Today’s fourth generation of mobile connectivity services (4G)
are available everywhere, and adoption of fifth generation (5G)
networks is well underway. Compared to 4G, 5G has already brought
about new business opportunities and enabled seamless virtual and
augmented reality services, but also raised serious concerns on
data privacy and security and the use of artificial intelligence.
The sixth generation (6G) networks are already in R&D phase
aiming at deployment in 2030. We need to understand today what 5G
evolution and 6G may bring for the future of service delivery and
how they will influence us. This edited volume from the world’s
first 6G research program at the University of Oulu, Finland,
provides a multi-disciplinary and insightful overview of the
subject, with contributions from experts in the field. The
contributions answer what 5G, its evolution, and 6G will be about;
what kind of impacts 5G and 6G will have on future digital
services, businesses, and society; how we could benefit from 5G and
6G innovations; and how 5G and 6G should be regulated in the
future. Future 5G evolution and 6G are not only about moving toward
faster, better, and more secure networks providing the basis for
innovative digital services, they are also going to bring about a
huge digital disruption that will affect all levels of society.
This book will be of great interest to academics and students of
management, telecommunications and digital innovation, as well
practitioners and policymakers looking to the future of business.

The developments in our environment and society has made it clear
that the way we run our businesses and govern our nations is not
sustainable in the long run. This is also why more and more
companies and organizations are pursuing sustainable business
through various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
However, many companies experience that although they facilitate a
CSR strategy on corporate level, CSR is often not embedded in their
business and/or integrated across their functions. If companies are
to achieve the full business potential and performance impact of
CSR, sustainability has to be operationalized, targeted and
measured across the value chain through empowered employees and in
alignment with the business strategy of the company. Though
state-of-the-art CSR research, theories and models, the theoretical
platform for sustainable business and CSR is presented in this
book. However, CSR is carried out in practice, and not just in
theory. This is why each chapter is supplemented with practical
case examples explaining the way in which different companies and
their managers have integrated sustainable business in their
strategy and across the organizations' different functions. As is
evident both in theory and practice, the success of CSR integration
is highly affected by industrial context, as the unique
characteristics of the industry have an impact on the key
sustainability challenges and business opportunities of the
specific company and industry. In support of this evidence, the
book also reveals how CSR can be implemented across private and
public organizations as well as small & medium sized entities
(SMEs) Theoretical and empirical topics discussed in the book
include: Defining sustainable business and CSR CSR strategy
integration Stakeholder management Sustainable innovation,
management and production Change management & change leadership
Green business model innovation Responsible HRM and administration
Cradle-to-cradle Green procurement Corporate social innovation
Sustainable Communication and - Sales Business-NGO partnerships
Can innovations in business change society? Can innovations in
society change business? These two questions have become critically
urgent in recent years, but are rarely considered together.
'Business Models for Sustainability Transitions' therefore asks,
can contemplating both concepts together result in a flourishing,
sustainable future? Technology alone cannot save us. We cannot
consciously consume our way out of trouble. This book represents a
start at bridging the dynamic world of business model innovation
with the constant and unprecedented transitions underway in the
world around us. For researchers, practitioners, and policy makers,
the coupling of the two questions has the potential to unlock
answers to our grand global challenges with responses that are at
the same time rapid and enduring. This work offers unique and
considered glimpses into what it may take to harness wide-ranging
innovations for the collective good.

This innovative edited collection explores digital business models
(DBMs) in theory and practice to contribute to knowledge of how
companies, organizations and networks can design, implement and
apply DBMs. It views DBMs in a range of contexts and forms, which
can be integrated in a number of ways, and aims to inspire and
enable academics, students and practitioners to seize the
opportunities posed by digital business models, technologies and
platforms. One of the first and comprehensive contributions to the
field of DBMs and digital business model innovations (DBMI), the
authors discuss the opportunities, challenges, technologies,
implementation and value creation, customer and data protection
processes of DBMs in different contexts.
This book provides a comprehensive exploration into the
identification and development of sustainable business models as
well as their implementation, management and evaluation. With
ever-increasing pressure on organisations to respond to societal
change and improve competition through sustainable business model
innovation (SBMI), this book aims to contribute to the knowledge of
their design and management. The chapters explore the role of
partnerships, the Internet of Things and the circular economy,
among other factors, in developing SBM and how SBMI is facilitated
through ideation and in entrepreneurial settings. Providing new
typologies, patterns and a framework to evaluate the level of
sustainability of business models, this book critically reviews
existing literature on the topic to examine the potential of SBMI
in research and in practice. The contributing authors employ a
number of case studies and case examples to illustrate the
integration of sustainable business models throughout the value
chain, and their influence on wider social, environmental and
business activities.
