Samenvatting

In combining practice and theory, this textbook provides a management perspective on the 'business case' for sustainability. Drawing on examples from 20 frontrunner companies located in the Netherlands, it builds upon a unique research project in which CEOs and middle-managers gave access not only to their decision-making process, but also revealed how their perceptions shaped the transition process. This book identifies four different archetypes of business cases and related business models that business students and managers can use to identify phases and related attitudes towards sustainability. The book provides in-depth analysis and insight into: * theoretical concepts and an overview of the relevant literature * the different business cases for sustainability * behavioural characteristics of each phase and the typical barriers between them * more than 70 tipping points * approaches to shaping stakeholder dialogue * effective engagement of stakeholders in each phase of transition * how companies move through the phases towards higher levels of sustainability * insights of employees of the 20 companies whether the business case was really achieved * summary of the interventions which have proved successful in these companies. This book offers students as well as managers of vocational and academic institutions at undergraduate and postgraduate level insight into real-life transition processes towards sustainability.

  • Ontzettend vervelend om te lezen

    Negatieve punten

    • Te theoretisch
    • Achterhaald
    • Saai

    Het is haast knap hoe het de schrijver gelukt is dit toch behoorlijk interessante onderwerp op een dusdanig saaie en stugge manier te presenteren. Dit is dus echt alles behalve een aanrader.

    • Toegankelijk

    Negatieve punten

    • Te theoretisch
    • Achterhaald

    Het boek brengt de theorie op een toegankelijke maar wel droge manier over. Veel opsommingen en lijstjes.

  • Leaders or followers, that is the question

    Positieve punten

    • actueel

    Negatieve punten

    • te weinig kritische reflectie

    Rob van Tulder should be commended by bringing his Partnership Resource Centre as a real partner of the corporate world again by putting this commendable publication together. As always worth reading. What I wonder however is whether focussing on those supposedly leading the transition is getting us anywhere. Eeach company has its own unique transition journey. What matters is whether you are in control yourself or whether the market dictates you. The latter is what the book fails to address. It is the market that dictates companies to make the transition to a green economy? Greening your company provides a comparative advantage over your competitors. As recently stated at the Sustainable Brands conference, your shares are likely to experience a 20% increase in market value. So what is required is to see how Small and Medium Enterprises are doing. Are they able to 'follow', or are they quickly out of business as a result of non-compliance to the new CSR standard? I am looking forward to Rob van Tulder and his team to deliver their next publication hopefully covering this burning question.
