Facing worldwide environmental and social concerns, manufacturing firms are trying to adopt effective environmentally friendly actions to mitigate their environmental impacts. Although the existent literature has provided many insights about the drivers of sustainable product innovation, little is known about the impact of firm growth. Thus, we intend to contribute to this gap in the literature by examining the impact that firm growth can have on sustainable product innovation. To achieve this goal, the partial least square (PLS) modeling technique was used to analyze a dataset of 3250 manufacturing firms from 39 different countries. The results reveal that firm growth exerts a positive effect on sustainable product innovation and that the relationship is partially mediated by the adoption of environmental practices. The findings also indicate that managerial barriers lessen the effectiveness of the adoption of environmental practices in facilitating the development of sustainable product innovation, while improving labor conditions increases it. However, operational barriers do not exert a significant moderating effect between the adoption of environmental practices and sustainable product innovation. These results prompt interesting insights related to theory development in environmental management and sustainable product innovation research.

The demand for innovative approaches applied to productive sectors is a reality present in the circular economy and open innovation is a relatively new concept that has revolutionized the literature about innovation management. Since the concept appeared in 2003, many articles have focused on its development and application. Although some studies have connected open innovation with sustainability, the relevance of this current on the global literature about open innovation is still unidentified. In this context, this paper tries to cover this gap with a bibliometric analysis focused on the evolution of the open innovation paradigm and the relevance of sustainability in this field of research. A sample of 3087 papers published between 2003 and 2019 in the Scopus database was obtained. The analysis revealed the main topics and the most prolific journals, authors, institutions, and countries, in terms of productivity, citations, and h-indexes. Besides of these contributions, keywords analysis reveals that, in recent years, sustainability and ecosystems are decisive variables in open innovation research.

Global alliances have traditionally been related to improvements in the economic and operational performances of companies, particularly in the airline industry. However, we still do not know the effect of the participation in this kind of multilateral agreement on the environmental performance of airlines. The main aim of this work is to analyze whether the alliance membership of airlines has an effect upon their environmental performance, and if so, whether or not the characteristics of the global alliance, as well as the business model of the airline, may influence this relation to a greater or lesser extent. The results of regression and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in a sample of 252 airlines (58 included in one of the three global alliances: Star Alliance, Oneworld, and SkyTeam) show a strong and inverse relationship between environmental performance and belonging to an alliance. The paper also shows empirical evidence of the influence of the business model of the airline on environmental performance. These results suggest important implications for managers facing challenges regarding sustainability.

The planet is changing and consumption patterns appear to be one of the main causes. The Earth has physical limits and eternal growth is basically not possible. In this context the economic theory of degrowth arises to change present consumption and production habits in order to ensure the survival of our planet and its inhabitants. Sustainability is a very important concept in the operations management field nowadays. In this chapter, we will contribute to this field discussing areas where degrowth is present explaining the important contributions of the stakeholder theory to reach a more sustainable supply chain, contributing to the achievement of SDGs. With this, we aim to highlight the influence that stakeholder pressures have when making supply chain management decisions to achieve a higher sustainability level in the firm, and ultimately, in the whole system.

The earth and the natural world have physical limits. Thus, industries or firm systems operating on this planet have limits as well. Infinite growth is intrinsically impossible. Some firms have integrated these principles into their management methods while struggling to survive in a traditional competitive environment with short‐term economic constraints. This paper explores the managerial practices that help firm systems address these paradoxical tensions of being responsible for the environment and having a long‐term degrowth orientation while also successfully competing in traditional capitalistic markets. Using a social system approach, the paper applies functional differentiation focusing on the internal aspects of the management of the firm. The paper highlights that the role of each subsystem can be crucial for integrating the survival of the firm system and the natural system's limits. Each subsystem has a potential effect on the natural system that can be analysed and managed in a specific way.

Sustainability is a complex problem affecting multiple firms, groups, and communities, and environmental solutions need to be developed in collaboration with the industry's most relevant stakeholders.Focusing on the aviation industry, we analyze the process of generating shared knowledge from an embeddedness perspective, proposing that firms are embedded in both society and markets through networks of relationships that influence their behaviour and sustainability outcomes.This paper proposes a collaborative framework that includes academic, institutional, and company levels to improve aviation using three different tools – stakeholder engagement, alliances, and open innovation. Finally, the paper includes recommendations oriented to face the more relevant environmental issues using this approach. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment
