Abstract
The purpose of this study is to introduce Sustainable Socially Responsible Society 6.0 as a new concept that is supposed to extend ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ to the entire society for humankind to gain a new chance to survive beyond the dangerous neoliberalism that abuses the market and democracy to the benefit of very few humans—the richest one percent and a few around them—and beyond Society 5.0. This study aims to define the framework conditions of ‘Well-being Society 6.0’, where humans can both achieve and define their targeted quality of life, including work–life balance, etc. Mulej’s Dialectical Systems Theory provides requisite (i.e., sufficient and necessary) integrity/holism of approach that leads to a Sustainable Socially Responsible (SSR) Society without overlooking the necessity of personal, including managerial, responsibility. Most humans try to satisfy their basic survival needs by management, which is requisitely holistic; it can and shall contribute to setting the framework conditions, foremost with non-technological innovation management. The Economy for the Common Good can contribute to SSR Society 6.0, including ‘Well-being society’. In addition, in 2019–2021 humankind is experiencing the ‘new Corona Virus’ crisis, killing millions, but also enabling a crucial step toward a well-being society by returning worldwide economic governance from neoliberalism to Keynes-based state capitalism with no loud objections.
Highlights
A few years before Mulej’s Dialectical Systems Theory (DST) and 2nd order cybernetics, Bertalanffy published his General Systems Theory (GST) [118,119], where he included a crucial statement on page
After reviewing the literature on the Society 5.0 concept, we can conclude that it influences a wide range of areas with which we as individuals are connected on a daily basis
The perception of Society 6.0 may seem a bit idealistic, but at the same time we believe that the goals of Society 6.0 are definitely something humans should strive for as a modern society, seeking a way out from the current global socio-economic crisis
Summary
Rapid information and communication technology (ICT) development is drastically changing both society and the economy. Digital transformation is partly creating new values and is becoming a pillar of industrial policy in many countries. Social problems of modern society are important, which result from constraints among humans, originating in an aging society, regional disparities and the stagnation of the participation of individuals in social living [1,2]. The impact of digital transformation on society is addressed by the concept of ‘Society 5.0’, but in other aspects than by ‘Industry 4.0’, to stop subordinating humans to machines that differ from the machines of the first three industrial revolutions and enhance competitiveness (more in [3,4,5]). A more humane and requisitely holistic society governance and management is necessary to help humankind find its way out from the current socio-economic crisis that visibly surfaced in 2008 and is not over
