MIT SMR unveils sustainability collaboration

MIT Sloan Management Review and the Boston Consulting Group announced the launch of a multi-year collaboration that will "explore emerging thinking on sustainability and its implications for business strategy and organization."

The collaboration is titled, "The Sustainability Initiative: A Collaboration to Make Business Sense of Sustainability."

MIT Sloan Management Review, which is also referred to as MIT SMR, is a web site and print magazine published at the MIT Sloan School of Management. The mission of MIT SMR is to "host the conversation about the future of management practice among thinkers, professors, and managers."

The Boston Consulting Group is a management consulting firm with 66 offices in 38 countries.

MIT SMR editor-in-chief Michael Hopkins said in a statement: "The vital need for society to address its environmental, economic, and social challenges will end up transforming the ways we all work, live, and compete. It will have extraordinary implications for organizations and the people who lead them -- work processes, organizational models, competitive strategies, and leadership methods are all going to be affected. But how? And why? And in what specific ways? That's what we'll explore."
