Abstract

Scarce resources and climate change require more sustainable production and consumption. Business Models for Sustainability (BMfS) can be crucial in achieving extended life cycles and a more conscious use of materials. Due to the high interdependence and interconnectedness of different BMfS compared with traditional business models, the application of conventional approaches for the design of BMfS is limited. Therefore, we show that a systemic perspective is required to achieve absolute sustainability that transcends the boundaries of a focal company. We then conduct a two-part systematic literature review focusing on existing approaches to support a systemic perspective in the design and analysis of BMfS first and modeling approaches second. Based on this review, we identify seven general approaches to achieve a more systemic perspective and six types of approaches to modeling BMfS. We further derive ten key findings and 36 requirements for a framework for the engineering of BMfS. Based on this, we introduce a System of Systems (SoS) perspective on BMfS to enable the required systemic perspective and propose a framework for the engineering of a system of BMfS (SoBMfS) providing a systematic multi-perspective, multi-level approach bridging micro-, meso-, and macro-level. Scholars and practitioners can use this framework to develop and integrate future tools and methods to support the development of BMfS.

可持续发展商业模式工程的回顾与框架:系统之系统的视角
资源稀缺和气候变化要求更具可持续性的生产和消费。可持续发展商业模式(BMfS)对于延长产品生命周期和更有意识地使用材料至关重要。与传统商业模式相比,不同的可持续商业模式之间具有高度的相互依存性和相互关联性,因此在设计可持续商业模式时,传统方法的应用受到了限制。因此,我们表明,要实现超越重点公司界限的绝对可持续发展,就必须从系统的角度出发。然后,我们分两部分进行了系统的文献综述,首先侧重于在设计和分析 BMfS 时支持系统视角的现有方法,其次是建模方法。在这一回顾的基础上,我们确定了实现更系统视角的七种一般方法和六种 BMfS 建模方法。我们还进一步得出了 10 项主要发现和 36 项要求,以建立一个 BMfS 工程框架。在此基础上,我们引入了系统的系统(SoS)视角,以实现所需的系统性视角,并提出了建筑智能化系统工程(SoBMfS)框架,提供了一种系统的多视角、多层次方法,在微观、中观和宏观层面之间架起了桥梁。学者和从业人员可以利用这一框架来开发和整合未来的工具和方法,以支持 BMfS 的发展。

期刊介绍: Sustainable production and consumption refers to the production and utilization of goods and services in a way that benefits society, is economically viable, and has minimal environmental impact throughout its entire lifespan. Our journal is dedicated to publishing top-notch interdisciplinary research and practical studies in this emerging field. We take a distinctive approach by examining the interplay between technology, consumption patterns, and policy to identify sustainable solutions for both production and consumption systems.
