Including social and environmental concerns in decision-making processes and business operations is essential for organizations. Management control systems are crucial in integrating sustainability issues into decision-making processes. Thus, this study aims to analyze international publications about the relationship between management control systems and sustainability, identifying trends in evolution and future research opportunities. Based on bibliometric techniques, the outputs obtained in the Web of Science (n = 139) and Scopus (n = 73) databases were analyzed in the bibliometrix R package to map and systematically review the literature. After removing duplicates, we obtained a final output of 157 articles. The analysis of these publications draws attention to the relevance and emergence of these topics in academic and business circles and concludes that this area of knowledge has gained relevance in the last five years of research. The originality of this study lies in its ability to offer valuable insights that can shape future research agendas. By focusing specifically on how management control systems support or hinder sustainability initiatives, the study fills a gap in existing literature, which often treats these subjects separately. Future research can focus on the challenges of integrating sustainability into accounting frameworks and the role of technology in accounting for sustainability. The continuous study of these topics is essential to enable professionals and organizations to face contemporary challenges, ensure ethics and transparency, promote sustainability and responsibility, and ensure long-term success in a world increasingly aware of environmental and social issues.

“…For instance, in the field of sustainability research, scholars have aimed to understand specific dimensions such as how some sustainable practices are beneficial for the financial performance of businesses (Bartolacci et al, 2020). These include emerging conversations around business strategy practices (e.g., De Angelis et al, 2023), sustainable strategic management (P. K. Rao & Shukla, 2022), corporate sustainability (Camilleri et al, 2023) and supply chain strategies (Agrawal et al, 2022). These reviews add value.…”

Sustainability research is vast and complex, making it difficult to grasp the big picture. To help researchers understand the field better, we created a comprehensive knowledge map of sustainability in management literature by utilising citation‐based clustering and text mining techniques to analyse 25,737 sustainability‐related papers across 22 academic disciplines, as categorised by the Chartered Association of Business Schools (ABS)'s Academic Journal Guide. We identify 23 research streams, with the top three being corporate social responsibility, operations & supply chain and tourism. Each research stream has varying degrees of definition coverage, levels of analysis, levels of interdisciplinarity and connections to the 17 United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Goals #9, #10, #12 and #13 receive more attention than Goals #3, #14 and #15. Our findings suggest a need for more interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers, and we propose four research directions to achieve this.

“…SSM being a multidisciplinary domain, associates itself with the strategies that are sustainable from both the environmental and market perspectives (Parnell, 2008). Furthermore, with introduction of United Nations (UN) Sustainable development goals, various industries are now focusing on the creation of business through their sustainability-IJPPM 73,6 related activity (Baumgartner and Rauter, 2017;Rao and Shukla, 2022). However, manufacturing industry has received more attention as compared to the service industry: specifically, the banking industry that has a vital role in economy and sustainable development of the nation (Raut et al, 2017;Kumar and Prakash, 2019).…”

PurposeSustainable strategic management (SSM) is an integrated concept that entails sustainability in the approaches and processes of strategic management. Banking being a rapidly growing industry in service sector, it is reasonably important to study the SSM and its integrated performance. This paper aims to study the sustainable-strategic (SS) factors of Indian banks that affects their endurance and prioritizes the banks based on their sustainable and strategic performance.Design/methodology/approachThis study appertains a sustainable balanced scorecard (SBSC) framework to determine the SS factors and an integrated multicriteria decision making (MCDM) method to weigh the criteria and prioritize the banks' performance.FindingsThe criterion weightage signifies sustainability, followed by financial and internal business perspective to be a crucial dimension for the performance of banks. The banks, State Bank of India, HDFC Bank Ltd and Canara Bank are ranked top-most on the SS performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe insights from the study on SS factors and banks' performance can be further used by policy-makers and researchers to understand the sustainability assessing factors and focus on making policies and further studies to enhance the performance in this regard.Originality/valueBanking is one of the potentially growing industry in service sector. It being a major part of economy's sustainable growth, it is essential to assess the SS factors that enhance their sustainable performance. There is dearth of study in this purview, for developing countries like India. Thus, this study critically analyses the strategic sustainability of Indian banking industry to ascertain the SS factors and prioritize the performance of banks based on criterion weightage and bank's SS operations.
