Responding to evidence in Dixon and Adamson's (2011) “Challenger Sale” that the sales management system employed by most of today's sales organizations failed to detect and respond to significant changes in the sales environment years ago, this research examines the concept of sales system sustainability. Borrowing from the field of eco-science where the concept of sustainability has been largely developed, this theoretical research introduces Holmgren's (2002) permaculture principles to the sales literature and offers a conceptual application of these principles in the context of industrial selling. It posits that application of these principles will aid the sales organization's acquisition, dissemination and application of knowledge, effectively positioning the organization for greater endurance and sustainability going forward. In addition to offering managerial implications throughout, this paper concludes by providing a road map for future research inquiry.

=====Options for Sustainability in Building and Energy: A South African Permaculture Case Study=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876610215028398 by Elizabeth May Kruger 12/15 ScienceDirect]

Sustainability of human economies and the environments that we inhabit as part of a globalized society have been debated at least since the 1970s, and solutions to the currently destructive effects on the planet of our economies and behaviours have been sought across the spectrum, from government agencies, NGOs, to the private sector and civil society alike. This paper brings to light one case study that provides some clues to opportunities and challenges for sustainability in energy and building from a permaculture project located in a semi-arid permaculture project in the Western Cape province in South Africa, in the context of South African housing and energy policy that recognizes sustainability in principle but in practice still leaves much room for the implementation of sustainability goals.
