Measuring and Controlling Sustainability

<p>Efforts to establish the measurement and control of sustainability have produced notable tools but those instruments lack applicability in practice. Increasing the level of standardization of such tools also seems difficult to achieve because the contexts surrounding the focal organizations differ considerably. Therefore what we need is a systematic interdisciplinary assessment of how to measure and control sustainability so that we can establish an essential definition and up-to-date picture of the field. </p><p><em>Measuring and Controlling Sustainability</em> attempts to provide such an assessment in 17 chapters organized into four main topic sections: (a) organizations and social value creation: concepts responsibilities and barriers; (b) accounting measurement performance and diffusion of social value; (c) practical and managerial insights from real-life cases; and (d) choices incentives guidance and ethics.</p><p>This research anthology provides a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge theories and research that will further the development and advancement of measuring and controlling sustainable efforts in theory and managerial practice. </p>
