Sustainable business models
Presentation
With at starting point in economic theory my research interest has revolved around the dynamics of interactions between economic agents. This let me to "invent" agent-based economics in the early 90s as an alternative method for microfounding macroeconomics.
At UCN my research has concentrated on sustainability from a historical as well as an economic-theoretical perspective with a purpose of understanding and identifying "unsustainability". This has led me to a conceptual model called "Doing Good Business" where sustainability is found in the interplay between value creation, governance and behavior.
