The sustainable transformation of the economy and society confronts business, politics, and academia with far-reaching challenges. Companies and entrepreneurship play a vital role in this process: they define the production processes of the future, which include environmental impacts, economic working conditions, and social cohesion. For this reason, they should take responsibility for driving sustainable innovation and transforming production processes and services accordingly. This transformation is closely intertwined with the ongoing digital transformation, resulting in a twin transformation that reshapes markets, organizations, and forms of value creation. At the same time, companies increasingly face additional geopolitical challenges caused by international conflicts, political instability, demographic shifts, and growing competition for scarce resources. Business administration is therefore challenged to create the future by providing new answers to questions of corporate responsibility and exploring the opportunities and limitations that companies face in achieving the goal of a sustainable economy, considering technical, natural science, and ethical dimensions.
