The most important theme of the discourse on sustainable
development and sustainability challenges concerns the relationship
between innovation and sustainability. This book represents a
realistic critical overview of the state of affairs of sustainable
innovations, offering an accessible and comprehensive diagnostic
point of reference for both the academic and practitioner worlds.
In order for sustainable innovation to truly become mainstream
practice in business it is necessary to find out how organizations
can strategically and efficiently accommodate sustainability and
innovation in such a manner that they accomplish value capturing
(for firms, stakeholders, and for society), not merely creating a
return on the social responsibility agenda. Addressing this
challenge, the book draws together research from a range of
perspectives in order to understand the potential shifts and
barriers, benefits, and outcomes from all angles: inception,
strategic process, and impact for companies and society. The book
also delivers insights of (open) innovation in public sector
organizations, which is not so much a process of invention as it is
one of adoption and diffusion. It examines how the environmental
pillar of the triple bottom line in private firms is often a
by-product of thinking about the economic pillar, where cost
reductions may be achieved through process innovation in terms of
eliminating waste and reducing energy consumption. The impact of
open innovation on process innovation, and sustainable process
innovation in particular, is an underexplored area but is examined
in this book. It also considers the role of the individual
entrepreneur in bringing about sustainable innovation;
entrepreneurs, their small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as
well as the innovation ecosystems they build play a significant
role in generating sustainable innovations where these smaller
organizations are much more flexible than large organizations in
targeting societal needs and challenges. The readership will
incorporate PhD students and postgraduate researchers, as well as
practitioners from organizational advisory fields.
