Sustainability has become a topic of global relevance: Corporations and othereconomically acting organizations increasingly need to realize economic, environmental and social objectives in order to survive. Supplementary to ‘classical’ environmental management, realizing corporate sustainability requires comprehensive approaches which allow the integration of social and economic aspects. Such concepts can be found e.g. in international excellence models mainly based on a TQM thinking but also in the field of human factors in organizational design and management. Understood as systems approaches, they include the interests of all relevant stakeholders with a mid- or long-term time perspectiveand are thus highly linked with the principles of sustainable development. Inthis book internationally leading scientists discuss the issue of sustainability from their perspective, resulting in an innovative view on different management approaches under the umbrella of corporate sustainability. INDICE: Part 1: Corporate Sustainability as a Challenge for Comprehensive Management.- Part 2: Comprehensive Management Concepts and Sustainable Excellence.- Part 3: Human Factors in Organizational Design and Management - CreatingSustainability.- Part 4: Sustainability as Challenge for Human Factors and Integrated Management Systems.
