Strategies for Sustainable Growth in Modern Organizations

Organizations today are navigating challenging contexts by tinkering with structures, supply chains, technology and by adopting new ways of working. Management practices are being recalibrated on the go to develop modern, new age organizations that can better deliver on the required speed and agility. Crises, disruptions, wicked problems have become a part of the business landscape. Interconnectedness and fragility are becoming trademark features of business challenges and organizations are working rapidly to respond to these challenges with solutions that are sustainable, acceptable to multiple stakeholders, value based and technology oriented. Leaders are seen to employ myriad strategies in these challenging environments in a bid to pursue sustainable growth.

A deeper investigation of these strategies is required by management researchers in a bid to uncover and explore novel phenomena, significant variables of interest as also theoretical frameworks that throw light on the new business models and ways of working. Researchers today therefore are tasked with realigning their research agendas and methodologies to offer conclusions that enable sensemaking of modern organizations and their growth strategies amidst complex organizational environments. Given the context of emerging trends, new age practices and wide-spread application of emerging technologies in the world of business, this book offers a research based perspective of effective solutions to common problems that modern, new age organizations face.
