| Abstract: | To seek justification for sustainability (hereafter as: sust.) strategies within organizations, the notion of a 'business case' for corporate sust. has increasingly been used by the corporate sector etc. This paper aims to systemize and to assess existing research and tools related to this concept. Presented is a review of 1. theoretical frameworks, 2. instrumental studies, 3. descriptive studies, and finally 4. tools. Identified is a clearly insufficient understanding of manager's key arguments or business logic for adopting corporate sust. strategies. |
