Abstract:

Bakgrund: Den tilltagande oron för vår planets välmående har medfört ett ökat samhällsfokus på hållbar utveckling. Det är av vikt att företag engagerar sig i hållbar utveckling delvis eftersom de orsakar många hållbarhetsrelaterade problem, och delvis eftersom de har de resurser som krävs för att lösa problemen. För att påverka hållbar utveckling behöver företag driva fram hållbara innovationer för att förändra deras produkter, processer och affärsmodeller. Forskningsfältet gällande hållbara innovationer är dock i en initial uppbyggnadsfas, och därmed behövs fler studier. Framförallt är forskn
