The Sustainability Platform together with the Department of IT Management is pleased to invite you to a seminar on: “A Transdisciplinary Exploratory Model of Corporate Responses to the Challenges of Environmental Sustainability”. The seminar with Professor Steve Elliot is part of the Renowned Scholars Seminar Series of the IT Management department.
Abstract:
Global surveys of chief executive officers have identified the environment as one of their major issues of concern, but uncertainties about how to address the challenges of environmental sustainability are cited as a significant inhibitor to business responses. Persistent levels of corporate uncertainty in this field of study may be due to the complexity of the issues and the difficulties in meaningfully capturing that complexity. Calls have been made for new ways to produce knowledge about complex societal challenges like environmental sustainability.
This seminar aims to reduce these business uncertainties and to promote business and research responses. Based on a field study of leading practice, a model is developed that explores the experiences of managers in a pioneering corporation. This study applies inductive logic in an emerging approach to producing knowledge explaining how the pioneering company came to be successful. The outcome is a transdisciplinary explanatory model of corporate responses that presents a progression of integrated activities and processes within eight categories of responses. This explanatory model has implications for research and practice.
