Dýpkaðu skilning þinn á lykilviðfangsefnum sjálfbærrar stjórnunar og ábyrgrar viðskiptaþróunar. Hnattræn viðfangsefni á borð við loftslagsbreytingar, fólksflutninga og fólksfjöldaþróun gera það að verkum að sjálfbærnistjórnun hefur aldrei skipt fyrirtæki og stofnanir meira máli. Þessi lifandi kennslubók styður þig í að ná utan um helstu álitamál og umræður og gerir þér kleift að heimfæra hugtök og kenningar sjálfbærni á raunveruleg viðfangsefni í stjórnun.

Bókin skiptist í þrjá hluta. Fyrst er lagður grunnur að sögu, hugtökum og skilgreiningum sjálfbærrar þróunar, því næst eru sjónarhorn ólíkra hagaðila skoðuð, þar á meðal starfsfólks, neytenda og fjárfesta. Í lokahlutanum er fjallað um hvernig beita má verkfærum og aðferðum sjálfbærni þvert á svið stjórnunar, svo sem markaðsstarf, mannauðsstjórnun, aðfangakeðjustjórnun og reikningshald.

Kaflarnir eru ríkir af námsefni, meðal annars fimmtíu raundæmum um sjálfbærni í rekstri sem sýna bæði góða og slæma starfshætti víða um heim. Rammar um sjálfbærni í samfélaginu og sjálfbærni í rannsóknum tengja efnið við víðari samfélagsumræðu og nýjustu fræðirannsóknir. Hvort sem þú horfir fram á veginn til framtíðarstarfs eða vilt efla fagþekkingu þína er bókin nauðsynleg lesning fyrir þá sem vilja læra meira um að draga úr kostnaði og áhættu, byggja upp orðspor og lögmæti, skapa samkeppnisforskot og stuðla að sjálfbærri þróun fyrirtækja og samfélags.
