Description
This paper extends previous efforts to remedy the absence of “systems” theorizing within the information systems (IS) field. It addresses the question, “Why is the IS field struggling with sustainability issues?” By leveraging on the nascent foundations built for going back to the systems approach in IS, this paper develops a model for how current efforts in digitalization and digital transformation can support the building of sustainable futures. The bridge that links digitalization to sustainable futures is built on the principles of the system paradigm that provides leverage points for positive interventions that will make a difference to efforts in sustainability.
