聯合國宣布2030年永續發展目標成為國際間高度議題，企業發展持續壯大同時因蓬勃發展變化永續力的推動隨之因應不遺餘力，永續力指標範圍廣泛於國際間流竄於企業理性的利益追求下推動永續力頻受阻礙，推動歷程需仰賴各界參與且跨越多項障礙進行資訊串聯以確保相關永續資訊得以連動。然而，在跨界過程中亦涉及許多利害關係者的互動，導致永續力受到限制。因此，本研究將聚焦於企業透過跨界活動形塑永續力的過程。
企業永續是當今至關重要的議題，涉及：環境、社會、治理三大面向。儘管當代組織皆已意識到永續的重要性，鮮少企業以實務角度探索實踐所需項目。此外，發展永續力需要藉鑿於各項數據的整合，各項資訊橫跨企業不同組織單位與形態，例如：財務、人資、產品、企業類型與規模、供應商…等，甚至是國際法規日益更迭，倘若採用傳統跨界機制形塑永續可能將有其限制。為此，本研究採用靈巧跨界觀點探討企業形塑永續力之歷程來完整永續力研究與實踐的不足。
考量此一研究議題仍在發展之初，本研究採用個案研究作為研究方法，並以電子零組件供應商為研究個案，透過深度訪談聚焦永續力跨界者視角，搜集相關資訊深度探索個案發展脈絡。具體而言，本研究提出靈巧跨界之模型透過各階段跨界機制，滿足運用靈巧的跨界活動，使企業得以即時因應體制轉變，並且形塑企業永續力。總體而言，靈巧跨界的應用使企業提升長期永續競爭力為管理研究貢獻，亦成為本研究理論與實務意涵。

The United Nations has highlighted the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals as a key international issue. As companies expand， they strive to promote sustainability amidst dynamic changes. Despite broad and internationally recognized sustainability indicators;However, the pursuit of rational business interests often obstructs the promotion of sustainability. This process requires participation across various sectors and transcends multiple boundaries， relying on cross-boundary information flow Internal organizational integration. However, without subordinate relationships, the process faces challenges. The research question is: How can ambidexterity-boundary spanning promotion of sustainability help businesses respond promptly and benefit them?
This study reviews the development of various sustainability efforts and related research, noting that sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) are often seen as performance metrics rather than essential business practices. Sustainability information spans internationally and across different company units, such as finance, human resources, product types, company sizes, and suppliers. By using ambidexterity-boundary spanning integration of sustainability projects, this research investigates how such sustainability initiatives can be effectively implemented, addressing gaps in comprehensive sustainability studies and practices.
Considering that this research topic is still in its early stages of development, this study adopts a case study approach, focusing on an electronic component supplier as the research case. Through in-depth interviews, it gathers relevant information from the ambidextrous boundary-spanning to explore this case. Specifically, the research outlines the stages of ambidextrous boundary-spanning sustainability within the company and examines the phenomena at each stage against theoretical reflections. The goal is to apply ambidexterous boundary-spanning sustainability to help the company adapt to systemic changes, enhancing it is long-term sustainable competitiveness and contributing theoretically and practically to the field.
