| Year | 2011 |

| Abstract | Purpose - This paper seeks to provide an Aristotelian alternative to the neo-classical paradigm for the development of sustainable business research and a preliminary explanation of how to implement the assumptions on the shopfloor. Design/methodology/approach - The paper presents a conceptual exploration and comparison of sustainable business, Aristotle's view of society and intra-societal relations, and the neo-classical model. Findings - The paper shows how sustainable business research is supported by elements of the Aristotelian model and how this is not the case with the neo-classical paradigm. Practical implications for corporate governance strategies are detailed. Originality/value - This paper shows how Aristotelian philosophy may provide a rationale for the normative claims of sustainable business research. |
