CORPORATE ATTITUDES TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY STRATEGIES

摘要

Corporations hold a position of central importance in today's global political economy. Manyobservers therefore maintain that these iconic institutions must bear the main burden ofresponsibility for ensuring that development takes a more sustainable trajectory. This assertion ishotly disputed by those who harbour reservations about Big Businesses' intent and capacity inregards to such matters. The analysis of the changes in corporate behaviour since the 1960s revealsthat despite beginning to reset the business compass to some extent, issues of sustainability arebecoming more pressing and industry seems unable to keep pace with them.
