The time has come for all business people to be accountable for the full impact of their business as they build their brand and grow their revenue in today’s changing business environment.

If you’re not agile in your business management approach then expect to be disrupted by new technology, new industry standards or even a global pandemic.  If you’re not acting responsibly and sustainably then expect to be called out by your customers, staff or broader community.  Failing to address the social and environmental aspects of your business alongside profitability – is a very real risk to the long term success of your business.

Jane Stewart and her colleague Dr Colin Hocking have written an update and now titled this academic article Adaptive Sustainability for Business in Times of Uncertainty and Hyper Disruption.

The Adaptive Sustainability business management approach was developed pre 2020 when businesses were being disrupted at slow burn, continuous rates and by multiple factors, including globalisation, the need for environmental repair and stakeholder activism, to name just a few. That volatile business context now pales into insignificance in these times of global pandemic, community lockdown and hyper business disruption. Adaptive Sustainability for business management is an innovative approach to business leadership that encourages a shift in mindset, so that organisations are able to adapt more readily to change, and foster development of new skillsets to address today’s complex challenges.

The official description states: This book offers up-to-date insights into the theory and practice of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability management. Gathering contributions by a team of international scholars, it shares perspectives from a variety of academic disciplines. Guided by the credo of achieving ‘Responsible Business for Uncertain Times and a Sustainable Future,’ the authors present their latest reflections on, and possible solutions for, sustainable and responsible business practices. All of the contributions presented here are critical, evidence-based and solution-oriented, making the book both practical and insightful reading for academics and practitioners alike. This book is available from Springer Publications.
