Purpose

This study aims to synthesize the body of sustainable value creation (SVC) research within sustainable business model literature through a systematic literature review.

Design/methodology/approach

A systematic literature review of 85 research articles of SVC through business models from 2011 to 2020.

Findings

The systematic literature review allowed the authors to identify five core SVC elements: value forms, stakeholders, temporal view, spatial view and tensions and conflicts. Moreover, a conceptual framework presenting the interrelationships of the SVC elements is proposed.

Practical implications

This study carries implications for practitioners in the form of guiding questions provided in the framework. Those questions help responsible managers to plan, identify and choose strategic sustainability actions and to develop companies’ business models aiming to lead to the creation of long-term sustainable value in different time frames and locations or different parts of the value network. Additionally, the framework guides managers to identify and manage potential tensions and conflicts which can otherwise hinder SVC.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first systematic literature review of SVC through business models with the conceptual development of SVC. The study synthesizes the fragmented literature to identify SVC elements and build basis for conceptualization of SVC through business models.

可持续价值创造框架：碎片化可持续商业模式文献的综合

目的

本研究旨在通过系统的文献综述，综合可持续商业模式文献中的可持续价值创造（SVC）研究主体。

设计/方法论/途径

对 2011 年至 2020 年 SVC 商业模式的 85 篇研究文章进行了系统的文献综述。

发现

通过系统的文献综述，作者确定了 SVC 的五个核心要素：价值形式、利益相关者、时间观、空间观以及紧张和冲突。此外，还提出了一个展示 SVC 要素相互关系的概念框架。

实际影响

这项研究以框架中提供的指导性问题的形式对从业者产生了影响。这些问题帮助负责任的管理者规划、确定和选择可持续发展战略行动，并开发公司的商业模式，旨在在不同的时间范围、地点或价值网络的不同部分创造长期可持续价值。此外，该框架还指导管理者识别和管理潜在的紧张局势和冲突，否则可能会阻碍 SVC。

原创性/价值

据作者所知，本研究是第一个通过商业模式和 SVC 概念发展对 SVC 进行系统文献综述。该研究综合了零散的文献，以确定 SVC 要素，并通过商业模式为 SVC 概念化奠定基础。
