Sustainable strategic management (SSM) involves analysing,
formulating, and implementing business strategies that are
economically competitive, socially responsible, and in balance with
the cycles of nature. SSM has emerged from the coevolutionary
interactions of business organisations with the society they serve
and the planet they call home. SSM strategic portfolios allow
organisations to create competitive advantages by serving as agents
of social change and ecological protection. This book has been
specifically written as a text for traditional graduate and
undergraduate strategic management courses, and its short length
makes appropriate as a supplementary text in these courses as well.
The authors have structured the book to follow the standard
strategic management process, and they have included an ongoing
descriptive case on Eastman Chemical Company designed to provide an
in-depth example of the concepts presented in the chapters. From
creating organisational visions and missions, to formulating,
implementing, and evaluating goals and strategies, this book
provides readers with new ways of thinking about their
organisation's strategic role in the greater society and ecosystem
now and in the future.

When this classic text was first published in 1992 it provided a
unique focus for the burgeoning concern for sustainability and
sustainable organizational practices. The book's impact continues
to be felt today as large multinational corporations are making
substantial commitments to the 'triple bottom line' of economic
success, social responsibility, and environmental protection, and
sustainability has become a part of curricula in business schools
around the globe. Featuring extensive new material throughout, this
new edition of "Management for a Small Planet" maintains the same
unique vision and approach that made the original so influential.
Unlike other texts on the topic, it employs a strategic, general
management perspective within theoretical frameworks on how
organizations can be instrumental in moving humankind toward a more
sustainable world. Part I includes chapters dedicated to each
dimension of sustainability: biophysical, economic, and social.
Part II contains the specifics on the formulation and
implementation of sustainable management practices, all grounded in
the principles of organizational behavior, leadership, and business
strategy. The book is an ideal text for any course concerned with
environmental management and sustainable management practices.
