Looking for novel approaches and solutions, many managers are turning to bioinspiration and related fields such as biomimicry, nature-inspired innovation, circular economy, and cradle to cradle, as tools for sustainability-oriented innovation.

This book aims to exhibit the applications of business inspired by nature that extend beyond the boundaries of the organization and encourage open innovation with novel partners in unlikely scenarios, with all partners aligned by the principles of natural systems. 410 0$aPrinciples for responsible management education collection. 606 $aSustainability 606 $aIndustrial ecology 606 $aBusiness enterprises$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aIndustrial ecology. 615 0$aBusiness enterprises$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a658.408 700 $aMead$b Taryn$01616475 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811064703321 996 $aBioinspiration in business and management$93947189 997 $aUNINA
