In this book, a resource-oriented perception of sustainable management
is presented. Firms that decide to act more sustainable have to bear
in mind that they do not only need resources for economic activities
today, but that they will need these tomorrow as well. This leads to
contradictory management rationalities firms must deal with. The
author presents his findings as regards the development of
environmental and social responsibility and introduces a theory of
management ecology. He takes a close look at the contradictions
businesses have to face when governing their activity towards
sustainability. Moreover, he identifies different notions of the
resource term in management studies and develops a “sustainable
resource management” which could help businesses redirect their
economic activities from a solely profit-oriented to a
resource-oriented way of operating.
