"RESTART represents a thoughtful, well-researched and extremely practical approach to making business models sustainable for the future. The field of sustainability has lacked a comprehensive and practical approach for sustainable business model innovation, and RESTART fills this vital need. The case studies illustrate the framework in illuminating ways that senior executives can readily understand and use."

Looking at the state of sustainability, we cannot afford to settle for an incremental logic when aligning the future of business with that of society – the myriad problems are way too urgent and complex. Jørgensen and Pederson acknowledge this and offer a framework for radically redesigning and innovating – or RESTARTing – business models. In their timely book, the authors bring us thought-through concepts that are theoretically founded and ready applicable in practice. In doing so, they offer something valuable and much-needed: a roadmap for developing business for a better world.
