Management for a Small Planet - Hardcover

When Management for a Small Planet first came out, Ed and Jean Stead established themselves as pioneers in a field in which few people were engaged. Today, that book has become a classic. And with the release of this third edition, their message is as timely as it was when it first came out. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in managing business and protecting the environment. --Andrew J. Hoffman, University of Michigan

Ed and Jean Stead continue to enrich the management literature with a perspective that firmly roots the economy and its organizations within the constraints of the biophysical world. A solid contribution and a much needed reorientation of the field. --Herman E. Daly, University of Maryland

When it was published in the early 1990s, Management for a Small Planet was a pioneering book on managing for sustainable organizations. The publication of the third edition of this book indicates how well it has stood the test of time. Written in simple language for business students and managers, the book introduces and explains to the reader basic sustainability concepts. The book then explains the fundamental changes managers need to make in their organizations in order to embark on the path of sustainability. This book is both a useful textbook for students facing their first exposure to sustainable business and a valuable resource for managers seeking a basic understanding of what a sustainable organization would possibly look like. --Sanjay Sharma, Concordia University
