This special issue examines how strategic marketing can advance regenerative futures. While sustainability remains important, regenerative approaches go beyond harm reduction and efficiency to actively restore social, ecological, and economic systems through business strategies, partnerships, and market practices. The issue seeks to understand how firms formulate regenerative marketing goals, develop and communicate regenerative strategies, and align commercial objectives with societal and ecological renewal.

The call invites both conceptual and empirical research exploring marketing's role in enabling restoration, renewal, resilience, and long-term stakeholder value creation. Diverse methodologies are welcome, including experiments, surveys, qualitative research, mixed methods, and multi-level or cross-cultural approaches. Papers should address strategic marketing capabilities, brand strategy, consumer behaviour, digital marketing, business models, stakeholder collaboration, and evaluation metrics related to regenerative transformation.

The COVID-19 pandemic and climate disasters have revealed the limitations of market-based institutions and governments in managing systemic crises. This has prompted increased attention to corporate moral motivation and business ethics as essential for sustainable development. The special issue examines how moral adaptation, business strategy, and innovation interconnect in addressing global challenges.

The relationship between these dimensions is complex. Moral evolution and environmental justice reshape corporate strategy, yet traditional economic theory struggles to reconcile justice with efficiency and ethics with innovation. Simultaneously, businesses play an increasingly vital role in developing solutions to major societal problems, including climate change, through strategic adaptation that affects both their operations and their broader ecosystems.

The special issue calls for research reconsidering business ethics in light of contemporary environmental and social concerns. It welcomes global submissions exploring how ethics, institutional frameworks, and innovation interact to support sustainable business practices and address grand challenges.

The global space industry is undergoing transformation driven by private companies and technological advances that have lowered costs and expanded space's strategic relevance. Advanced technologies including satellite miniaturization, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing now support diverse economic activities from telecommunications to climate monitoring. This evolution occurs within a complex geopolitical context where multiple nations are expanding their capabilities and international frameworks are being developed to govern competition in orbital environments.

This special issue seeks scholarly contributions examining the evolving global space economy and its implications for business strategy, international management, and governance. The journal particularly encourages submissions exploring cross-country dynamics, multinational enterprises, global value chains, and international frameworks shaping the commercial space sector, submitted as empirical research, theoretical work, comparative studies, policy analyses, or case studies.

Scholarship on business sustainability increasingly views organizations as embedded within natural systems, conceptualized through the planetary boundaries framework. The planetary boundary framework defines nine Earth system processes that regulate the planet's stability and resilience and are directly affected by human activity. Alarmingly, seven of these nine boundaries have now been crossed, threatening both natural systems and the economies that depend on them. For business scholarship, this creates an urgent need to understand how organizations can operate and manage within the safe space delineated by planetary boundaries.
