Managing Sustainability Alliances: A Goal-Directed Framework
通过对瑞典八个可持续发展联盟的多案例研究,识别了联盟发展三个阶段的管理挑战与解决方案,并提出了一个分阶段框架,帮助企业主动应对挑战以实现目标。
To address climate change, firms are increasingly forming sustainability alliances. Pursuing sustainability via such alliances is challenging as it means working with multifaceted and not necessarily compatible goals. Moreover, it often requires collaboration among heterogeneous partners outside traditional industrial contexts as well as dealing with wicked problems. This article presents a multiple-case study of eight sustainability alliances in Sweden, identifying managerial challenges and solutions over three phases where such alliances unfold. It offers a framework, tailored to each phase, to help companies fulfill their goals by proactively addressing the challenges posed by the pursuit of sustainability through alliances.
