Corporations are now faced with multitude of issues stemming from both endogenous and exogenous causal factors. Paradoxical to formulate a response in this quandary, is often the pathological demeanors of the few. This immensely detrimental behavioral construct is counterproductive, as it for the entity so do for our common goods. Adding to this predicament is the contemporary debate of balancing the need for economic progress and conservation of our common biosphere. What otherwise construed to be far apart systems are suddenly discovered ensnared and the concept is partly thrown upon corporations to integrate in their strategic formulation. Furtherance to this complex abstraction is the perspective of applied physics, “The Entropy Law”. What once considered the matter of thermodynamics is now relevant to our own survival.

Some scholars take this conception depicting the apocalyptic epitome should we continue our increase rate of consumption and plunder of earth’s resources – an abstraction that goes against the very essence of economic progress.

In contrast, others, with a bit of tone down, relying on human spirit and capability to deliver solutions calls upon our common consensus on a formulation known as “Sustainability” or “Sustainable Development”.

But the message is somewhat convoluted through a plethora of conflicting strategies, definitions, mandates and regulatory measures. The obfuscation has created deviation in the discourse of “sustainability” measures without addressing systemic discord with sustainability challenges at organizational and societal level, and societal and ecological level.

My quest to this abstraction is to find a simple yet powerful solution that uncovers systemic conflicts with sustainability challenges prescribing an epitome of behavioral competence that benefit us all; at organizational level it gives the model for long term viability, at societal and ecological level it formulates institutional response to reduce entropy towards interconnected economic and biospheric system.
This survey provides prelude to my research and depicts an interesting result. I believe the survey result furnished herein will immensely benefit corporations to be effective at organizational, financial, societal and environmental level.
