Today, increasingly more, the word sustainability is present in all
kinds of discussions: at home, at work, at school, in all society.
Conscious of the environment where we live everybody looks to find
the best solutions to solve problems that result from Human Being
evolution. Management for a sustainable development appears as a
process from which organizations try to use all its resources, as
well as improve its organizational and technological development,
in order to answer not only to the present but also to future human
and social needs. Only in this way is it possible to improve the
quality of life. Seen in this way, sustainable development is
understood to be people centred. We have a special concern with
cultural, social and economic dimensions, where individuals can
develop, together as a society, whilst at the same time individual
and organizational activities can be implemented without destroying
the present diversity and complexity of the ecological system where
we live. Taking into account these concerns, this book looks to
cover issues related to the management for sustainable development
in a context where organizations are continually facing high
challenges for what concerns the items related to, amongst others,
the re-use, recycling, waste reduction, add value, low costs and
time of production, sustainable behaviour, not only in an
environmental perspective but also in an organizational
perspective. Today's organizations can no longer develop their
practices based in the existent paradigms. On the contrary, it is
necessary to completely break from these paradigms, creating a
total change of mentality in the way we manage the organizational
activities. Taking into account this reality, managing for a
sustainable development appears as a management philosophy focused
in productivity improvement considering different kinds of goals,
such as biological, economic and social systems goals. Conscious of
this reality, this book contributes to the exchange of experiences
and perspectives about the state of research related to the
management for a sustainable development, as well as the future
direction of this research field. It looks to provide a support to
academics and researchers, as well as those operating in the
management field and who need to deal with policies and strategies
related to sustainable development issues.
