Managing the transition towards sustainable enterprise is a
daunting task for corporations and business leaders. Uniquely
combining practice and theory, this textbook provides a management
perspective, by considering the extent to which the 'business case'
for sustainability can be proven. Drawing on examples from twenty
frontrunner companies located in the Netherlands, it builds upon a
unique research project in which CEOs and middle-managers gave
access not only to their decision-making process, but also revealed
how their perceptions shaped the transition process. This book
identifies four different archetypes of business cases and related
business models that business students and managers can use to
identify phases and related attitudes towards sustainability.
Structured around this four phase model, the book provides in-depth
analysis and insight into: theoretical concepts and overview of the
relevant literature the business case for sustainability
behavioural characteristics of each phase and the typical barriers
between them more than seventy tipping points the role and
different categories of stakeholders; approaches to shaping
stakeholder dialogue; effective engagement of stakeholders in each
phase of transition how companies move through the phases towards
higher levels of sustainability insights of employees of the 20
companies to illustrate whether the business case was really
achieved summary of the interventions and efforts which have proved
successful in these companies. In addition to being a source of
inspiration for company managers, this book aims to offer students
of vocational and academic institutions at undergraduate and
postgraduate level insight into real-life transition processes
towards sustainability.
