Abstract [en]

This case study investigates the predictive impact of sustainability initiatives on the short-term operational success of managers within a publicly listed industrial communication company, referred to as 'The Firm.' The study employs quantitative survey data to gauge operational managers' perceptions and evaluates these perceptions through multiple linear regression and other statistical techniques.The research identifies key variables related to stakeholder value, customer value, and operational targets. The results indicate that sustainability initiatives focused on enhancing customer relationships significantly positively impact short-term operational goals such as financial targets. Conversely, some initiatives related to stakeholder value negatively affect these goals. The predictive analysis underscores the complexity managers face in balancing immediate financial objectives with long-term sustainability efforts. Through descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and diagnostic checks, this study provides a comprehensive view of how sustainability practices influence operational outcomes. It contributes to the broader discourse on corporate sustainability by offering empirical evidence on the effectiveness of integrating sustainability into core business strategies, supporting both short-term success and long-term value creation.
