Managing the Environment offers an interdisciplinary and multi-functional management approach to the environmental issues affecting business practice.Many of the books published on this subject have so far been written by environmental scientists or from a strictly economic viewpoint. Managing the Environment aims to redress the balance by considering the impacts of environmental issues on various management functions, including accounting and finance, marketing, production and operations, information systems and organizational behaviour and culture. Each chapter includes review and study questions, and case studies form an important part of the book.An up-to-date and practical text Many examples and cases A multi-functional management approach
