چکیده مقاله :
هدف: هدف پژوهش حاضر مروری بر دیدگاه‌های تئوریک و یکپارچه پیرامون پایداری کسبوکار است. روش: این پژوهش از نوع پژوهش‌های نظری- تحلیلی بوده و به روش توصیفی-تحلیلی انجام شده است. یافته‌ها: ابعاد عملکرد پایداری و ریسک مربوطه، چارچوب نظری پایداری، و استانداردهای پایداری عملیاتی، عملکرد و گزارش‌دهی ارائه شده در این پژوهش می‌تواند برای شرکت‌های جهانی و مدیریت آنها، سیاست‌گذاران و تنظیم‌کنندگان، سرمایه‌گذاران، مربیان و پژوهشگران مفید باشد. همه نظریه‌ها (ازجمله کارگزار/سهام‌دار، ذینفع، علامت‌دهی، نهادی، مشروعیت و نظارت) روی اقدامات کلیدی عملکرد پایداری مانند بهره‌وری عملیاتی، رضایت مشتری، مدیریت استعداد و نوآوری تمرکز می‌کنند و باید از عوامل داخلی استراتژی، مشخصات ریسک، نقاط قوت و ضعف، و فرهنگ سازمانی و نیز عوامل خارجی ازجمله شهرت، فناوری، جهانی شدن و بهره‌برداری از منابع طبیعی نیز استفاده نمایند. این نظریه‌ها و استانداردها به توضیح راهبردها و شیوه‌های مدیریت در ایجاد کارایی پایداری مالی برای ایجاد ارزش سهام و دستیابی به عملکرد پایداری اقتصادی غیر‌انتفاعی در حفاظت از منافع همه سهام‌داران کمک می‌کند. نتیجه‌گیری: این پژوهش تئوری‌ها، استانداردها، ارزیابی ریسک، گزارش‌دهی و بهترین شیوه‌های پایداری کسبوکار را شامل اقدامات حاکمیت شرکتی و اصلاحات برای کاهش تقارن اطلاعات بین مدیریت و تمام سهام‌داران و ایجاد ارزش ذینفعان مورد بررسی قرار داد. هدف ایجاد ارزش ذینفعان در پایداری کسبوکار ایجاد فرصت‌های تحقیقاتی برای بررسی عدم تقارن اطلاعات بین مدیریت و ذینفعان و حتی بین سهام‌داران می‌باشد.
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to review theoretical and integrated perspectives on business sustainability. Method: This research is a theoretical-analytical study conducted using the descriptive-analytical method. Findings: The dimensions of sustainability performance and related risks, the theoretical framework of sustainability, and operational sustainability standards, performance, and reporting presented in this research can be useful for global companies and their management, policymakers and regulators, investors, educators, and researchers. All theories (including agent/stakeholder, stakeholder, signaling, institutional, legitimacy, and monitoring) focus on key sustainability performance measures such as operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, talent management, and innovation. They should consider internal factors such as strategy, risk profile, strengths, weaknesses, and organizational culture, as well as external factors such as reputation, technology, globalization, and the exploitation of natural resources. These theories and standards help explain management strategies and practices in creating financial sustainability efficiency to create equity value and achieve non-profit economic sustainability performance in protecting the interests of all stakeholders. Conclusion: This research examined theories, standards, risk assessment, reporting, and best practices of business sustainability, including corporate governance measures and reforms to reduce information asymmetry between management and all stakeholders and create stakeholder value. The purpose of creating stakeholder value in business sustainability is to provide research opportunities to investigate information asymmetry between management and stakeholders, and even among shareholders.
