Case Studies in Sustainability Management and Strategy: The oikos collection

We are pleased to announce the publication of: Case Studies in Sustainability Management and Strategy: The oikos Collection. This 320 page textbook is based on the winning cases of the international oikos Case Writing Competition.

The cases explore both the opportunities and pitfalls companies and NGOs face in targeting sustainability issues and how their values and core assumptions impact their business strategies. They deal with a myriad of issues including supply chain management, stakeholder dialogue, social entrepreneurship, sustainable marketing, ethics, governance, the business case for sustainability, partnerships, purchasing and climate change.  All cases are accompanied by comprehensive teaching notes available to faculty.
