Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The pursuit of economic sustainability has become imperative in today’s volatile and uncertain global landscape. In an increasingly volatile global economy, firms face the challenge of aligning strategic decisions and financial policies with innovation-led growth and long-term value creation. The purpose of this Special Issue is to advance both scholarly and practical understanding of how organizations can achieve long-term sustainability by integrating strategic management with innovation dynamics in an era characterized by financial pressure and entrepreneurial transformation. By exploring the interplay between strategic management, innovation dynamics, and corporate finance, this Special Issue seeks to provide insights into how firms and policymakers can navigate volatility while fostering sustainable economic growth and resilience. This Special Issue welcomes theoretical, empirical and policy oriented contributions that address the following:
- Corporate finance and sustainability;
- ESG-driven investment strategies;
- Entrepreneurship and innovation dynamics;
- Integrative perspectives that connect finance, risk, and entrepreneurship in advancing sustainable business models.
Contributions should advance knowledge on frameworks, practices, and policies that enable firms to align financial resilience, strategic adaptation, and entrepreneurial innovation with broader sustainability goals.
Dr. Anca Elena Afloarei Nucu
