Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of innovative paradigms of sustainable business management is a fundamental concern in the context of interdisciplinary research and advanced engineering. The growing interest in applying these paradigms to various industrial sectors—from manufacturing and energy to transportation and trade—requires the development of effective strategies that support the implementation of innovative and sustainable solutions. The goal of these solutions is to create business models that are not only economically viable but also environmentally and socially responsible to integrate the principles of sustainability into production and consumption processes. A determining factor in the development of these strategies is the need to reduce the negative impact of the environment and optimize resources through solutions that support long-term economic development.
In the context of an increasingly advanced industrial revolution, which emphasizes the need for sustainable business management, these paradigms are important for building resilient, responsible, and innovative organizations, capable of responding to contemporary economic and ecological challenges. There is a significant emphasis on integrating transdisciplinary approaches that support not only economic development, but also the integration of social and environmental values within a sustainable framework.
This Special Issue invites researchers to contribute original articles and reviews that explore fundamental concepts and applied solutions in the field of Sustainable Business Management, as well as the complex challenges associated with their implementation. We also encourage studies that answer the following questions: How can innovative sustainable business management strategies be developed and implemented? What are the most effective sustainable business models to support long-term development? How do emerging technologies and digitalization influence sustainable business management? What are the benefits that companies can obtain by integrating sustainable behavior into their business strategy?
