Sustainable development and the firm: Organizational innovations and environmental strategy
为可持续发展与企业战略提供了经济框架，强调组织创新的关键作用，并讨论了时间因素和生态后果，适合关注企业环境战略的研究者。
Abstract Sustainable development is increasingly receiving attention from proactive firms. A consistent economic framework which could be used as the economic foundation of both sustainable development and firm strategies towards sustainable development is developed here. It is shown that organizational innovations play a crucial part. Sustainable development requires organizational innovations which could change the business perspective dramatically. Time seems to be a crucial factor when business decisions in accordance with sustainable development are to be made. The content and meaning of sustainable development are briefy discussed. The analysis focuses on the economic interpretation and ecological consequences; some empirical data used to evaluate the future of sustainable development are considered. A model for the economic basis of long‐term development is presented.
