
 ic change. However\, a shared ambition and participation in network activi
 ties do not\, on their own\, explain collective action within an ongoing s
 ustainability transition. This study examines what the network's relationa
 l structure and participants' understandings of the transition reveal abou
 t collective action.\n\nThe study focuses on an inter-organisational netwo
 rk spanning more than 50 organisations across Australia's timber and const
 ruction sectors. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design guides the
  analysis across three phases. Phase 1 applies whole-network social networ
 k analysis (SNA) to administrative and documentary data to examine pattern
 s of participation\, community structure\, core–periphery organisation\,
  brokerage\, and governance positions. The structural analysis informs pur
 poseful sampling for Phase 2\, with participants selected from different s
 tructural positions across the network. Phase 2 draws on semi-structured i
 nterviews with selected network participants and organisational materials.
  An iterative interpretive qualitative analysis examines how participants 
 understand the sustainability transition and how these understandings rela
 te to the network's formally articulated direction for change.\n\nPhase 3\
 , currently in progress\, integrates the relational and interpretive findi
 ngs to examine collective action within the network. Neither structural po
 sitions nor participants' understandings are treated as sufficient evidenc
 e of collective action on their own. The integration considers what these 
 dimensions reveal about collective efforts within an inter-organisational 
 network established to pursue long-term systemic transformation during an 
 ongoing sustainability transition.
