What the paper says

The study examines how the antecedents in the antecedents-decisions-outcomes (ADO) model support sustainable business model innovation (SBMI) in furniture-manufacturing firms. The research team conducted in-depth interviews with six furniture manufacturers and generated themes from the responses using thematic analysis. To achieve data saturation, the present study conducted two member-check meetings. The findings indicated three main themes from the thematic analysis, which include: design thinking as the strategic driver, waste recycling adoption as the microenvironmental driver and engagement with stakeholders as human perspective. The most important antecedent is the involvement of stakeholders, who were able to holistically impact ecological, social, financial and organizational performance. This study adds compelling empirical support and enhancement to the ADO model towards a robust model in understanding how SBMI can be effectively implemented in furniture-manufacturing firms. Thus, furniture manufacturers need to leverage these three drivers as antecedents in the ADO model.
