Over the past four decades, the concept of corporate
environmentalism has passed through multiple iterations. Prompted
by landmark environmental events such the publication of Rachel
Carson's Silent Spring (1962), the Santa Barbara oil spill, the
Cuyahoga River fire, Love Canal, Bhopal, the Exxon Valdez spill,
the Brent Spar controversy, and many other horrifying disasters,
conceptions of corporate environmentalism as mere regulatory
compliance gradually gave way to newer management conceptions of
'pollution prevention', 'total quality environmental management',
'industrial ecology', 'life-cycle analysis', 'environmental
strategy', 'environmental justice', and, most recently,
'sustainable development'. Concurrent with this evolution in
corporate practice has been the emergence of academic research
focused on business decision-making, firm behaviour, and the
protection of the natural environment. Scholars within management
schools entered this research domain with gusto in the mid-1980s,
and what began as a modest offshoot of traditional management
research has grown into a maturing area of study within the
management sciences. This new four-volume Routledge Major Works
collection will enable users to make sense of this thriving and
fast-developing area of serious scholarly endeavour. The collection
is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction that
places the collected material in its historical and intellectual
context. It is destined to be valued by students, teachers, and
researchers as an indispensable reference resource.
