Corporate Governance And Sustainability Challenges for Theory And Practice

In recent years, as corporations and governments have increasingly been confronted with managing the expectations of a society newly alerted to the social and environmental risks of economic development, recognition is dawning that achieving a sustainable world is dependent upon the democratic management and equitable distribution of these risks for now, and for the future. This book, the first to explore the themes of corporate governance and sustainability, argues that a better system of governance on a number of levels holds the key. Contributed to and edited by a distinguished international team, this book recognizes the complex and contested nature of both sustainability and governance, and that these key concepts have been redefined considerably over time. Arranged in three parts, it covers: Governance and Sustainability Challenges the limitations of exsisting models of governance redesigning Governance for Sustainability. As sustainability poses new and major challenges for the theory and practice of corporate governance, this book, ideal for postgraduate students of business and management, identifies and addresses these challenges.Benn, Suzanne is the author of 'Corporate Governance And Sustainability Challenges for Theory And Practice', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415380621 and ISBN 0415380626.
