How COVID‐19 Informs Business Sustainability Research: It’s Time for a Systems Perspective
主张采用系统视角来理解新冠疫情对商业和社会的影响，强调商业需认识到增长极限、替代时间观、全球系统中的本地嵌套性以及减少社会不平等的杠杆点，以预防未来疫情并确保繁荣。
Abstract In this essay, we argue that by taking a systems lens, sustainability researchers can better understand the implications of COVID‐19 on business and society and prevent future pandemics. A systems lens asks management researchers to move from a firm‐level perspective to one that also considers the broader socioecological context. We argue that for business to prevent future pandemics and assure future prosperity, business must recognize the limits to growth, alternative temporalities that do not pit the short against the long term, the nestedness of local phenomena in global systems, and leverage points that can reduce entrenched systems of social inequalities.
