La sostenibilidad organizacional es un tema indispensable en la administración de las empresas y organizaciones actuales. En un mundo con una clara sobreexplotación de los recursos naturales en el que cada vez más voces claman por la toma de conciencia del impacto de los modelos de producción y consumo, el término «sostenibilidad» aparece reiteradamente. Ya se trate de empresas que reparten dividendos o de organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro, los consumidores y los ciudadanos reivindican productos y servicios que tengan un menor impacto negativo en el medio ambiente, al tiempo que garanticen buenas condiciones laborales en todas las fases del proceso de producción y aseguren una mejor redistribución de la riqueza. Paralelamente, cada vez más organismos institucionales e independientes emiten sellos que certifican esa forma de operar compatible con el mantenimiento de las mejores condiciones posibles, ahora y en el futuro, a la vez que las organizaciones y las empresas se enfrentan a la necesidad de adaptar sus modelos de producción y comercialización a estos requisitos. Por lo tanto, la sostenibilidad organizacional es un modelo de negocio, una forma de gestionar las empresas, que tiene en su punto de mira el impacto conjunto de su actividad sobre las tres dimensiones: ambiental, social y económica, y en toda la cadena de valor y a largo plazo. La publicación de esta obra surge de la necesidad de proporcionar a los profesionales del ámbito de la economía y de la empresa un manual en el que se aborden de forma integral y conjunta las áreas fundamentales de la gestión de las organizaciones y de las empresas. A lo largo de seis capítulos se define el concepto, sus orígenes y su relación con otros términos, se expone la caracterización del cuarto sector de la economía y su importancia en relación con la sostenibilidad organizacional y se analizan las funciones de producción, marketing, dirección del personal (recursos humanos) y finanzas con numerosos ejemplos (cont.)

A través del libro “La Sostenibilidad de las Organizaciones Sociales” deseo compartir los conocimientos y la experiencia adquirida con relación a los esfuerzos y a todo el despliegue estratégico de tipo gerencial, técnico y financiero que ha venido realizando la organización en la que trabajo desde hace más de 30 años, con el propósito de alcanzar su sostenibilidad. De esta forma es un libro construido con base en una experiencia concreta de desarrollo organizacional en aras de la sostenibilidad sustentada por la visión, la misión, los objetivos y la filosofía institucional. Al compartirla, deseo sensibilizarlos(as) y motivarlos(as) con relación a la importancia que tiene para nuestras organizaciones y para el contexto social en donde se desenvuelven, la importancia que debería representar la búsqueda de la sostenibilidad institucional. Los primeros requisitos que exige dicha búsqueda, son la identificación, el amor y la conciencia que tienen por la organización, de su trabajo y de los logros que obtiene, requisitos que son indispensables para que se forje y se arraigue en Ustedes, el propósito de hacer el esfuerzo necesario para asegurar la continuidad y la permanencia de su organización, el cual finalmente es el fin último de la sostenibilidad institucional.

There is no bigger challenge for organizational change management in the contemporary world than achieving greater sustainability. The challenges associated with sustainable development are multifaceted, including criteria pertaining to the delivery of environmental, social, ethical and economic results. Creating sustainable value requires companies to address issues that relate to pollution and waste, created by industrialization; to respond in a transparent manner to the challenges increasingly raised by the civil society, namely NGOs; to invest in emerging technologies that provide innovative solutions to many of today’s environmental problems; and to effectively respond to the challenges of increased poverty and inequality around the globe. On the other hand, to create shareholder value, managers must focus not only on cost reduction and risk control, but also on fostering innovation, enhancing corporate reputation within external stakeholders, and establishing a credible growth path for the future. The current global financial crisis has left few untouched: unprecedented unemployment figures, public deficits, bankruptcies, redundancies, austerity regimes, and governments bailing out banks all over the globe. World confidence is at a record low. How can management scholars encounter solutions for the dilemmas created by this scenario of change in which they can manage to change sustainably? This book provides some answers to these pressing questions. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Change Management.

The book presents a new type of leadership focused on sustainable human development and organizational sustainability, which is based on the self-realization of the person of the leader, which means the satisfaction of their needs, according to the scale of Abraham Maslow, through integral human development in all aspects of life. Because the term "leader" appears to refer to anyone with the authority to confer a position with subordinates, the reality within organizations has shown that a leader must go further and demonstrate commitment, awareness, and concern for the common good. Which person has these characteristics? People who have had more opportunity to develop in different areas of their being, resulting in them being conceived as more educated. The qualities in a person are the basis of leadership. Education and practice are much more important than all hereditary and genetic codes. This volume explores the various ways of making explicit the dimensions of social, economic, and environmental sustainability through knowledge management that addresses the identification, collection, processing, circulation, use, exchange, and preservation of knowledge within operating systems and the context of organizations, considering issues that contribute to sustainability – human and organizational – where the leader is the main actor and the means is knowledge management.

Since this classic book was first published in 2003, sustainability has increasingly become mainstream business for leading corporations, whilst the topic itself has also been a hotly debated political issue across the globe. The sustainability phase models originally discussed in the book have become more relevant with ever more examples of organizations at later stages in the development of corporate sustainability. Bringing together global issues of ecological sustainability, strategic human resource management, organizational change, corporate social responsibility, leadership and community renewal, this new edition of the book further develops its unified approach to corporate sustainability and its plan of action to bring about corporate change. It integrates new research and brings illustrative case studies up to date to reflect how new approaches affect change and leadership. For the first time, a new positive model of a future sustainable world is included - strengthened by references to the global financial crisis, burgeoning world population numbers and the rise of China. With new case studies including BP's Gulf oil spill and Tokyo Electric Company's nuclear reactor disaster, this new edition will again be core reading for students and researchers of sustainability and business, organizational change and corporate social responsibility.
