Abstract
Organisations operate within evolving market logics and purposes connecting with dimensions of corporate responsibility, sustainability practices, and related community and societal connections. Such market conditions and events catalyse the development of new and innovative market and business arrangements. In this chapter, we raise lines of inquiry that affect organisations, markets and their ecosystems. We highlight the fact that many companies are concerned with the development of market offers that are responsible towards individuals, society and environment. In parallel, stakeholders challenge current dynamics calling for new market practices. Organisations and stakeholders intertwine in a continuous articulated search for quality of life and well-being for current and future generations. The chapter introduces these market and environment dynamics, and follows with a brief presentation of the book’s content.
