Managing for sustainable development has become increasingly
accepted worldwide by corporate, public, and non-profit
organizations as vital to the continued existence and development
of both these organizations and their natural and social
environments. This collection of original papers provides various
perspectives on sustainable management practices, particularly as
practiced by large corporations. The ten studies in this volume
represent the latest theoretical and empirical research in the
field of organizations and the natural environment. The
contributors present a range of unique perspectives on issues
including the impact of globalization on sustainability,
cross-cultural comparisons of the impact of institutional contexts
on environmental practices of Japanese and Chinese firms,
comparisons of voluntary environmental initiatives undertaken by
public and private sector organizations, processes of
organizational change in response to stakeholder pressures, the
transfer of environmental capabilities during mergers and
acquisitions, why some companies keep the environmentally friendly
features of their products secret, and the influence of emissions
and health-impacts information on attitudes toward the environment.
This volume opens and closes with two essays that comprehensively
review the state of research in organizations and the natural
environment and suggest directions for future researchers. This
insightful book presents studies from a wide range of disciplinary
perspectives: Human Resources Management, Strategy, Operations
Management, Accounting, International Business, Marketing, and
Development. It represents the latest state of knowledge in
organizations and the natural environment and provides interesting
perspectives for academics, environmental consultants as well as
environmental managers from business, the public sector, NGOs,
international development institutions, and government.
