Safe and just operating spaces for regional social-ecological systems (2014, background): “Whiteman et al. (2012) argue that corporate sustainability should include the impact of companies on the planetary boundaries but, as they also state, there is a need to include collective targets at local/regional scales to avoid problem-shifting among actors and geographic regions.”
A Systematic Review of the Literature on Digital Transformation: Insights and Implications for Strategy and Organizational Change (2020, methodology): “As demonstrated by several role models that have followed this procedure for other topics and delivered substantial contributions to theory in management literature (e.g., Crossan and Apaydin, 2010; Whiteman et al., 2013), one way to achieve this is via a literature review (Post et al., 2020).”
Radical Innovation for Sustainability: The Power of Strategy and Open Innovation (2016, background): “Corporate sustainability has continuously risen on the business agenda as companies have sought to address the environmental and social problems towhich they are intrinsically entangled (Bansal and Hoffman, 2012; Hart andMilstein, 2003; Whiteman et al., 2013).”
Achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: An enabling role for accounting research (2017, background): “…conceptual frameworks have in common is that they consider systems dynamics and the nesting of impacts across spatial and temporal scales and seek to explain how change happens on multi-scales (see e.g. Starik and Rands (1995) and Whiteman et al. (2012) for related work outside of accounting).”
Tensions in Corporate Sustainability: Towards an Integrative Framework (2014, positive): “contribution of the firm to a more sustainable society at large (Whiteman et al. 2013), in the sense of contributing to a viable economy, a sustainable society and healthy ecosystems (Ayres 2008).”
Walking and Talking Corporate Social Responsibility: Implications of Firm Size and Organizational Cost (2016, neutral): “Meanwhile concerns proliferate that CSR initiatives have had only marginal positive impact on social and environmental conditions (Locke, 2013; Whiteman et al., 2013).”
Short on Time: Intertemporal Tensions in Business Sustainability (2015, background): “We show that business concerns are often more of a short-term nature, whereas societal concerns typically have longer time horizons, so that the two tensions are often confounded, and the business and society tension tends to dominate (Hart 1995, Shrivastava and Kennelly 2013, Whiteman et al. 2013).”
Responsible Innovation and the Innovation of Responsibility: Governing Sustainable Development in a Globalized World (2015, positive): “However, this capacity of business firms for self-regulation is not yet sufficiently recognized in current research, as research on innovation regulation to date argues predominantly for solutions on the governmental or intergovernmental level (Galaz et al. 2012; Reischl 2012; Whiteman et al. 2013).”
Decision theory in sustainable supply chain management: a literature review (2014, background): “…echoing the divide between firm-centric approaches to SSCM seen in Carter and Rogers (2008) and the society-centric approach discussed in Pagell and Shevchenko (2013), the wider critique of corporate sustainability in Whiteman et al. (2012) and of the role of civil society in Lepineux (2005).”
