Description
Although the success of companies is defined in terms of their contribution to the growth and sustainability of national economies, one of the biggest misconceptions of today’s businesses is the paradox of growth which could be explained by providing more consuming and faster production culture with limited resources (land, labor, technical information, etc.). Growth disengagement is regarded as a sign for the collapse of modern economic systems. Although growth is an extremely attractive strategy for companies, is degrowth becoming the new wave of the future as a necessity or is it a utopian dream? In this framework, the purpose of the study is to focus on degrowth strategy highlighting it as an opportunity for economic, social and ecological sustainability, as well as presenting the term “slow companies” to management literature.
