Attaining the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal of Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure focuses on Sustainable Development Goal number nine (SDG9): resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization and fostering innovation. Examining family businesses in Algeria, Japan, Australia and Germany, each case study presents a unique perspective from their respective countries of how the SDG9 translates into culture and the practice of doing business, providing insights and key takeaways into how family businesses can play a role in advancing innovation, enabling industrialisation and developing robust infrastructure.The United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 Goals pledged by 193 nations in 2015 which would help engender an improved, fairer, and more sustainable world – one in which ‘no one is left behind’. The SDGs are a call to action, to develop innovative solutions to the most complex, societal, and environmental global challenges. In Family Businesses on a Mission, series editors Naomi Birdthistle and Rob Hales bring together international case studies to illustrate how family businesses can attain the UN 2030 SDGs.Accessible to those working in the field beyond academia – such as family business practitioners, family business owners, government and policymakers, members of NGOs, business associations and philanthropic centres – the book series equally appeals to those with a general interest in entrepreneurship and business.
