The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) acknowledge the intricate and interconnected nature of societal and environmental challenges that governments and businesses face. To address these grand challenges effectively, a collaborative effort involving a diverse range of organizations and stakeholders from the public, private, and non-profit sectors is indispensable.

Organizing for Sustainable Development offers a comprehensive and comparative analysis of organizational initiatives aimed at addressing global societal issues and achieving sustainable development. Drawing upon extensive research conducted by an interdisciplinary board of authors and contributors, this book provides readers with a deep understanding of how existing businesses and innovative hybrid organizations can strive for sustainable development, leading to positive societal change.

By blending theoretical perspectives with empirical methodologies, the chapters in this book are highly relevant to graduate and undergraduate (multidisciplinary) programs in sustainable development, organization studies, development economics, development studies, international management, and social entrepreneurship.

The SDGs highlight the need for a holistic and integrated approach to addressing complex societal problems, recognizing that no single organization or stakeholder can achieve sustainable development alone. By fostering collaboration, sharing resources, and leveraging diverse expertise, organizations can create a collective impact that drives progress toward a more sustainable and equitable future.
