Discussion: View Thread

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Cambridge University Press book series on Organizations and the Natural Environment, in collaboration with the Group of Research on Organization and the Natural Environment (GRONEN, gronenonline.org).

The first book in the series is now under contract from Professor Frances Bowen on the topic of Symbolic Corporate Environmentalism and we are keen to invite further proposals for scholarly monographs from researchers working in a number of fields allied to the following areas of inquiry.

The main goal of the book series is to publish monographs presenting cutting-edge research in three general areas: environmental management, environmental policy, and sustainability. Under these general areas of inquiry, we would seek scholarly contributions on multiple topics and research questions. These include (but are not restricted to) the following topics, listed in no particular order of priority:

General topics:

- Environmental policy and business
- Environmental technology innovation
- Environmental economics
- International business and environmental protection
- Environmental entrepreneurship
- Business, environmentalist and green social movement
- Green certification programs
- Organizational culture and corporate environmental management
- Green supply chain management
- Industrial ecology
- Green marketing
- Environmental accounting and finance
- Corporate sustainability theory
- Management of climate change mitigation and adaption

General research questions:

- What is an environmentally sustainable company, organization, and/or community?
- What is the definition and measurement of sustainability?
- What are the most reliable and valid measures of corporate and/or organizational environmental performance?
- What types of regulations are more effective/efficient at promoting enhanced environmental protections?
- Is industry self-regulation effective at promoting the greening of business?
- What are the determinants of higher green technology innovation?
- Under what conditions does it pay to be a green company?
- How do top management team characteristics affect the greening of business?
- How does country context characteristics affect corporate environmental performance?

 We welcome book proposals (single or multiple-authored, excluding edited collections) from scholars working in any of the social and natural sciences. General guidelines on the preparation of book proposals for Cambridge University Press are outlined at:

 Specific questions can be directed to the series editors and/or to Paula Parish,  Senior Commissioning Editor for Business & Management. Later in the summer, we plan to post general information about the book series at:
