The Drivers, Challenges and Pathways using New Zealand, the Tertiary Education Sector and Tertiary Education Organisations as a Case Study of SBMI.
Ever thought about how sustainability can transform your business model? Delving into the heart of Sustainable Business Model Innovation (SBMI), my research uncovers a world within the New Zealand's Tertiary Education Sector, where tertiary education doesn't merely disseminate knowledge but pioneers innovating the business model for sustainability.
The burning question: Why, amidst a world echoing the need for sustainability, is there a chasm between pioneering sustainable ideas and implementing them in our institutions, and in business? How can we bridge this gap faster, better, stronger?
Through candid semi-structured interviews with the top minds in New Zealand’s Tertiary Education Sector and a thorough exploration of secondary data, I've unearthed six vital themes that shape the SBMI landscape and several influencing factors. Ranging from the crucial role of existing sustainability awareness to the compelling external forces driving change, my findings are both enlightening and thought-provoking.
It's a narrative of challenges and triumphs. Dive in to grasp how factors like cultural values, strategic frameworks, technological innovations, and even government policies weave the intricate tapestry of sustainability in the business models of New Zealand's Tertiary Education Sector and select Tertiary Education Organisations.
This isn't just another study; it's a beacon for educational institutions worldwide. If you've ever been curious about the marriage of education, business model innovation and sustainability, especially in a setting as unique as New Zealand, my findings are a must-read.
