Business models for sustainability and SMEs’ sustainability performance: a conceptual framework.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper explores the concept of business models for sustainability (BMfS). The emerging literature on sustainability points to it as a means by which SMEs may attain sustainability. The aim of this paper is to determine using extant literature the role of BMfS as well as its relationship with SME’s sustainability performance. Using the literature review approach, 39 scientific papers from good journals are examined. It is determined that 1. It is useful in achieving SME sustainability performance, 2. That theoretically, there is a relationship between the two constructs. To determine the specific conditions under which the relationship exists, two additional variables are introduced. These are market readiness as a moderator and business case drivers as mediators. The market readiness variable specifically highlights the important role that the market plays in accepting sustainability models being implemented by firms. The purpose of this is to determine if the market is ready to accommodate such changes and the costs associated with them. The business case drivers are also meant to motivate firms to proactively manage their sustainability efforts. These variables are put together to develop a conceptual framework and some propositions that would be tested empirically by the authors to determine its soundness. The paper finally concludes
