Business sustainability and sustainable development are of great
importance in modern-day socio-economic study. Despite this, the
impact of recent contributions from systems and complexity sciences
in addressing these issues has not yet filtered down into effective
practice. This book argues that there is a need for urgency in the
application of analytical tools which embody the principles of
complexity management in sustainability research, in particular in
the context of the global climate change. The approach presented is
based on the concept of clusters of whole systems coming together
through collaboration, in order to create larger wholes capable of
dealing with the issues facing our socio-economic environmental
systems.In this updated second edition, the authors further clarify
the viability and sustainability (V&S) approach, and the
criteria and framework needed for sustainable governance. It
includes a more detailed perspective on the implications of the
V&S approach to businesses and networks towards changes in
structure, strategy and processes, inspired by specific case
studies. Key additions include a criteria for designing more viable
and sustainable self-governed organizations, the methodologies and
tools to design and implement self-transformations towards
sustainability, and how these tools support sustainability
management individually and globally, for businesses and society.
