Abstract

This study explores how integrated management systems (IMS) as business tools relate to organisations’ capability of achieving sustainable development, and what knowledge gaps are still existing. Further, it discusses if IMS is only an antecedent of sustainability, or if there is a vice-versa relationship. Therefore, a systematic literature review (SLR) is performed to provide a summary of existing literature. In addition, an exploratory review adds to the discussion of a vice-versa relationship. The work reveals that the research topic is characterised by multiple constraints, thus demanding more in-detail studies. The proposed research agenda entails eight future research questions directed at unfolding models in practice, producing large-scale and cross-regional empirical analyses, exploring more IMS components, and investigating how IMS helps organisations to incorporate sustainability concepts at the economic level. An overview on the connections between IMS and sustainability has been absent in the literature in such detail. The work implicates that in practice managers should consider implementing IMS for fostering corporate sustainability, and in academia future research should be directed at the identified knowledge gaps. Thereby, the justification of a vice-versa relationship adds a new viewpoint to academics’ understanding of the topic and the formulated research agenda sets the path for future studies.

综合管理体系与可持续性-两者关系综述
本研究探讨了集成管理系统(IMS)作为商业工具如何与组织实现可持续发展的能力相关,以及仍然存在哪些知识差距。此外,本文还讨论了IMS是否只是可持续性的先决条件,或者是否存在相反的关系。因此,进行系统的文献综述(SLR),以提供现有文献的总结。此外,探索性回顾增加了反之关系的讨论。工作表明,研究课题具有多重约束的特点,因此需要更详细的研究。提出的研究议程包括八个未来的研究问题,旨在在实践中展开模型,产生大规模和跨区域的实证分析,探索更多的IMS组成部分,并调查IMS如何帮助组织在经济层面上整合可持续性概念。文献中没有如此详细地概述IMS与可持续性之间的联系。这项工作表明,在实践中,管理人员应该考虑实施IMS以促进公司的可持续性,而在学术界,未来的研究应该针对已确定的知识差距。因此,反向关系的论证为学者对该主题的理解提供了新的视角,制定的研究议程为未来的研究奠定了道路。

期刊介绍: Total Quality Management & Business Excellence is an international journal which sets out to stimulate thought and research in all aspects of total quality management and to provide a natural forum for discussion and dissemination of research results. The journal is designed to encourage interest in all matters relating to total quality management and is intended to appeal to both the academic and professional community working in this area. Total Quality Management & Business Excellence is the culture of an organization committed to customer satisfaction through continuous improvement. This culture varies both from one country to another and between different industries, but has certain essential principles which can be implemented to secure greater market share, increased profits and reduced costs. The journal provides up-to-date research, consultancy work and case studies right across the whole field including quality culture, quality strategy, quality systems, tools and techniques of total quality management and the implementation in both the manufacturing and service sectors. No topics relating to total quality management are excluded from consideration in order to develop business excellence.
