ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book provides an overview of key corporate environmental management. It shows that environmental management is characterised by various specific management problems, questions and approaches that do not form a part conventional corporate management but that are nevertheless crucial to business success. The book illustrates this point by revealing that environmental management emphasises the need for a substantially stronger understanding and normative analysis of influences from various sources, or spheres of influence. It also shows that strategic management can be fundamentally influenced by specific environmental issues that require examination and thought about new aspects of competitiveness, new forms of co-operation and new strategic considerations that are captured by the concept of strategic environmental management. The book discusses eco-marketing, environmental accounting and eco-control as three core methods of corporate environmental management.
