The authors of Managing for the Environment draw from their extensive managing, consulting, and research experiences to give managers, elected officials, students, and concerned citizens the tools they need to address environmental issues effectively. Authoritative, insightful, and the first of its kind to take a strategic management view, this book: describes current issues and trends in environmental affairs, including sustainable development, risk-based priority setting, managing for results, market incentives, and environmental justice; explains what readers should know about environmental laws and their implementation; shows how managers can incorporate environmental management concepts into their organizations' thinking by linking strategies, structures, and information systems; and offers strategies for overcoming the political, economic, and organizational obstacles to doing so.
