Building Sustainable Value Amid Global Uncertainty

 Overview

In recent years, the global economic and business environment has undergone rapid and continuous change as a result of economic uncertainty, technological advancement, and increasing attention to environmental and social issues. These changes have required organizations to review their operational practices and strategic directions in order to respond to stakeholder expectations and maintain long-term competitiveness. Such developments are consistent with the global development framework established by the United Nations through the Sustainable Development Goals (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: UN SDGs), which emphasize a balanced approach to economic growth, social responsibility, and environmental conservation.

Under this global framework, organizations are increasingly expected to align their strategies with the UN SDGs. Consequently, sustainability has evolved from a concept of corporate social responsibility into an essential element of organizational strategy and long-term competitiveness. In a business environment characterized by uncertainty, economic volatility, rapid technological change, and diverse stakeholder pressures, organizations must integrate sustainability into strategic planning, management processes, and competitive decision-making. This integration supports sustainable economic growth (SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth) and organizational development driven by innovation and appropriate infrastructure (SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure).

Currently, organizations face a range of complex challenges, including climate change, resource scarcity, increasing expectations related to ethics and corporate governance, the transition toward a digital economy, and changes in consumer behavior that place greater emphasis on environmentally and socially responsible products and services. Addressing these challenges requires strategic thinking, business model development, and sustainable organizational management, rather than reliance on operational improvements alone. Nevertheless, sustainability practices continue to vary across organizational contexts, depending on factors such as financial and resource availability, technological readiness, governance structures, supply chain management capabilities, and the level of stakeholder engagement. These factors influence the effectiveness of sustainability initiatives and the long-term competitiveness of organizations.

Therefore, the Journal for Strategy and Enterprise Competitiveness invites scholars, researchers, and interested contributors to submit original research articles that examine the role of sustainability in enhancing organizational strategy, operational performance, and enterprise competitiveness. Submissions may include empirical studies, theoretical analyses, or case studies that provide strategic insights and clear practical or policy implications at the organizational, industry, and international levels. This Call for Papers aims to promote academic knowledge and practical understanding of strategy, sustainability, and enterprise competitiveness in the long term.
