To date, only partial aspects of the relationship between sustainability performance, competitiveness and economic performance have been studied from a theoretical as well as an empirical perspective. And, to date, no unique relationship has prevailed in empirical studies. So, how should the business case for sustainability be managed? This is a critical area - and a key book ... probably the most comprehensive collection to date of business case analyses. John Elkington

Laden with the vernacular of corporate social responsibility (CSR), the text is clearly not geared toward a lay audience but toward heavyweights - academics conducting empirical research on CSR and business practitioners trying to make corporate social and environmental sustainability a reality. For this audience, the book will prove an indispensable resource ... Instead of validating one approach over the other, the researchers identify the strengths of each strategy. Likewise, the book seeks not to endorse one particular perspective on the corporate sustainability, but rather viewpoints across the spectrum. Indeed, what is impressive about the book is its incredible breadth and depth - which might explain its heft! Read the full review - Bill Baue, socialfunds.com. || I think this book would be an excellent study text for the required reading and study for an MBA or similar, related business study course ... recommended. - Eagle Bulletin Vol. 17, No. 3 (November 2006)
