The notion of sustainability has enjoyed popularity in recent decades. In essence, sustainable efforts are those that firms undertake to capture and create social value thereby reducing their environmental footprint. This often is undertaken in combination with the capturing and creation of economic value. Overlapping frameworks and notions include creating shared value (Porter and Kramer, 2011, Pfitzer et al., 2013), corporate social entrepreneurship (Austin et al., 2006), corporate social innovation (Kanter, 1999), and, more broadly, strategic corporate social responsibility (Husted and Allen, 2007; McElhaney, 2009). Sustainable actions relate to addressing new responses to societal challenges, which affect social interactions and have implications for a wide range of stakeholders. Consequently, many initiatives in this field build on cross-sector collaboration. Civil society, business, and the public sector have different structural logics, and it is thus evident that measures and controls of success are different. The field of measuring and controlling sustainability is in the making. The overall objective of this edited text ('research anthology') is to provide a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge theories and research that will further the development and advancement of measuring and controlling sustainable efforts in theory and managerial practice. The anthology fills gaps in the literature by integrating theoretical, conceptual, methodological, and empirical chapters.
