Environmental issues now loom large on the social, political, and
business agenda. Over the past four decades, "corporate
environmentalism" has emerged and been constantly redefined, from
regulatory compliance to more recent management conceptions such as
pollution prevention, total quality environmental management,
industrial ecology, life cycle analysis, environmental strategy,
environmental justice, and, most recently, sustainable development.
As a result, understanding the intersection of business activity
and environmental protection has become increasingly complex, and
there has emerged a focus in academic research on business
decision-making, firm behavior, and the protection of the natural
environment. This handbook reviews the state of the field as it
grows into a mature area of study within management science, its
achievements, and its future avenues of research. It brings
together original contributions in the field along several lines of
enquiry. The first six focus on disciplines as delineated in
contemporary business schools: business strategy; policy and
non-market strategies; organizational theory and behavior;
operations and technology; marketing; and accounting and finance.
The seventh section reviews emergent and associated perspectives,
whilst a concluding section, written by long-standing leaders in
the field, discusses the future outlook for research.
