This becomes even more evident when it comes to promoting sustainable development goals within a CN\u2019s activities, by selecting the right partners with a wide consensus from a CN\u2019s management board, avoiding, therefore, the subjectivity around managers\u2019 perception of a CN\u2019s partner selection. Therefore, this work attempts to answer this problem, by presenting a soft-computing-based framework, to support the managers\u2019 board on partner search and selection. The method presented here is further assessed by using a case study, based on the development of a green product, where, according to the obtained results, it is demonstrated that the proposed approach is extremely effective for partner selection, by assessing and prioritizing each candidate involved. The most suitable candidate that fulfills the CN\u2019s requirements is then selected to be integrated as a future partner.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su132212870","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,21]],"date-time":"2021-11-21T21:00:50Z","timestamp":1637528450000},"page":"12870","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Integrating Business, Social, and Environmental Goals in Open Innovation through Partner Selection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5703-8139","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ricardo S.","family":"Santos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa (ISEL), Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Lisboa, 1959-007 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"GOVCOPP, Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism, Universidade de Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jose","family":"Soares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ADVANCE, Lisbon School of Economics and Management (ISEG), University of Lisbon, 1200-781 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4891-1754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro Carmona","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa (ISEL), Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Lisboa, 1959-007 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"EIGeS, Engineering Faculty, Universidade Lus\u00f3fona, 1749-024 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4637-0755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helena V.
