Abstract

The buzzword digitalisation has become an integral part of any scientific and political discussion about the future of business. Digitalisation brings opportunities, but also major challenges. For example, it can only be organised in a humane way if it complies with the principles of sustainable management.
The focus article by Michael Müller, Holger Rogall and Peter Hennicke presents the memorandum "Our responsibility for a sustainable society - For a socio-ecological transformation towards a sustainable economy". The yearbook is then divided into four recurring themes. In the spirit of the publication series, the contributions are not limited to the focal topic, but extend the view to current research contributions that are dealt with by members of the Sustainable Economy Network. The central trends of the global challenges of the 21st century are then outlined.
