In this Chapter I present a general introduction to the background and development of this thesis. Considering the increasing challenges concerning the depletion of natural resources, environmental degradation, climate change and social inequity, it is urgent for human beings to respond to the current sustainability challenges in a fundamental way. That is, to pursue sustainability transformation. Increasingly, more attention has been paid to the inner dimension of sustainability transformation which is closely related to people's values, i.e., what is important to them. While engaging with values has been identified to be promising for promoting sustainability transformation, and there are reports of increasing research efforts, the complexity of conceptualizing values and operationalization that conceptualization has so hindered progress. Here I propose a new perspective: to consider the nature of values as tacit knowledge and to conceptualize the common practice of making values explicit as 'externalization' (as defined in Knowledge Creation Theory). I then can explore the use of values towards sustainability transformation in empirical settings, to help improve understanding and prescription of them for future use. I ask the primary research question "What is the role/potential of externalizing shared values, in getting people onto their pathways towards sustainability transformation?". The empirical setting is Shanghai, China. The empirical operationalization of fieldwork is realized through a well-establish method known as 'WeValue InSitu', which assists in the crystallization of shared values of naturally occurring groups (experience-based). Using a social constructive approach, this work thus explores how the process of externalizing shared values within three different social groups and contextual settings contributes to transformation.
