Special Issue: Greenovation: ADVANCING SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODELS IN EMERGING ECONOMIES

About the Special Issue
'The Management Dynamics' journal invites high-quality submissions for a special issue on the theme: "Greenovation: Advancing Sustainable Business Models in Emerging Economies”. The imperative for sustainable business transformation has intensified due to mounting global challenges, including climate change, environmental degradation, and the depletion of natural resources. Concurrently, technological advancements offer unprecedented opportunities for businesses to innovate while contributing to environmental and social objectives. This special issue focuses on the emerging concept of Greenovation - the strategic integration of eco-friendly initiatives with innovation to create sustainable value propositions. Greenovation captures the dual goals of advancing ecological stewardship and fostering business resilience. It enables businesses to minimize environmental impact while maintaining competitiveness, stakeholder trust, and alignment with global imperatives such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite increasing academic and practitioner interest, significant gaps remain in understanding how organizations in emerging economies can balance green transformation with growth, profitability, and technological dynamism. This special issue seeks to address these gaps by encouraging theoretical, empirical, and practiceoriented contributions.

Scope and Objectives
This Special Issue aims to foster multidisciplinary discussions at the intersection of sustainability, innovation, emerging technologies, and strategic management, especially contextualized for emerging market realities. We encourage submissions from scholars and practitioners in fields such as management, environmental studies, operations, supply chain, entrepreneurship, information systems, public policy, and economics.

  • Development and transformation of green business models in emerging markets
