How can research contribute to the implementation of sustainable development goals? An interpretive review of SDG literature in management
通过分析九份从业者指南，提炼出优先化、情境化、合作与创新四个过程，并以此框架对2010-2020年管理学中高被引的可持续发展文献进行解释性综述，为SDG采纳提供更科学的流程模型。
Abstract Organizations often face challenges in incorporating the sustainable development goals (SDGs) into their strategic agendas. Despite the availability of guidelines from leading practitioners, such guidance often lacks the scientific insights provided by academia. In this study, we examine the integration of scholarly management literature into practical guidelines for achieving the SDGs. To do so, we first examined nine practitioner guidelines offered by well‐reputed consulting firms, multilateral organizations and non‐profits, from which we identified four underlying general processes: prioritizing SDGs to the most relevant strategic goals of firms, contextualizing the SDGs to firms’ geographical and industrial contexts, collaborating with other organizations and stakeholders to make more impactful progress and innovating via business process remodelling. Using these four processes as an overarching framework, we then conducted an interpretive literature review to mine highly cited sustainable development‐related papers in the management field covering an 11‐year period (2010–2020). From these studies, we derived novel connections to all four stages to offer a more robust and scientifically informed process‐based framework for SDG adoption. We discuss multiple scholarly implications, including the importance of enhancing knowledge about the various phases of the SDG adoption model, developing research on understudied SDGs, and expanding theoretical and methodological approaches to SDG research. Additionally, we provide a more grounded SDG adoption model with significant practical implications.
