Opis

Corporations and Sustainability: A South Asian Perspective is a compilation of contributions from leading academics and practitioners that provides an overview of the key challenges and opportunities related to sustainability in South Asia.

The last two decades have seen rapid and often dramatic changes in the institutional, economic and ecological contexts faced by firms operating in South Asian economies. The most significant driver of this change has been the economic liberalization attempts of national governments resulting in easier and faster flows of information, labor and capital between these economies and the rest of the world. Consequently, global environmental and social concerns are increasingly driving governmental and corporate decision-making processes for firms operating in South Asia. This edited collection examines issues related to building an environmentally sustainable industrial system from an emerging-economy perspective, with specific emphasis on the subcontinent.

This book thus forms an important perspective for researchers as well as students of masters' level courses on business and environment. The book is particularly useful to those trying to understand the key sustainability challenges in the South Asian context as well as some of the solutions emerging in the critical areas of heavy industry and service sectors.
