In this special issue of Current Topics in Management, we want to consider organizational sustainability in its broadest sense. We seek articles that address all aspects and current challenges to organizational leadership and management processes deriving from the need to sustain in time organizations at various scales, including networks of private and public sector organizations operating around the globe. We are also seeking case studies, research notes, and book reviews.
The sustainability of organizations has both internal and external dimensions, dynamics, and concerns related to the social-ecological systems within which they operate and on which they depend. They include effects of globalization, population trends, climate change, natural resources, technology, workforce education, regulatory environments, and international conflicts that impact the ability of organizations to attain objectives over extended time periods. Researchers and international organizations around the world have begun to explore organizational consequences of these challenges as well as novel ways to meet them.
CTM’s special issue seeks articles that address all aspects of organizational sustainability, including, but not limited to:
• The contributions and impact of international organizations (e.g., the United Nations) and global initiatives to organizational management;
• Best sustainable practices and pitfalls of various managerial approaches with respect to the social and ecological environments and to resource bases;
• Performance measures for assessing and monitoring sustainable managerial practices;
• Managerial political and ethical considerations related to sustainability and to environmental justice concerns;
• Theoretical concepts, principles and tools (e.g., market failures, the commons and other social dilemmas, the precautionary principle, robust decision making, scenario building) and their applicability to sustainable managerial practices.
Submission process: Articles must be prepared according to the Style Guide of the American Psychological Association and should be in the range of 25-35 pages and should be submitted as attached files in Word to Sanda Kaufman by June 15, 2015. The case studies and research notes should be in the range of 10-15 pages and book reviews in the range of 3-5 pages.
