Building Sustainable Organizations in China

Author

Abstract
As China shifts its development model from focusing on economic growth at all
costs to a model in which economic growth is balanced with solving pressing societal and
environmental problems, there is an increasing need for management research on building
sustainable organizations in China. This collection of papers focuses attention on the role
of business in promoting sustainable economic development, highlighting a number of key
processes including: the factors that foster transparency and CSR reporting, how
stakeholders can influence corporations to abandon their CSR commitments, the benefits
of environmental branding and labeling, and the antecedents and performance
consequences of proactive environmental strategies. In this introductory essay we reflect
on recent trends in sustainability research in China, and to encourage this important
movement, provide recommendations for future research directions.
