Book excerpt: The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were set with a target date of 2030, and they represent our collective endeavors for a more sustainable future. However, seven years since their introduction, international business scholars have yet to fully comprehend their potential to lead these goals. This critical gap raises a pressing question: why has the academic community not fully harnessed its power to advance the SDGs? Amid an abundance of scholarly publications on ethics and responsible governance, corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainable development, and environmental concerns, the spotlight has dimmed on the pivotal role that international business can play in this transformative agenda. Smart Strategies and Societal Solutions for Sustainable International Business solves this issue with chapters developed specifically for academic scholars. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to unleash the untapped potential of international business in promoting the SDGs. Covering a wide range of disciplines, from information sciences to sociology and environmental studies, it equips scholars with the knowledge and tools they need to push sustainable international business to the forefront of the global agenda. With a meticulous exploration of crucial topics such as corporate governance, digital transformation, environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and more, this book offers a blueprint for academic scholars to spearhead the charge toward a more sustainable and equitable world.
