Epilogue

The chapters in this book were intended to help business leaders, strategy practitioners, and all corporate decision makers as well as students of management to improve their level of comprehension and concern of why sustainable strategizing is important in the twenty-first-century business world. While the book was finalized, civilization was confronted with fresh evidence of human sustainability issues particularly with regard to our most pressing global concern, climate change. In this epilogue, several developments are underscored which seem even more important since the chapters of this book were completed. This confirming evidence is re-emphasizing the need for corporate strategists to take “sustainability” seriously in their strategic sense-making and ideation processes and to develop impactful strategic business responses and actions. It is my hope that the ideas, management methods, and strategy practice examples presented in this book encourage and help current and future business leaders mastering this task through sustainable strategizing for positive impact toward a thriving future for both business and society.
