Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are at a juncture in history where the cumulative influences of human activity at individual, organizational and societal levels have created many wicked challenges that place individuals, organizations, communities and societies of current and future societies in peril. Such challenges span boundaries that include social equity; organizational structures, strategies and activities; domestic and foreign policy; and environmental policy and practice. In many instances, these place organizations in conflict with governments, and national governments in conflict with one another.
Despite these challenges, there is hope. This Special Issue of Sustainability is dedicated to the hope of addressing wicked challenges in ways that can affect positive and sustainable change through innovation. Of primary interest in this Special Issue is sustainability-oriented innovation by individuals, collaborative groups, or organizations, including, but not limited to creation of or innovation in organizational structures, strategies and activities; research strategies, activities and results; supply chains; ways of working; and game-changing products, processes, or services. Organizations are broadly construed to included for-profit organizations, for-benefit organizations that emphasize doing well by doing good, non-governmental organizations, and public sector organizations.
Collectively then, this Sustainability Special Issue is focused on Sustainable Enterprise Excellence and Innovation.
