Sustainability Innovation Cube – A Framework To Evaluate Sustainability of Product Innovations

The Relationship Between Sustainability Practices and Innovation Strategies:the Effect of the Clusterization Inthe Bop Segment

“…Economic performance integrates what has come to be understood as an increment that generates social benefits (HALL et al, 2014), although there are several opinions about how only economic improvement does not necessarily imply social progress (VIZEU et al, 2012). Within this distinctive perspective, of the economic growth as a driving force for development, there is an understanding that with minimal use of environmental resources, with their recomposition, effective improvements in society as a whole also occurs (HANSEN et al, 2009;SAVITZ et al, 2007;HILKE, et all..2010). Based on the search for a new theoretical framework for the understanding of contemporary phenomena, an understanding of reality has emerged in which the perspective of sustainability practices joins the need for innovations (LÉON-SORIANO et al, 2010;BLUNDEL, et all.,2010).…”

Business models for the circular economy: Opportunities and challenges

“…Business models for circularity (BMCs) can be considered a subset of this broader category. They explicitly link the business model to the product life‐cycle (Hansen, Grosse‐Dunker, & Reichwald, ) and are a vehicle to slow and/or close (additionally also narrowing) resource cycles (Bocken, Ritala, & Huotari, , Bocken, de Pauw, Bakker, & van der Grinten, ).…”

“…While the link between product life‐cycle management and business model innovation was established early on (e.g., Hansen, Grosse‐Dunker, & Reichwald, ), few studies on BMCs have been undertaken to date. Many of the works are of a conceptual nature, aimed at developing taxonomies or typologies (Bocken, de Pauw, Bakker, & van der Grinten, ; Lewandowski, ; Lüdeke‐Freund, Gold, & Bocken, ).…”

Sustainability-driven innovation and the Climate Savers' programme: experience of international companies in China

“…The 'Limits to growth' debate triggered in the 1970s led to a continuing stream of research and advocacy around these issues and there is an extensive literature to draw upon. (For examples, see Meadows et al, 1972;Hart, 1995Hart, , 1997Bradbury & Clair, 1999;Cowell et al, 1999;Phaal et al, 1999;Jansson et al, 2000;Senge & Carstedt, 2001;Paramanathan et al, 2004;Porter & Kramer, 2006;Tukker et al, 2008;Nidumolu et al, 2009;Hansen et al, 2009;(Cole, Freeman, Jahoda, & Pavitt, 1973).…”
