Integral responsibilities for a responsive and sustainable practice in organization and management

Based on an extended phenomenological understanding, this paper discusses the potential of a responsive, responsible and hence sustainable orientation integral to practice. First, basic ideas about a phenomenology of responsiveness are outlined, and then the notion of responsibility is discussed critically, opening it up towards an extended understanding. Based on an integral framework, different fields of application of responsibility for organization and its interrelation are presented. Finally, implications and perspectives for further investigating and incorporating responsive and integral responsibility for a sustainable organization are outlined.
