Sustainable Living and Business

What concrete contributions can social innovations make to the transition to forms of sustainable social living and economic activity? And what contributions can the social sciences make to achieve this? These questions are in the focus of this book. Thus, on the one hand, it is about specific social innovations that help us to achieve the goal of living and doing business sustainably, but on the other hand, it is also about the way in which the social sciences can be included in the social responsibility for the success of such socially innovative processes.
