Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
‘Sustainability’, the capacity to support, maintain or preserve, has emerged as one of the crucial considerations in corporate strategies for firms to survive the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) environments and perform better. Enterprises of all sizes across the globe must strive to adapt to the unpredictable futures to ensure their sustainable business growth via the adoption of a wide variety of solutions and approaches. Especially given phenomenal technological advances in recent decades, firm performance depends largely on the continued application of novel technologies, leading to a new focus on the role of technological innovation in the sustainable business. It is therefore important to examine the ways in which firms behave differently in high-tech areas to sustain growth and determine the appropriate role for innovation in terms of corporate performance in a constantly changing and competitive business world.
We invite researchers in related fields to submit papers on any theoretical and empirical analysis, qualitative and quantitative studies, as well as new methods, models, and techniques to explore opportunities and challenges of “Sustainable Business and Corporate Performance” from diverse perspectives.
Submissions are solicited on a wide variety of topics. These include but are not limited to:
- Sustainability as a pillar of new strategies for competitive businesses;
- Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) in relation to corporate performance;
- Sustainability-based performance measurement;
- Technology and innovation management for sustainable business;
- Organizational management for sustainable business.
