Innovation-Driven Business and Sustainability in the Tropics

This volume explores the intersection of innovation and sustainability in the Tropics, addressing the challenges posed by climate change and rapid development. Innovation-Driven Business and Sustainability in the Tropics offers valuable insights.

This edited volume presents the proceedings from the Sustainability, Economics, Innovation, Globalisation and Operational Psychology Conference 2023 (SEIGOP 2023), organized by the Centre for International Trade and Business in Asia (CITBA) at James Cook University, Singapore. It places a spotlight on the dynamic and vulnerable climatological-geographical region of the Tropics, which is experiencing rapid development and significant advancements through innovative technologies.

The Tropics are characterized by unparalleled biodiversity, yet they face challenges due to rapid population growth. As countries like India, Indonesia, and Nigeria emerge as some of the largest economies by the century's end, the socioeconomic progress in these regions is at risk from the adverse effects of climate change. This reality has prompted policymakers, businesses, and local communities to explore more sustainable and innovative approaches to living and working.

Innovation-Driven Business and Sustainability in the Tropics compiles theory-driven conceptual, qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies that examine the impact of innovation-driven businesses on the intricate relationships between socio-cultural, economic, and environmental factors in the Tropics. By addressing these complex issues, the volume aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of sustainable practices in a region that is both vibrant and at risk.
