In recent times, the world has faced environmental challenges like deforestation, Global warming, soil erosion, water pollution, air pollution, and water scarcity. In order to solve the stakeholder demands and challenges, business houses must find answers. Companies must incorporate sustainability into their operations and operate with an entrepreneurial attitude. Sustainably oriented business operations may help firms reduce negative environmental impacts while simultaneously creating shared benefits for themselves and society, called sustainable corporate entrepreneurship. Such entrepreneurial activity helps an organization to achieve sustainable development goals. This research analyses the importance of sustainable corporate entrepreneurship in attaining the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals in a developing country like India through a case study methodology. The study integrates several aspects of sustainable innovation concerning various areas of sustainable development goals. Further Implications, Limitations, and future research directions have been considered.

In recent years, various cities have continued to build urban landscapes with typical characteristics, but most of the urban landscape constructions are too similar. There is even a problem that the urban landscape is not recognised by the local people, and the same is true for the problem of ecological water governance. This article aims to study the sustainable innovation of urban landscape construction and ecological water environment governance process. To this end, this article proposes fuzzy comprehensive evaluation criteria and goals, through this evaluation system to evaluate the urban landscape construction and ecological water environment management process, and at the same time design experiments to investigate. The experimental results of this paper show that the evaluation system can help improve the urban landscape construction and ecological water environment management. At the same time, the analysis results show that under this evaluation system, urban residents’ satisfaction with the urban landscape has increased by 47 %. At the same time, the effect of water treatment has also been improved, with an improvement effect of 31 %. For the actual governance process, the effect is huge.

Background: Big data and predictive analytics could improve the ability to help with the sustainability of sourcing decisions. Sustainability has become a necessary goal for businesses and a powerful strategy for competitive advantage. There's a need for sustainable innovations along the supply chain to enable companies to have a strong market presence. Developing absorptive capacity both in firms and in supply chains are also integral to responding to dynamic markets and customer needs. The main objective of this paper is to identify the features of big data and predictive analytics applied to sustainable supply chain innovation, and to analyze the role of absorptive capacity. Methods: A literature review investigates how absorptive capacity affects the impact of the utilization of big data and predictive analytics on sustainable supply chain innovation. Results: This paper proposes a conceptual framework linking the different elements. It also proposes a synthesis of the existing definitions of the used concepts. In particular, the role of absorptive capacity as enabler on Big Data and Predictive Analytics on sustainable supply chain innovation is stressed. Conclusions: The paper investigates the emerging paradigm of big data and predictive analytics. The conceptual framework use theoretical foundation of absorptive capacity, and the extant literature on Big Data and predictive analytics. This framework will help us to build a research model for sustainable supply chain innovation applications. Further work is required to develop an action research methodology for validating the framework in depth within a company.

Wstęp: Zastosowanie analizy big data oraz estymacji umożliwiają lepsze zrównoważenie decyzji wykorzystania zasobów. Rozwój zrównoważony stał się niezbędnym celem biznesowym i potężną strategią uzyskania przewagi konkurencyjnej. Można zaobserwować rosnące zapotrzebowania na zrównoważone innowacje w obrębie łańcucha dostaw, umożliwiające przedsiębiorstwom silny wpływ na rynek. Rozwój zdolności absorpcyjnej zarówno w firmach jak i w łańcuchach dostaw jest zintegrowane z potrzebami konsumentów oraz dynamicznych rynków. Głównym celem tej pracy było zidentyfikowanie cech analizy big data oraz estymacji istotnych dla zrównoważonych innowacji w obrębie łańcucha dostaw oraz analiza roli zdolności absorpcyjnej. Metody: Podstawą pracy był przegląd literatury, umożliwiający analizę wpływu zdolności absorpcyjnych na zastosowanie analizy big data oraz estymacji dla osiągnięcia zrównoważonej innowacyjności w obrębie łańcucha dostaw. Wyniki: Zaproponowano koncepcję rozwiązania łączącą różne elementy. Zaproponowano również syntezę istniejących definicji stosowanych koncepcji. W szczególności, rolę zdolności absorpcyjnych jako elementu umożliwiającego stosowanie analizy big data oraz estymacji dla zrównoważonej innowacyjności w obrębie łańcucha dostaw. Wnioski: W pracy badano pojawiający się paradygmat analizy big data oraz estymacji. Koncepcja oparta jest na zastosowaniu zdolności absorpcyjnej oraz istniejących danych literaturowych i ich wpływu na analizę big data. Praca pomaga zbudować model badawczy dla zrównoważonych innowacji w obrębie łańcucha dostaw. Zwrócono uwagę na potrzebę kontynuowania badań w tym zakresie.

This article presents new concepts and practical approaches resulting from the piloting of CASI-F – a common framework for the assessment and management of sustainable innovation (SI). Based on lessons learned from action research carried out in the context of the EU funded CASI project, the article focuses on the meta-analysis of 46 action roadmaps produced with 43 innovators supporting the practical application of CASI-F. The applied methodology helped to demonstrate that a multi-level and multi-actor advice approach promotes a shift towards improved understanding of innovations-related critical issues (barriers, drivers, opportunities and threats) and stakeholders’ relations, as well as their management, thus promoting the sustainable resilience and transformation of socio-technical systems. This paper first reflects on how we arrived to managerial lessons from the actions roadmaps and how could these lessons be used to assess the current state of affairs and potential way forward for European initiatives and instruments promoting sustainable innovation.
