Environmental management and decision making for business

Great change is necessary in our society and in business organizations if we and the natural world are to live sustainably. We have started to change but it is slow and intermittent. Can we continue to sustain growth in sales and profits and not significantly impinge on the natural environment when world population is heading towards 12 billion and developed countries are maintaining their materialistic bent and developing countries are striving to catch up? If we are to change, we need to educate our young people in new ways of thinking about and seeing the natural world This book seeks to be part of the education of future managers of business organizations - an education about: learning to think strategically not only about future markets and sales, but about the natural world; what the natural world means to humanity; and how their decisions can impact it for better or worse.
