Abstract: The strategic management literature is combined with a cross-national and cross-cultural perspective to offer a broad conceptual framework that guides the development of a research roadmap that begins with an inductive theory building phase which is followed by an empirical testing phase. The potential benefits, of such an approach, include movement toward an integrated theory of sustainability that will provide useful insights to multiple constituents including managers and policy makers.

Key words: strategy; sustainability; cross-cultural
