Perspectives in Sustainable Management Practices by Satyajit Chakrabarti
Embracing sustainable management practices is important for businesses and commercial organizations wishing to responsibly contribute to the socioeconomic development of societies and communities. This book provides insights into recent trends, issues, and challenges in embracing these practices, while promoting growth and innovation in business.
The COVID-19 pandemic has redefined the necessity of implementing sustainable practices. This book looks at the process, implementation, and evaluation of sustainable practices in the social and commercial sectors in recent years. With case studies from different industries, these chapters explore and document creative applications of effective measures to chart out financial growth for businesses while reducing carbon emissions, focusing on corporate social responsibility, and working toward socio-economic sustainability for workers and communities, among others. They also examine how these innovative strategies can be scaled up and applied across diverse industries, for small and large businesses, and in different economic environments.
Part of the Contemporary Management Practices series, this book will be useful to practising managers, researchers, and students who are interested in business strategy, financial strategy, and social inclusion. It will be especially of use to those working in the areas of corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, green marketing, corporate finance, and organizational performance.
