Management Education for the World
Ô50+20 not only raises the sights for those charged with the development of our future leaders, but also provides a clear roadmap for delivering on that ambition. As such, it is an important contribution to a journey of transformation that affects not only the future of business, but the very planet itself.Õ Ð Paul Polman, Unilever, US ÔThe 50+20 initiative is an ambitious effort that highlights the urgent need for radical change in what we teach and how management education is delivered today.

Strategy for Managing Complex Systems
Das Management der Zukunft Wie der Management-Vordenker Fredmund Malik darlegt, wird systemischevolutionäres Denken in Zukunft immer wichtiger - genauso wie die Anwendung der Kybernetik auf das Management. Denn Organisationen sind komplexe Systeme mit ihren eigenen Gesetzmäßigkeiten und Verhaltensweisen. Sie benötigen ein Management, das ihrer Komplexität entspricht. Malik liefert in diesem englischsprachigen Buch die Theorie des neuen Managements der Komplexität, aber auch Strategien und Methoden, die für Manager und Führungskräfte unverzichtbar sind.
A Theory of Marketing
Marius Lüdicke documents and explains the largely abandoned scholarly ambition to develop a general theory of marketing. Drawing on Luhmannian social systems theory the author proposes a fundamentally different comprehensive concept of marketing that fulfills foundational scholarly and managerial requirements in an unprecedented way.
Corporate Environmental Responsibility
Traditionally, industry has been accused of sacrificing sustainable development in the pursuit of short-term profit. Yet today, under the banner of Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER), a growing number of business organizations are claiming to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. So, what is this emerging phenomenon of CER and what does it aspire to achieve? How pervasive is it and what are its implications for both business and the environment? This collection of essential articles and papers maps the development of the CER concept, traces the principal debates concerning its contribution to environmental protection, assesses the evidence as to what extent corporations are seeking to "do well be doing good" and explains why some companies have gone down this path when others, similarly situated, have been unwilling to do so. In essence, it asks: what has CER accomplished, what can it accomplish, and what is beyond its reach?

Natural Resources and the Green Economy
Considering that natural resources or green capital are the drivers of globalisation, this book focuses on the link between investment, trade and natural resource management in the context of the growing economic inequalities between states.
Recent Trends in Sustainability and Management Strategy
With enterprises world over redefining the very purpose of their existence from profit-making to include societal and environmental responsibilities, sustainability has taken a centre stage for these business entities. Governments, not-for-profit organizations and social activist groups are also equally concerned about the overall impact of economic development on environmental and societal fabric. It is in this context, that ICSMS–2015 aims at sharing research and experience based knowledge among researchers, academicians, policy-makers, industry veterans, NGOs, consultants, students and practitioners in their respective fields.
Defining Sustainable Development for Our Common Future
The UN World Commission on Environment and Development, chaired by former Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland, alerted the world to the urgency of making progress toward economic development that could be sustained without depleting natural resources or harming the environment. Written by an international group of politicians, civil servants and experts on the environment and development, the Brundtland Report changed sustainable development from a physical notion to one based on social, economic and environmental issues. This book positions the Brundtland Commission as a key event within a longer series of international reactions to pressing problems of global poverty and environ...
