Markus Hans-Peter Müller: Nature as Capital: Evolution or Revolution?, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

To what extent is it possible to see nature not as a risk and cost factor, but as a central form of capital for business success? Decision-makers in the 21st century should have an answer to this question. This book combines an analysis of the growing decoupling of the economy and ecosystems with practical instruments for integrating nature into strategic corporate management. It shows how a stronger focus on nature contributes to future viability and provides concrete approaches for making ecological complexity usable in a corporate context.
