Abstract

Sustainability has become topical in the running of business enterprises and it is incumbent upon business managers to lead the formulation and implementation of strategies that ensure sustainability. Strategic managers play a critical role in developing sustainable business strategies for organisational survival and sustainability. This chapter adopts a systematic literature review, in evaluating the role of 21st century strategic managers in developing sustainable business strategies for organizational survival and sustainability; focusing on how managers can lead the formulation and implementation of relevant business strategies for sustainability. A total of 57 relevant articles from Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases were analysed through thematic and content analyses. The reviewed literature and analysis of findings from empirical evidence formed the basis for drawing conclusions, implications for theory, policy and practice and proffering relevant recommendations to academia, industry practitioners and policy makers.
