DESCRIPTION
Balancing continued economic progress and conservation of our biosphere is the challenge of our time. It’s a dilemma of the anthropocene epoch. Without corporation to the mix, our endeavor is fruitless. Increasingly, corporations have adopted prescriptive, piecemeal and mechanistic environmental management techniques as a response to sustainability discourse. However, in light of the complexity, uncertainty, ambiguity and dynamic nature inherent in the sustainability challenge, at some bifurcation point in the organizational change process, these prescriptive and piecemeal solutions may not adequately account for the emerging multiple levels of environmental, social and financial conflict. A paradigm shift is thus essential: a behavioral change is thus called for. This presentation provides an explanation to the issue and a formulation to tackle challenge head-on: a behavioral competence that builds viable, equitable and responsible corporation resolving issues of sustainable business and sustainable world.

Our Common Future

We have a Problem to Solve…..
and a Choice to make
either Accept the world….the way forward
and improve upon…
Or, end it and rebuild…
What is your Choice??
“Earth is one but the world is not…” Brundtland Report
(WCED, 1989)
one Biosphere to depend on…
yet we regard little..
…our survival…
….our consumption…
….our prosperity…
It’s our worldview, our belief system….
..our intellectual dogma and our perspective..
is the root of our differences…
…..a self-fulfilling prophecy…..
that hinders progress ..
(Merton, 1948)
uncontrollable Discord is pointless
…needs an integrative purview…
(Singh, 1993; Nath & Kazashka-Hristozova, 2005; Muniapan & Dass, 2008)
Grand Unity of Cosmic Order: an
“interconnected human and natural system”
..a realization about..
..a conception of harmonious whole…
a behavioral competence that bring together human and natural system
it is human Spirit..
..that creates hope
wisdom, ingenuity & brilliance
..hope of better future
it’s our quest for progress..
that entwined human & natural system
anthropocene epoch…
…a dilemma of
without this integrative and organic worldview
…we are predestined for high entropy
…without Sustainable Corporation to the mix
..balancing economic progress and conservation of biosphere is incomplete
…a fruitless endeavor otherwise
Get the picture..
only 200 top corporations’ revenue is bigger than combined GDP of entire world excluding top 10 GDP.. (Anderson & Cavanagh, 2000)
Society Corporation
World Nations
Biosphere
Behavior that a corporation exhibits impacts Our World…….our common survival
the good, the bad and the ugly…
outcome at our own behest…
developing endogenous quality is not easy, yet it’s a simple solution to complex issues
it starts with cultural intervention
a proactive and creative response
an enduring epitome
a measurable approach.. a formulation ….
that builds capability within to meet multiple stakeholders’ needs & demands
a postulation that bring together human values and institution..
“OCBS” (Organizational Citizenship Behavior towards Sustainability)
(Chowdhury, 2011)
a behavioral competence model developed from Prof Denis Organ’s OCB (Organizational Citizenship Behavior)
(Organ, 1988; Organ, 1990; Organ, 1997; Organ, Podsahoff & MacKenzie, 2006)
a fundamental framework that builds Viable, Equitable and Responsible corporation
a discernible latent construct
a universally applicable behavioral attribution
a connotation for
Sustainable Business & Sustainable World
