Abstract

Ecocentric management has grown in interest in business sustainability research, driven by recent debates on sustainability-as-flourishing and novel nature-based business approaches. While relevant and promising, examination and explanations remain anchored in conventional dualistic thinking and piecemeal logics. In this article, we seek to understand what conditions or combination of conditions enable the formation of ecocentrism in business management. Drawing on deep ecology and ecocentric philosophy, we develop a conceptual framework for ecocentric management, comprising ecological sensing, envisioning, and enacting. Leveraging this framework and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, we map the responses of 160 small business owners and managers in Chile. Our analyses reveal three configurations of conditions, forming a typology of ecocentric management: Market Reformist, Legitimated Decouplist, and Self-Centered Activist. The article offers a new conceptual apparatus and systemic characterization of ecocentrism in business sustainability. It shows what matters and when for the formation of ecocentric thinking and decision-making in management.

改革派、解耦派和积极分子:生态中心管理的类型学
以生态为中心的管理对商业可持续性研究越来越感兴趣,这是由于最近关于可持续性作为一种繁荣和新颖的基于自然的商业方法的辩论。尽管相关且有前景,但审查和解释仍以传统的二元思维和零碎逻辑为基础。在这篇文章中,我们试图了解是什么条件或条件的组合使企业管理中的生态中心主义得以形成。借鉴深层生态学和生态中心哲学,我们为生态中心管理制定了一个概念框架,包括生态感知、设想和实施。利用这一框架和模糊集定性比较分析,我们绘制了智利160家小企业主和经理的反应图。我们的分析揭示了三种条件配置,形成了以生态为中心的管理类型:市场改革者、合法的去重叠主义者和以自我为中心的活动家。本文为企业可持续发展中的生态中心主义提供了一个新的概念框架和系统表征。它展示了在管理中形成以生态为中心的思维和决策的重要性和时间。
