Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CSR (corporate social responsibility), strategic management, and sustainable development are crucial for modern businesses. CSR involves incorporating social and environmental concerns into business operations and fostering positive stakeholder relationships. Strategic management aligns these efforts with core business goals, creating sustainable competitive advantages. Integrating CSR with strategic management ensures that social and environmental efforts align with core business objectives, creating sustainable competitive advantages. Meanwhile, sustainable development ensures long-term growth by balancing economic, environmental, and social needs, and finally, education enhances knowledge and skills, empowering employees and communities. Together, these qualities and associated strategies enable businesses to grow responsibly, balancing profit with social good and environmental stewardship, ensuring resilience and long-term success.
When combined, CSR, strategic management, sustainable development, and education form a comprehensive framework for responsible business growth. These qualities and associated strategies enable businesses to strike a balance between profitability, social good, and environmental stewardship. By embracing this holistic approach, companies can ensure their resilience and long-term success in an increasingly interconnected and complex world.
This Special Issue aims to delve into the intricate relationship between CSR, managerial practices, and the promotion of sustainability in both business and everyday life. It seeks to explore the various ways in which businesses can integrate these principles to drive positive change, foster innovation, and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future. Through insightful research and case studies, this Special Issue will shed light on the best practices and emerging trends that can guide businesses in their journey towards responsible growth and sustainability.
