Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Systems is focused on decision-making in sustainable business models. This research area is focused on today’s problems in sustainable business, which can bring new ideas into the future.
Sustainable business models are dynamic. In a social system, their actors and their relationships are constantly evolving and changing. Since a business model can be understood as a system, its sustainability must be constantly monitored, adapted according to current conditions, and, ideally, improved. Correct management decisions are, therefore, critically important; they fundamentally affect the functioning of these systems. Modeling or creating simulations is very beneficial for a proper understanding of the system functioning of business models.
Decision-making at the top corporate level is of strategic importance; its result is the real sustainability and competitiveness of the given business. The problem with these management decisions is precisely the lack of data and the lack of simulations, modeling, research, and analysis. Correct decisions, which are based on an analytical approach, will make it possible to achieve a sustainable business model and thus create a functioning sustainable system.
