New book release: Integrated Management: How Sustainability Creates Value for Any Business, from Emerald Press

A resource for Business School Sustainability Courses and curriculum.  Endorsed by the  CEO of Unilever Paul Polman, John Elkington, Scholars from Harvard, MIT, Boston College, The Aspen Institute, The Living Futures Institute and industry consultants.  This book is an evidence based how-to resource.  Faculty and students will find action learning activities and integration exercises in each chapter aimed at making the intangible tangible, while showcasing best practices by top ranked companies.  It’s easy to say sustainability is important, yet not so easy to understand how it is part of the decisions that are made every day and how it cuts across business functions, systems, and supply chains. The information within this book, the application of systems thinking to complex problems, development of a vision and action plan, your own research, and action learning activities are all designed to accelerate management action, value creation, and the goal of a sustainable future.               It is reasonably priced and ready for adoption for fall courses.
