The volume integrates three theoretical themes, linking ecological and human systems, critiquing multinational corporate expansion via circular economy and natural resource-based views, and proposing a multi-stakeholder ecosystems framework with structural alignment of value propositions. It also addresses the UN SDGs through critical and empirical examination, while presenting management practice cases and conclude with implications for strategy research and international

MANAGEMENTAND SUSTAINABILITYTRANSITIONS  \nTHEORY AND PRACTICE  \nEdited byMichael W.Zhang  \nROUTLEDGE  \nStrategic Management andSustainability Transitions  \nThe subject of sustainability transitions has,in the past decade or so,becomean established research field for academics,policy makers,and practitionersalike.Conceptual and theoretical developments in the field have graduallyadvanced from the perspectives of socio-technical systems and businessmodels.Scholars contend that it is the interactions of the networks of actors,technologies,and institutions that drive transition processes towardsustainability.In this volume,we further advance this line of inquiry witha special reference to strategic management of sustainability transitions,inboth theory and practice.In theoretical development,we have selected threechapters to encompass the themes of (1)the interactions between ecologicalsystems and human systems;(2)a critique on the continuous expansion oflarge multinational companies and their strategic control of key resourceinputs through the lenses of circular economy and natural resource-basedview;and (3)a multi-stakeholder ecosystems framework for the managementof sustainability transitions with structural alignment of focal valuepropositions.The United Nations'Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)are critically addressed and empirically examined.It will become an essentialreader and a reference book for researchers and postgraduate studentsinterested in strategic management,international business,innovationstudies,consumer behavior,and public administration.  \nMichael W.Zhang is Reader(Associate Professor)in International Strategyat the Nottingham Business School,Nottingham Trent University,UK.  \nRoutledge Research in Strategic Management  \nThis series explores,develops and critiques the numerous models andframeworks designed to assist in strategic decision making in internal andexternal environments.It publishes scholarly research in all methodologiesand perspectives that comprise the discipline,and welcomes diverse multi-disciplinary research methods,including qualitative and quantitativestudies,and conceptual and computational models.It also welcomes thepractical application of the strategic management process to a businessworld inspired by new economic paradigms.  \n5.Ambidextrous
