Sustainable development, intellectual capital and technology policies: A structured literature review and future research agenda

Digital Business Model, Digital Transformation, Digital Entrepreneurship: Is There A Sustainable “Digital”?

“…Business models need to be analyzed as to their future readiness and sustainability impact, as both economic and environmental sustainability are an intertwined challenge for businesses that cannot be tackled in isolation [68,69]. In doing so, "digital" plays a vital role in contributing towards the goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, where economic and environmental issues are at the heart of solving the challenges of the future [70]. For firms to be able to navigate these complex challenges, transforming their existing business models into Digital Business Models, with short-and long-term effects for resource allocation and reduced resource utilization towards a circular economy, becomes paramount for sustainable market activities [69,71].…”

Crypto‐economy and new sustainable business models: Reflections and projections using a case study analysis

“…The literature shows great interest in understanding the sustainability drivers, as means toward a more sustainable‐oriented state (Lozano, 2015; Peralta, Carrillo‐Hermosilla, & Crescente, 2019), and a stimulus for corporate entrepreneurship (Mahfuz Ashraf et al, 2019; Morrish, Miles, & Polonsky, 2011). The recent introduction of UN's 17 SDGs has pushed organizations even more to the need to merge sustainability into their businesses (Poddar, Narula, & Zutshi, 2019; Presch, Dal Mas, Piccolo, Sinik, & Cobianchi, 2020; Rosati & Faria, 2019; Secundo, Ndou, Del Vecchio, & De Pascale, 2020; Tsalis, Malamateniou, Koulouriotis, & Nikolaou, 2020).

“…Hence, for sustainable development projects to be achieved successfully, there should be an advancement in three main spheres that are economic, social, and environmental (Ciegis et al, 2011). Secundo, Ndou, Vecchio, and De Pascale (2020) have pointed out that sustainable development framework embraces a wide variety economic, social and environmental issues, involving energy, climate change, biodiversity, gender, equality, peace, security, healthcare, education, food supply, economic growth and sustainable consumption and production. They have added that the main goal of sustainable development projects is to find effective solutions for complex challenges such as climate change, energy, pollution, ecosystem resilience, migration, food security, and many other issues that require a cross-disciplinary perspective (Secundo et al, 2020).…”
