- Business Sustainability Model Summary The challenges of sustainable development are considered by contemporary managers to be one of the decisive forces affecting the manner of thinking, acting, managing and competing in the short-term and long-term perspectives. Many management theoreticians view business sustainability as the superior management concept or even as a new paradigm in management sciences. However, the review of the management literature proves that there is no explicitness in the understanding of the notion of business sustainability. The aim of the monograph was to construct a multi-dimensional concept of business sustainability and to verify it empirically. In the monograph a theoretical proposal of the multi-dimensional concept of business sustainability was formulated. A thorough and critical analysis of several dozen studies defining business sustainability (and sustainable business) showed that it is a complex notion, integrating many, often contradictory, aspects. The participation of a business in sustainable development became a key criterion for formulating the gradable, multi-dimensional concept, finally defined as the business”s commitment and activity for the benefit of contributing to sustainable development. The dimensions of business sustainability were identified. Five dimensions were distinguished in reference to sustainable development dimensions, but they were explicitly defined as the dimensions of business sustainability. They are as follows: the sustainable value (with reference to the economic dimension), the social orientation, the environmental orientation, the temporal orientation and the spatial scope. The analysis of the relationships among the aforementioned dimensions of business sustainability (also the tensions and contradictions among them) formed the basis for distinguishing additional dimensions. These are: the integrated cognitive logic, business sustainability management and the holistic-altruistic axiology. The proposed concept was the basis for the hypothetical multi-dimensional model of business sustainability. The extensive empirical research were carried out to verify the hypothetical model of business sustainability. In total, 694 businesses were examined. Among them were 391 businesses functioning in Poland and 303 in Denmark. Those businesses were different in terms of their industries, sizes and ownership forms. The research was carried out by means of the survey method. The primary method of statistical analysis was the confirmatory factor analysis. As a result of the research, the two-factor concept of business sustainability was formulated which considers the scope of the business”s commitments and the activities performed for the benefit of contributing to sustainable development and the mechanisms integrating this commitment and activities. The research results prove the strong interdependence of both factors. The empirical verification provides the basis for speaking about a certain continuum of business sustainability: from instrumental to holistic approach. Moreover, the relationship between business sustainability and organizational performance were investigated.
