Sustainable strategic management: Toward flourishing circularity

Sustainable strategic management: Toward flourishing circularity Discover how Sustainable Strategic Management (SSM) enables flourishing circularity through enterprise-level transformation. Traditional sustainability strategies have failed to address our mounting global crises. With six planetary boundaries now breached and businesses consuming resources at 1.7 times Earth’s capacity, incremental improvements cannot match our challenges. SSM offers a revolutionary framework for transforming business into a regenerative force. Traditional strategic management, rooted in Porterian models and neoclassical economics, operates from a fundamentally flawed assumption: that the global economy is a static, closed system with unlimited resources and infinite growth potential. The Five Forces Model analyzes competitive dynamics through narrow industry boundaries, while the Value Chain Model examines internal processes - both treating nature and society as mere externalities rather than the foundation of all business activity.
