International Business and SDG 8: Exploring the Relationship between IB and Society by Noemi Sinkovics, Rudolf R. Sinkovics, Mehdi Boussebaa, Margaret FletcherEnglish | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 414 Pages | ISBN : 3031468015 | 18 MB
The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 aims to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. The twelve associated targets call for action in a number of interconnected domains that are of great relevance for global governance, international business, and international entrepreneurship. However, the Covid-19 pandemic and geopolitical issues such as war, the climate crisis and associated humanitarian catastrophes highlight just how fragile progress towards inclusive and sustainable growth is. Global disruptions in supply chains and an increase in national protectionism prompts questions whether global value chains should be shortened and re-localised to reduce risks.
