APPROACHES TO GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY MARKETS AND GOVERNANCE

Opis produktu

divdivThis book explores the concepts of sustainability and governance in relation to the governance of corporations hence the ubiquity of the term corporate governance and other bodies. It examines how these concepts are regularly used by politicians and by the media. The two concepts are however largely treated as being separate and discrete and given equal coverage. The argument in this book is that the two concepts are interrelated and that good governance is a prerequisite for sustainability. The focus of the book therefore is different from most as it seeks to integrate these two important issues./divdivbr/divdivThe approach used in this book is based on the tradition of the Social Responsibility Research Network a worldwide body of scholars that over its 20year history has sought to broaden the discourse and to treat all research as interrelated and businessrelevant./divdivbr/divdivThe book examines diverse aspects of the changes to corporate and institutional behaviour that have recently manifested by focusing on these two aspects of sustainable development. Thus the authors explore engagement and partnership between organisations in order to consider the extent to which the focus has changed so much that we need to think about new approaches to our understanding of sustainability and differing effects in practice. The international mix of authors makes this an original contribution sharing some of the best ideas from around the world./divdivdivThe continuing development of governance: international divergences.
