| description | Organizations face formidable obstacles to the institutionalization of
environmental management programmes. Longitudinal studies show that
companies face two major types of barriers to change: industry-specific
barriers, which affect all organizations in a line of business; and
organizational barriers, which are not specific to environmental
problems, but may impede a company′s capacity to deal with any form of
change. Evidence shows that these barriers can be overcome through
effective environmental management programmes. Argues that by overcoming
these barriers, organizations can move along an environmental
performance curve, consisting of phases involving adjustment to
regulatory and market realities; adaptation and anticipation of emerging
issues; and innovation in achieving economically and environmentally
sustainable performance through change programmes involving internal and
external elements. |
