The rise of sustainability in management forces enterprises to
revisit the concept of profitability that drives their
operations. Social standards and ecological targets represent
critical factors that challenge industry networks. The interplay
of these goals requires new insights from scientific research and
managerial practice. New approaches and systems are needed to
minimize environmental and social harms and to promote
sustainability.
