In the last decade, paradox thinking has gained increasing scholarly interest in sustainability research. This workshop explores the paradoxes arising from the complex interplay of stakeholder demands and their impact on business models for sustainability. We will delve into the challenges and research opportunities that arise when organisations attempt to balance competing and dynamic interests and achieve long-term sustainability. The workshop will address some of the following themes: (a) Stakeholder paradoxes linked to the design and implementation of business models for sustainability; (b) Spatial and temporal tensions among stakeholders involved in business models for sustainability; (c) Response strategies for balancing stakeholder paradoxes linked to sustainability; and (d) Best practices in creating, delivering and capturing value for all stakeholders in sustainable business models. The workshop will mainly consist of group discussions on topics proposed by expert panellists. Participants can share their experiences and insights, learn, network with other researchers in the field, and develop actionable strategies for their research plan. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a deeper understanding of the topic. Attend the workshop to gain valuable insights into the latest research and trends in sustainable business, network with like-minded researchers from various institutions, develop your skills in navigating complex stakeholder relationships, or contribute to developing sustainable business practices. This workshop is ideal for academics and researchers, sustainability managers, business model innovators, strategy consultants and anyone interested in creating more sustainable and resilient organisations.
