Organizing for Sustainability, volume 1 'Organizing for Sustainable Effectiveness' <st1:personname w:st="on">edit</st1:personname>ed by Susan Albers Mohrman and Abraham B. (Rami) Shani.

ISBN: 9780857245571

ISSN: 2045-0605

Pub. Date: 14^th July 2011

Synopsis:

A large literature has been generated about sustainability, and many organizations, governments, communities, and citizens have focused on it.  Yet, given how quickly the limits of the current models of the global economy are being approached, we must accelerate the rate at which we learn to operate differently.  In this first volume of the Emerald series Organizing for Sustainable Effectiveness, our goal is to learn from some of the pioneers articulating these challenges and organizing to address them. 

There is an urgent need to grow the knowledge bases to guide the transition.  For this reason, each chapter in this volume is crafted to bring together the knowledge of practice and theory.  The chapters are based on rich empirical data about particular cases in which organizations are, individually or collectively, working to build a more sustainable future.  The authors of these chapters also bring theoretical knowledge to bear on these case examples.  In so doing, they test the applicability of the formal knowledge base about management and organizations, while refining, modifying, and extending it to increase its usefulness in addressing the challenges of organizing for sustainable effectiveness.  By combining knowledge from multiple stakeholders and multiple disciplines, it is the intention of the authors in this book to contribute to the broader learning discourse through which practical organizing solutions are designed and research-based guidance is provided.
