Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Interconnecting the concepts of sustainability, innovation and societal transformation, this book explains how organizations have successfully transformed themselves and wider society to foster a more sustainable future, and also identifies the difficulties and challenges along the way. Part of the Principle of Responsible Management Education (PRME) series, the book promotes a strong voice for meeting sustainability challenges in a globalized world through management education. A transition to a more sustainable way of doing business can only be attained by combining technology with profound system innovations and lifestyle changes. The chapters in the book, each written by a strong and well-recognised team of researchers in the field, open up the discussion about a new partnership between innovation and transformation that includes the global society (big world), the biosphere (small planet), and also requires a deep mind-shift. The book presents cases from business (including Ikea and Eataly) and other service networks, and illustrates how these organizations have transformed themselves for a sustainable future. The research perspectives are macro (policies, legislation), meso (institutional practices) and micro (business practices and individual behavior). The book is intended as a conceptual framing of transformation, innovation, and sustainability for educators, researchers, students and business, and also includes real-world case studies for business practice"--
