In this book’s 27 chapters, international contributors in business administration, international business, organizational sciences, international economics, and industrial engineering share the
latest approaches, policies, and experiences for sustainable environmental and socio-economic development around the world. Written to be accessible to non-academics and non-specialists, the
book covers both general policies and specific environmental issues; themes are consumption, global trade, and transnational corporations. Of special interest is a comparison of renewable
energy use and policies across many countries. Other topics include organic cooperatives, sustainable consumption, energy efficiency policies in European countries, and financing energy and
low-carbon investment in Europe. Cases shed light on green growth in Central and South America, wind power in Brazil, wave energy in Turkey, sustainable enterprises in Bulgaria, and the Sri
Lankan apparel industry. B&w process diagrams and summary charts are included. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
