Abstract

In Österreich stellen Klein- und Mittelbetriebe eine wichtige Wirtschaftskraft dar. In der Diskussion rund um Nachhaltigkeit und deren Umsetzung auf unternehmerischer Ebene stehen jedoch Großunternehmen im Mittelpunkt. Diese Studie beschreibt die Entstehung und Entwicklung nachhaltigkeitsbezogener Strategien in ausgewählten Kleinund Mittelbetrieben (KMU) der Druckbranche. Infolge wird die Verankerung der Strategie in den KMU, die Einbindung der Anspruchsgruppen in den Strategieprozess und die Bedeutung der Managementprozesse zur Steuerung der KMU in Bezug auf nachhaltige Entwicklung dargestellt. In den beschriebenen KMU kommt dem normativen Management eine hohe Bedeutung zu. Die Verankerung von Wertvorstellungen in der Kultur des Unternehmens trägt zur Festlegung der Entwicklungsrichtung bei. Einzelne Maßnahmen ergeben sich schrittweise. In einem Teil der untersuchten KMU entwickelte sich dabei ein systematischer Strategieprozess mit dem Fokus auf nachhaltigkeitsbezogene Aspekte. Aus den Ergebnissen lassen sich Empfehlungen für die Praxis und für die Gestaltung weiterer Forschungen ableiten. / Small and medium sized enterprises (SME) companies in Austria represent an important economic power. However, the debate on corporate sustainability has been focusing mainly on big corporations. This study describes the generation and development of sustainability related strategies in selected SMEs in the printing sector in Austria. Furthermore, this paper illustrates processes important for strategy implementation and the interactions between the company and its relevant stakeholders. In the selected SMEs, a high relevance of the normative management process was recognized. Values and culture are important for orientation and influence the further development of the company. Actions emerge on step-by-step basis. Some of the analyzed SMEs developed a systematic strategy process with the focus on social and environmental issues. From the results of the study, recommendations can be drawn for practical use in SMEs active in the printing sector and related areas, as well as for the design of further research.
