This work investigates the incorporation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into business models (BM) associated to Building Environment (BEs) in order to promote sustainable development, innovation, and resilient infrastructure. Through an analysis of business models released from 2016 to 2019, we explore the integration of important Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as affordable, green energy (SDG 7), sustainable growth (SDG 8), industrialization and innovation (SDG 9), and resilient cities (SDG 11) into the operational and strategic frameworks of various business designs. Evidence from case studies conducted in different nations demonstrates how business models may be modified to include sustainable practices and frameworks motivated by values. Furthermore, this text presents guidelines for integrating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into upcoming Blue Models (BMs), emphasizing their significance in circular economies, green energy projects, and socially inclusive urban development. This paper provides important information to the stakeholders in the constructed environment as the legislators, developers, and academics who would wish to align their business agendas with the global sustainability goals. The research evidence suggests that business models associated with the SDGs allow for the management of modern sustainability challenges together with encouraging innovation and economic growth.

PurposeThis paper proposes an evaluation approach for analyzing excellence management practices at a regional level based on experts’ assessment.Design/methodology/approachUsing the National Quality Foundation’s Management Excellence Model (MEG), 19 management excellence practices were identified and tailored for small- and medium-sized industries (SMIs). Data were collected through a survey with 25 experts who assessed these practices in the context of Brazilian manufacturing SMIs. The analysis utilized Fuzzy TOPSIS Class (FTC), and a sensitivity analysis was also conducted.FindingsThe proposed evaluation approach integrates a reference model for management excellence (MEG), an analysis method incorporating uncertainty (FTC), and results that enable decision-makers to make well-informed choices. Of the 19 practices assessed, 15 were classified as “unacceptable,” while four were rated as “regular,” and none as “expected.” Key challenges relate to practices in information security, knowledge, innovation and change management.Research limitations/implicationsThe study’s primary limitation is the use of non-probabilistic sampling and its focus on the Brazilian context. However, the extensive knowledge and experience of the experts in manufacturing SMIs and the need for studies addressing specific regional contexts should be noted.Practical implicationsThe findings reveal a significant gap between ideal management practices and the actual state of SMIs, especially in emerging markets.Originality/valueThis research introduces a novel approach that combines a reference model tailored for SMIs with a multicriteria decision-making method, offering valuable insights for decision-makers and guiding future research.

This study investigates artificial intelligence and how it can be leveraged upon in order to re-engineer existing business models, towards achieving sustainable development goals. The study analysed factors necessary to ensure an artificial intelligence assisted sustainable business model innovation to provide a framework for businesses in emerging economies. A systematic literature review of existing literature is undertaken using the Scopus database. Filtering processes are employed to arrive at 94 journal articles. The study adopts the PRISMA protocol to allow a comprehensive disclosure of the review process. The review process resulted in the development of thematic areas which provided a framework that guided the study. Case studies were also undertaken, analysed in a qualitative manner in order to capture the perceptions and experiences as well as the problems associated with leveraging artificial intelligence in sustainable business model innovation. The research output includes recommendation and policy implication.
