Recenzii
"This book offers a timely and comprehensive selection of topics for anyone who cares about making progress on societal challenges. The carefully curated chapters offer deep insights into how to organize for and around sustainable development. A must read for students and researchers!"
- Johanna Mair, PhD, Professor of Organization, Strategy and Leadership, Hertie School of Governance, Berlin, Distinguished Fellow at the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society, Co-Director of the Global Innovation for Impact Lab
"Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals requires a collective human effort with a key role for all kinds of different organizations, each playing their part. This book provides a unique insight into how various forms of for-profit and non-profit ways of organizing have emerged to help address grand challenges such as global poverty and climate change. It brings together so far disconnected theoretical perspectives and applies their insights to insightful cases related to sustainable development. The book forms a great starting point for much-needed, more impactful management and organization research."
- Jonatan Pinkse, PhD, Professor of Strategy, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship, Executive Director of the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research (MIoIR), Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester
"It is high time to go back to the fundamental question of purpose for today’s organizations: are they truly working towards a more sustainable future? This volume does just that by discussing topics such as the future of NGO management, the dynamics of inter-sectoral collaborations, and the continuous struggle of appropriately measuring social impact, to name just a few. The book brings academic research closer to overarching societal questions and highlights the need for more integrated work between research and practice in tackling grand challenges. It serves as an opportunity to reflect on our individual roles and that of our organizations to truly shape a more just and sustainable world."
- Alexandra Ioan, PhD, Head of the Ashoka Learning and Action Center
"This book brilliantly discusses organizational solutions for sustainability challenges. More than other books on grand challenges and sustainability, this one explicitly focuses on organizational, supra-organizational and intra-organizational practices and structures – from corporate social responsibility, hybrid organizing and base-of-the-pyramid innovation, to impact investing, multi-stakeholder arrangements and inter-organizational networks. I congratulate the authors on a very timely, relevant and well-developed contribution to our understanding of the organizational challenges and opportunities in shaping a more sustainable future."
- Stephan Manning, PhD, Professor of Strategy and Innovation, Co-Chair of Responsible Business Research Group, University of Sussex Business School
"This book builds on a strong assumption: Norms and values give shape to our organisations and to how we organise. New types of organisation and new ways of organising have emerged with the aim to create value for various stakeholders; important to study, but also to question. The authors in this book offer fresh views on hybridization, networks, and organising for positive impact. Insightful!"
- Florian Lüdeke-Freund, PhD, Chair for Corporate Sustainability, ESCP Business School, Berlin, Germany
"Organising for Sustainable Development: Addressing the Grand Challengesis exactly the book we need right now. With clarity and care, it sets out a compelling case for organisational change and how business can contribute to a just transition to inclusive growth. This is a powerful vision of a better way of doing things, and it shows us how we can organise to achieve it."
