Organizations often face challenges in incorporating the sustainable development goals (SDGs) into their strategic agendas. Despite the availability of guidelines from leading practitioners, such guidance often lacks the scientific insights provided by academia. In this study, we examine the integration of scholarly management literature into practical guidelines for achieving the SDGs. To do so, we first examined nine practitioner guidelines offered by well-reputed consulting firms, multilateral organizations and non-profits, from which we identified four underlying general processes: prioritizing SDGs to the most relevant strategic goals of firms, contextualizing the SDGs to firms’ geographical and industrial contexts, collaborating with other organizations and stakeholders to make more impactful progress and innovating via business process remodelling. Using these four processes as an overarching framework, we then conducted an interpretive literature review to mine highly cited sustainable development-related papers in the management field covering an 11-year period (2010–2020). From these studies, we derived novel connections to all four stages to offer a more robust and scientifically informed process-based framework for SDG adoption. We discuss multiple scholarly implications, including the importance of enhancing knowledge about the various phases of the SDG adoption model, developing research on understudied SDGs, and expanding theoretical and methodological approaches to SDG research. Additionally, we provide a more grounded SDG adoption model with significant practical implications.

研究如何为可持续发展目标的实施做出贡献？可持续发展目标管理文献的解释性回顾

组织在将可持续发展目标 (SDG) 纳入其战略议程方面经常面临挑战。尽管领先的从业者提供了指导方针，但这种指导往往缺乏学术界提供的科学见解。在这项研究中，我们研究了将学术管理文献整合到实现可持续发展目标的实用指南中。为此，我们首先研究了由知名咨询公司、多边组织和非营利组织提供的九项从业者指南，我们从中确定了四个基本的一般流程：将可持续发展目标优先考虑企业最相关的战略目标，将可持续发展目标与企业背景联系起来'地理和工业环境，合作与其他组织和利益相关者一起取得更有影响力的进步和创新通过业务流程重塑。使用这四个过程作为总体框架，我们随后进行了解释性文献回顾，以挖掘涵盖 11 年（2010-2020 年）的管理领域中被高引用的可持续发展相关论文。从这些研究中，我们得出了与所有四个阶段的新联系，为采用可持续发展目标提供了一个更强大、更科学、基于流程的框架。我们讨论了多重学术意义，包括加强对 SDG 采纳模型各个阶段知识的重要性，开展对未充分研究的 SDG 的研究，以及扩展 SDG 研究的理论和方法方法。此外，我们提供了一个更扎实的 SDG 采用模型，具有重要的实际意义。
