“…In this sense, the inclusion of normative and descriptive components is proposed [131], in such a way that they contribute to redefining business conduct, as well as the principles and values with stakeholders [132]. Thus, it is expected that the effect produced in this research context will promote the study of business ethics not only as a tool for project management but also as an end in itself [133].…”

Nowadays the advance towards sustainability poses a global challenge for modern society as well as for companies. Professionals and academics continually redefine business processes and design management mechanisms in a more appropriate way in order to allow companies to balance economic activity with the environmental and social impact that they generate. Under this complex and dynamic scenario, creating a product, providing a service, or achieving a given result requires a different interpretation of the efficiency paradigm and an adequate socio-environmental intelligence. In the context of project management, sustainability-related knowledge, skills, and suitable tools are necessary to face this challenge. Moreover, its close relationship with stakeholder theory presents an alternative to approach that purpose. This article attempts a systematic review of the literature on stakeholder theory in project management during the past nine years, with the aim of providing a comprehensive view of this relationship, revealing its impact and influence on sustainability, and finding new research paths. We highlight the potential benefits derived from this relationship, either as an instrument for the promotion of corporate social responsibility and inclusive policies, as a means for the generation of shared value and technological innovation, or as a key factor in the strategy and business management of a given project.

“…Furthermore, as the next generations are at the core of the concept of sustainability (Arenas & Rodrigo, 2016), future research should not adopt a short-sighted view on environmental outcomes but rather pay special attention to medium- and long-term consequences. Although we are aware of the methodological challenges this type of research presents, we believe that scholars need to pursue more comparative longitudinal studies linking interactions to social and environmental outcomes.…”

Sustainable water management is a growing concern worldwide. Nonetheless, despite the existence of water-related reviews in the business literature, the contribution of organization and management studies to sustainability challenges remains unclear. As systemic approaches are necessary to tackle sustainability challenges, we use Elinor Ostrom’s social-ecological systems framework to assess whether and how the current management literature on water contributes to our understanding of sustainable water management. Our review shows that management research is still far from making a significant contribution to this field, because of limited knowledge accumulation and theoretical development, and the lack of integration of environmental factors within social science research generally. The social-ecological systems framework helps us identify future research opportunities that would feed more effectively into a multidisciplinary effort toward sustainable water management.

“…Al analizar la teoría de los stakeholders y el desafío sobre la responsabilidad social y ética en los negocios, llama la atención que algunos investigadores señalen a las generaciones futuras como un stakeholder definitivo para las empresas y que, por lo tanto, deban ser tenidas en cuenta. Así pues, estas deberían tomar parte como un stakeholder legítimo y moral por parte de las empresas (Jeurissen & Keijzers, 2004;Arenas & Rodrigo, 2016).…”

El objetivo del presente artículo es mostrar cómo se ha incorporado la ética en la teoría de los stakeholders, aportando elementos constructivos a la forma como se hacen los negocios en la actualidad. Los resultados se estructuran en dos secciones. Inicialmente se plasma un análisis conceptual de los stakeholders y la utilidad de su apuesta teórica; luego se enfatiza en la definición de los aportes realizados por la ética de los negocios a tal la teoría. El análisis realizado se basó en la revisión aplicada a las publicaciones consignadas en la base de datos Scopus teniendo en cuenta las palabras clave business ethic y stakeholders; entre los artículos arrojados solo se contemplaron los que incluyeran los criterios business, management and accounting y economics, econometrics and finance. La priorización se hizo a partir del número de publicaciones realizadas por los principales autores y el número de citaciones que tienen estos en la base de datos. En la revisión, se llega a la conclusión de que en la teoría de los stakeholders es fundamental el concepto de la ética basada en la confianza y la cooperación que debe existir entre la empresa o negocio y los stakeholders, así como la responsabilidad de la gerencia por reconocer quiénes son estos últimos y qué puede hacer por ellos desde sus prácticas empresariales.
