The project aims to explore the future for manufacturing in Australia in the context of sustainability. Concerned with the wider societal and planetary impacts of conducting business-as-usual, some innovative Australian manufacturers are reorienting their business towards social and environmental sustainability. The complexities involved in pursuing genuine sustainability call for shifts in the culture of manufacturing. This project plans to use qualitative research to explore the inner workings of 12 firms that are integrating different forms of sustainability into their core operations. It plans to develop business metrics and critical incident cases to unravel the negotiations involved in addressing social and environmental sustainability. In so doing, it expects to contribute to debates about the nature of enterprise in the 21st century.

该项目旨在探索可持续发展背景下澳大利亚制造业的未来。考虑到一切照旧的更广泛的社会和全球影响，一些创新的澳大利亚制造商正在重新定位他们的业务，以实现社会和环境的可持续发展。追求真正的可持续发展所涉及的复杂性要求改变制造业文化。该项目计划使用定性研究来探索12家公司的内部运作，这些公司正在将不同形式的可持续性整合到其核心业务中。它计划开发业务指标和关键事件案例，以解开解决社会和环境可持续性问题所涉及的谈判。通过这样做，它预计将为有关21世纪企业性质的辩论做出贡献。
