ABSTRACT

Organizational awareness of sustainability and management of sustainable innovation contribute to a paradigm shift toward a sustainable society. Sustainable innovation managers are needed to apply new technological findings, to commercialize them, to create market niches, and to increase the scale of application. This volume explored and explained the management of individual, team-based, and cooperative sustainable innovation trajectories. This final chapter concludes which elements should be managed in an integrated manner and comprehensively integrated into a theoretical model. It concludes that environmentally sustainable innovation takes place at the interwoven and interdependent levels of individuals, teams, organizations, and business environmental circumstances.
