“…The automation system and the absence of middlemen ensure even more savings, which lead to low‐cost premiums. The financial sustainability of the business increases the accessibility of services, fostering inclusivity (Nußholz et al, 2020; Rotondo et al, 2019). The SBM built thanks to the blockchain allows people who could not afford an insurance policy before are now able to buy one.…”

“…SBMs can lead to better organizational economic, environmental, and social performance (Bacinello, Tontini, & Alberton, 2020; Evans et al, 2017; Franceschelli, Santoro, Giacosa, & Quaglia, 2019; Hall & Wagner, 2012; Lüdeke‐Freund, 2020). From a social perspective, SBMs may ensure the reduction of prices, allowing products and services to be affordable for a more significant number of people, fostering inclusivity (Nußholz, Rasmussen, Whalen, & Plepys, 2020; Rotondo, Corsi, & Giovanelli, 2019). This may be particularly relevant in developing or poor countries (Bardy, Massaro, & Rubens, 2013), not only to diffuse products and services to unwealthy people but also as a means to create self‐employment opportunities (Mahfuz Ashraf, Razzaque, Liaw, Ray, & Hasan, 2019).…”

The purpose of this article is to shed light on how the blockchain technology can lead to the creation of new sustainable business models (SBMs). The literature highlights the need to merge the sustainability perspective into business models, creating new SBMs. Using a case study methodology, the paper investigates how the blockchain can foster the creation of SBMs, thus exploring the following Research Question (RQ): How can blockchain facilitate the development of new SBM? The case represents an example of an SBM merging more theoretical definitions. The unique features of the blockchain foster inclusivity even in traditional sectors, allowing widespread distribution of the benefits for the community with a long‐term orientation. Consequently, our study provides systematized evidence of how the blockchain can foster financial and social sustainability. This manuscript adds to the state‐of‐the‐art literature on the application of emerging technologies to organizational sustainability by shedding light on real business case evidence.

“…A socially responsible company works to maximize its profits while addressing other concerns that arise from the firm's social and environmental impacts (Carroll, 2015). Social responsibility is an attribute of the company and does not always materialize in a CSR program (Nosratabadi et al, 2019;Rotondo et al, 2019). It is enough that the company adopts responsible behavior toward society to be recognized as a socially responsible company.…”

Corporate Social Responsibility and Justice in the Salary Structure: Practice or Symbolism?

Socially responsible companies should provide fair wages and maintain reasonable internal wage gaps as part of a commitment to workers as primary stakeholders of the organization. Our research seeks to clarify the influence of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) system on the salary level of unskilled workers and the magnitude of internal salary gaps between the highest and lowest levels of the organization. We used a sample of 815 companies that are representative of the Chilean business ecosystem and developed a linear regression model with endogenous treatment. Our results show that the declaration of a CSR program positively influences the wage level of unskilled workers but increases the magnitude of internal organizational wage gaps. These findings suggest a partial adherence of companies declaring CSR in terms of commitment to their employees.

“…In its early development stage, the concept of sustainable business models aimed at promoting the issue of sustainability and improving the economy towards more sustainability [21]. Nowadays, sustainable business models are increasingly considered to provide competitive advantages [22,23] and, as a consequence, organizations seek to innovate their business models towards sustainability [4,24]. This development has led to the emergence of different types of sustainable business models [16,25].…”

Social networking technologies such as social media, crowd concepts, or gamification represent key resources for the integration of customers, value network partners, and the community into sustainable business models. However, there is a lack of understanding of how sustainable enterprises apply such technologies. To close this gap, we propose a taxonomy of design options for social networking technologies in sustainable business models. Our taxonomy comprises eight dimensions that deal with relevant questions of the design of social networking technologies. When creating our taxonomy, we built on existing literature and use cases and involved experienced practitioners in the field of sustainable business models for the validation of our taxonomy. In this way, our study contributes to knowledge on the use of social networking technologies in sustainable business models and how such technologies influence the boundaries of sustainable business models. Likewise, we provide practical insights into the use of social networking technologies in sustainable business models.
