Sustainability research paper published by FEMA senior academic and international colleagues selected and published in new specialist edited volume aligned with United Nations’ 2030 SDG Agenda

The research and journal publication published last year by Dr Nathaniel Massa from the Department of Management, and his research colleagues Dr Valeska Geldres-Weiss from the Universidad de la Frontera, Chile; Dr Nicolás Gambetta from the Universidad ORT Uruguay, Uruguay; and Dr Skania Geldres-Weiss from the Universidad de La Serena, Chile – entitled ‘Materiality Matrix Use in Aligning and Determining a Firm’s Sustainable Business Model Archetype and Triple Bottom Line Impact on Stakeholders’ – has been selected and published in a new specialist edited volume aligned with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

This new edited volume is entitled “Business Models and Sustainable Development Goals”. It presents five research studies that examine transformative business models designed to support achievable sustainable development:

“Every organization—from start-ups, small and medium size enterprises, multinationals, social enterprises, hybrids, cooperatives, non-profits to NGOs and government agencies—has a business model. It reflects management’s explicit or implicit hypotheses on why and how the organization functions. The business model is the engine that powers an organization, defining the value proposition of the venture, how it balances resources with the ecosystem where it operates, how it generates cash flow and creates value. Changes to an organization’s business model are recognized as a fundamental approach to implementing innovations for sustainability.”
