Recenzii
“The Past, Present, and Future of Sustainable Management is more of an academic book … . It’s also a surprising and exciting work as it challenges many of the assumptions we have about the field … . It’s a refreshing read, providing relevant historical context for important questions faced by managers today.” (charterworks.com, August, 2021)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
We might think sustainable management is a new idea, created in the 1960s by enlightened modern scientists. We might think that it puts us on a new path, beyond what management was originally about. But this is not true. Sustainable management is as old as civilization and was a foundation stone of management science as it was formed in the first decade of the 20th century. Recovering this forgotten past provides deeper roots and greater traction to advance sustainable management in our own times.
