Greening Chinese Business: Barriers, Trends and Opportunities for Environmental Management

Ulrich Steger is with the International Institute for Management Development, Lausanne, Switzerland and Fang Zhaoben and Lu Weiare are from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Their unique book analyses and interprets Chinese managers' perceptions of environmental management and regulatory enforcement practices in Chinese enterprises. Most importantly, it identifies the bottlenecks to environmental protection in Chinese firms. It includes a detailed analysis of the needs for management training (for example, CEO and executive development and MBA education) in China and presents a road map of how they can be met. Finally, it presents two case studies that illustrate how Chinese corporations currently react to a wide range of different environmental challenges, including hardening regulatory pressure, competition and lack of capital.
