Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to describing and analyzing the unique attributes of corporate life. The articles to be published may focus on recent changes in corporate structures and styles, particularly those resulting from the privatization of communal and corporate organizations. Kibbutzim and other cooperative communities have been undergoing lifestyle transformations; it would be interesting to explore the processes of renovation in these places.
These transformations have given rise to new organizational forms, including hybrid configurations. Examining the structures of these renewed hybrid organizations would be valuable, as they aim to provide their members with pathways to sustainability, growth, and success. Additionally, this Special Issue seeks to explore how cooperative businesses and industries survive in capitalistic environments and to identify the mechanisms that enable communities and enterprises to adapt and remain sustainable.
This Special Issue aims to examine practices and methods that offer insights into new ways of coping with challenging and competitive markets in both global and local contexts, with a focus on ensuring sustainability.
Submissions may address the cultural, structural, economic, geographical, and political aspects of these renewed communities and corporate entities. Furthermore, explorations of the livelihoods within these communities or organizations would be of interest.
Our goal is to define and quantify sustainability, as well as to develop tools, applications, policies, and legal frameworks to measure and monitor it effectively.
