The corporate innovations which maintain sustainability are threatening to management control systems and habitual style of management and frequently require new strategies, structures and organizational capabilities. Therefore, a business is unlikely to apply all the advantages of efficient strategic sustainable progress without a continuous and deep process of management and learning at every level of the organization (Griffith 2001).
In order to advance to the stage of the definitely responsive and responsible establishment, the organization needs to implement the transition to a firm that serves as a tool for meeting the needs of employees and supports the biosphere (Dunphy 2004). At the stage of individual, tasks were redesigned to improve an individual’s self-government in decision-making and to link personal employee’s job to the organization’s basic purpose. Job conditions are redesigned to generate better employee satisfaction and organizational commitment (Griffith 2001).
The skills that sustainable organizations are required to possess will include higher organizational skills of adaption, empathy, learning, self-confidence, personal resilience, influence and communication, training, conflict resolution and negotiation. The truly sustaining organization seeks to use its impact in the best way to improve the results of work of its employees (Benn 2007). In terms of ideology, for example, there exists some exertion among human sustainability that concentrates on the development of employee capability, and the ideas of strong sustainability. The concepts of human sustainability are an integral part of progress regarding corporate sustainability; a cogitative process which applies to human governing and competence (Dunphy 2004).
