Friends,
I wanted to let you know about Integrated Management: How Sustainability Creates Value for Any Business published by Emerald. The book is for use in business management, and sustainability courses with suggested syllabi and resources available for full semester, on-line, and 8 week exec ed courses. Simply email me requests for syllabi.
Why integration and why now? Integration has been a key theme across the general management, organizational behavior, supply chain management, strategy, information systems and the environmental management literature for decades. Sustainability continues to be, at the “top of the agenda” in the C-suite. Despite this, specialists in academia and organizations may lack the peripheral vision to understand the power of an integrated approach that empowers functional groups to become best-in-class without forcing trade-offs that pull down other groups connected to overall operations. Integrated Management is the key driver of innovation and profitability in progressive companies. It reduces risks while pursuing new opportunities, and the checks and balances for sustainability are baked in the strategy for modern go-to-market synergy and growth. For a deeper dive into the contents of this resource, see a review of the book in a Sustainability Curriculum Consortium webinar.
Yes, this is shameless self-promotion of the book, yet I hope you can see past this to consider this resource for research projects, and as you develop and deliver curriculum.
