Description
The reciprocal influence of business on the environment and environment on business has been made abundantly clear in recent years. In response to this escalated interest, numerous books have been written analyzing the relationship between organisation and the environment. None has taken an objective interdisciplinary perspective. The focus of this book is business and the eco-environment from an analytical viewpoint.
Business and the Natural Environment highlights the cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary aspects of the business and environment relationship. The key issues within each discipline are underlined informing the reader of the breadth and depth of this area of study.
This book:
· takes a unique interdisciplinary approach
· provides an analytical rather than prescriptive viewpoint
· provides the context for understanding business-environment relationship
· features an international team of experts on business and the environment
