Book Description

The sustainability of business, both economically and ecologically, is one of this century's central debates. While corporations can have positive effects on society and the environment, they can also impact it negatively. This book raises important questions such as 'how do corporations become truly sustainable?'

Bringing together global issues of ecological sustainability, human resource management, corporate citizenship and community renewal, this book creates a unified approach to global sustainability. Outlining the long-term corporate benefits, it examines the changes required to achieve true sustainability.

This timely and novel approach to a very topical subject, has been written by a team of well-known and respected international authors. It includes case studies, critical vignettes, boxed features, chapter summaries, and will be of particular interest to anyone studying or working in the areas of management, environmental studies, sustainability or organizational studies.



Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for the previous edition:

'This book should be read by anyone who has any past, present, or future involvement in corporate 'greening'. The authors have done a great service in applying numerous organizational development concepts and approaches to the increasingly important area of sustainability. If you want to change organizations for the better, this is an indispensable source of ideas and information,' - Mark Starik, GW Environmental and Social Sustainability Initative

'This is a must read for senior managers concerned about the role of the corporation in society following the collapse of the bubble economy of the 1990s. Dunphy and his associates argue persuasively that investor capitalism must give way to a more enlightened view of managements' responsibilities. Based on extensive research, the authors chart the path leading corporations have taken and others could follow if their leaders took the advice offered in this book.' - Michael Beer, Harvard Business School, USA
