This book was released on 1993 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If today's business schools are to fulfill their obligation to produce the managers of the future, academic training has to include environmental awareness. This book provides a better understanding of the dramatic implications that environmental concerns are having on the practice of business and on the teaching of business practices. It creates and enhances environmental awareness, fostering creative thinking in a manner consistent with the objectives of business schools. Environmental Issues in the Curricula of International Business discusses the necessity and criticality of environmental awareness to business practices in the 1990s and beyond, drawing a link between this information and its application to business curricula. Chapters discuss the many implications of the Green movement and increased environmental concerns on international business and how this affects the obligations of business educators. Additional chapters focus on environmental ethics and responsibilities. Some specific topics covered include: the effects of the green challenge to business schools in the light of the environmental needs of business organizations the impact of an ecological approach to the development of a sustainable economy a description of six potential avenues for academic business involvement in environmental business teaching, research, and service curriculum development incorporating the theme of environmental ethics in international business education a contrasting look at two models for including environmental ethics in the international business curricula This groundbreaking book emphasizes the responsibilities of educators and researchers for the inclusion of environmental consciousness in the present curriculum in business schools. Marketing and management academics, professionals specializing in the environment and ethics, and business school deans and university presidents will find this book a vital tool for incorporating environmental concerns into their curricula.

Download or read book Global Environmental Change written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-09-14 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we understand and rise to the environmental challenges of global change? One clear answer is to understand the science of global change, not solely in terms of the processes that control changes in climate and the composition of the atmosphere, but in how ecosystems and human society interact with these changes. In the last two decades of the twentieth century, a number of such research effortsâ€"supported by computer and satellite technologyâ€"have been launched. Yet many opportunities for integration remain unexploited, and many fundamental questions remain about the earth's capacity to support a growing human population. This volume encourages a renewed commitment to understanding global change and sets a direction for research in the decade ahead. Through case studies the book explores what can be learned from the lessons of the past 20 years and what are the outstanding scientific questions. Highlights include: Research imperatives and strategies for investigators in the areas of atmospheric chemistry, climate, ecosystem studies, and human dimensions of global change. The context of climate change, including lessons to be gleaned from paleoclimatology. Human responses toâ€"and forcing ofâ€"projected global change. This book offers a comprehensive overview of global change research to date and provides a framework for answering urgent questions.

Download or read book The Imperatives of Sustainable Development written by Erling Holden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years ago, the UN report Our Common Future placed sustainable development firmly on the international agenda. The Imperatives of Sustainable Development takes the ethical foundations of Our Common Future and builds a model that emphasizes three equally important moral imperatives – satisfying human needs, ensuring social justice, and respecting environmental limits. This model suggests sustainability themes and assigns thresholds to them, thereby defining the space within which sustainable development can be achieved. The authors accept that there is no single pathway to the sustainable development space. Different countries face different challenges and must follow different pathways. This perspective is applied to all countries to determine whether the thresholds of the sustainability themes selected have been met, now and in the past. The authors build on the extensive literature on needs, equity, justice, environmental science, ecology, and economics, and show how the three moral imperatives can guide policymaking. The Imperatives of Sustainable Development synthesizes past reasoning, summarizes the present debate, and provides a clear direction for future thinking. This book will be essential reading for everyone interested in the future of sustainable development and in the complex environmental and social issues involved.

Download or read book Environmental Management written by Uberoi and published by Excel Books India. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Management, with few exceptions, is not taught in colleges, universities, technical and management institutions. The result is that the students of these institutions lack knowledge and sensitisation to environmental issues. They lack the awareness of environmental consequences of human actions. To fill this void, Environmental Management is timely. The book provides background material to various environmental problems. It surveys a range of topics from sustainable development and ecological imperatives to strategies for managing environmental issues. The problem of pollution, waste management, biological diversity and forest management have been analysed in the light of laws and international conventions and treaties. The book brings out the realities about the damage being inflicted on the environment and our exploitive attitude to nature. It concludes with discussion and debate about values in nature and touches upon the subject of metamorphosis of the whole trajectory of attitudes in modern societies.
