Towards a Definition of Organizational Strong Sustainability - A Review of the Literature

I'm busy writing up my thesis right now: "Towards an Ontology and Canvas for Strongly Sustainable Business Models: A Systemic Design Science Exploration".
 

Based on my considerable progress over the past 3 months I've just added my second post to the blog of the Strongly Sustainable Business Model Group (SSBMG), an applied research group within OCADU’s Strategic Innovation Lab (sLab) that I helped to co-found.

This new blog post is about one part of the thesis: the literature review I’ve just completed that I hope will

• Provide a definition of organizational strong sustainability
• Identify design principles for the Strongly Sustainable Business Model Ontology and the Canvas it powers
• Contribute to the work to define a "gold standard" for organizational strong sustainability

In this blog post I explore how this literature review relates to:

• my Strongly Sustainable Business Model Ontology and the Canvas it "powers"
• the "Gold Standard" for organizational strong sustainability, and
• the SSBMToolkit which integrates these together to achieve the goal of the SSBMG

If you'd like a copy of this literature review please contact me.

I look forward to responding to your comments on the SSBMG blog... now back to writing!
