Conceptualising post‐growth to advance corporate sustainability research: A comparative literature review
这篇比较文献综述探讨了后增长文献如何与以生态为中心的企业可持续性研究对齐、扩展或挑战，发现两者虽共享生态现实主义基础，但在政治经济含义上存在显著分歧，并提出了未来研究方向。
Abstract This comparative literature review explores how an expanding body of interdisciplinary post‐growth literature aligns, extends or challenges ecocentric Corporate Sustainability ( e CS) research in management (i.e., rooted in systems thinking, emphasising planetary boundaries, ecological limits and embeddedness). From a sample of e CS literature, we inductively extracted four recurring theoretical dimensions: Place, Resources, Scale and Time. We then systematically compared how e CS research and post‐growth scholarship approach these dimensions. Our results suggest that although the two literatures share the same intellectual foundations grounded in ecological realism (i.e., natural science insights about biophysical limits and their implications for human organising), they diverge significantly in that the post‐growth literature has drawn out the political–economic implications of such ecological realism more explicitly than e CS (e.g., challenging neoclassical economic principles; paying more attention to the requisites for political and structural change; and embracing experimentation with alternative organising). We elaborate on the implications of such divergences, from which we propose future research directions towards post‐growth‐oriented CS, that is, a synthesis that combines e CS's engagement with firm‐level organising and post‐growth's institutional, political and economic critique of growth imperatives.
