Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in the business sector, considering three emerging and defining dimensions: sustainability, responsibility and digitalization. The research scope is to explore the complex and dynamic relationships between sustainable management, responsible business practices and digital transformation. This exploration is hoped to result in a new conceptual framework development, namely a theoretical foundation explaining the evolving interdependences and synergies between the concepts, mainly elucidating how sustainable management is influenced by responsible business practices and digital transformation, including the challenging contribution of artificial intelligence. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a holistic understanding of the latest advancements in business, developing frameworks and models effective for the present business environment and fit for the future evolution of the field. Considering recent research on the evolution of business practices, the proposed area of study might contribute to identifying sustainable and effective approaches to fit the latest developments, to better understanding modern transformations and the design of policy recommendations fitting the new framework, and mostly to determining new systems of thought to illustrate the processes of sustainable development in the context of digital transformation and responsible systemic behavior.
