Dear Colleagues,
In an era marked by pressing environmental concerns, social inequalities, and economic uncertainties, the role of organizations in fostering sustainable development has never been more critical. Simultaneously, the need for innovative, adaptable, and forward-thinking leadership approaches has become increasingly apparent. This Special Issue of Sustainability seeks to explore the dynamic interplay between sustainable organization management and entrepreneurial leadership, two concepts that are increasingly recognized as crucial for navigating the complex challenges of the 21st century.
We invite submissions that address a wide range of topics related to sustainable organization management and entrepreneurial leadership, including, but not limited to:
- Strategies for integrating sustainability principles into organizational management practices;
- The role of entrepreneurial leadership in driving sustainable innovation within organizations;
- Case studies of organizations successfully balancing sustainability goals with entrepreneurial growth;
- The impact of sustainable management practices on organizational performance and competitiveness;
- Developing and nurturing a culture of sustainability and entrepreneurship within organizations;
- The challenges and opportunities of implementing sustainable business models in various industries;
- The role of technology and digital transformation in enabling sustainable organization management;
- Measuring and reporting on sustainability performance in entrepreneurial ventures;
- The influence of stakeholder expectations on sustainable management practices and entrepreneurial decision-making;
- Education and skill development for sustainable entrepreneurship and leadership;
- Policy frameworks and governance structures that support sustainable organization management;
- The role of social entrepreneurship in addressing sustainability challenges;
- Sustainable supply chain management in entrepreneurial contexts;
- Financing strategies for sustainable ventures and initiatives;
- The intersection of circular economy principles with entrepreneurial leadership.
We welcome empirical research, theoretical papers, literature reviews, and case studies that contribute to our understanding of how organizations can effectively manage sustainability imperatives while fostering entrepreneurial spirit and innovation. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged, as are papers that offer practical insights for practitioners, policymakers, and educators in the fields of sustainability and entrepreneurship.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of how organizations are adapting their management practices to meet sustainability goals, the leadership approaches that are proving most effective in this context, and the innovative strategies being employed to create value while addressing environmental and social challenges. By bringing together diverse perspectives and research approaches, we hope to advance both theoretical understanding and practical knowledge in this critical and rapidly evolving field.
We look forward to your contributions to this important discourse on sustainable organization management and entrepreneurial leadership.
