Our classification proposes six different maturity states: Environmental Compliance, Training, Systematization, ECO2, Eco-Innovation and Leading Green Company. Through collaborative modeling and surveys we develop a causal structure and behavior mode of an evolutionary process.

For firms that routinely work in high-threat, high-reward situations, the risks of innovation are particularly challenging. This paper presents a systems-based approach to ...

In the face of uncertain environmental futures, stewardship has become an important part of business training as well. How do we bring these worlds together? The University at Albany’s School of Business features a cornerstone, integrative, and innovative program that brings sustainability knowledge, global best practices, and cost justification to organizations. It provides an important conduit for the UAlbany School of Business to partner with local businesses. We envision an extension of this program that features libraries as facilitators of learning about sustainability, as linkages to the business and non‐profit communities, and as active consumers of sustainability practices.

Where do tomorrow’s managers learn the skills to perform these tasks today? This chapter describes a business ethics course that combines interactive technology with classroom learning. The State University of New York created the Sloan Learning Network to match hardware and software with administrative, technical, and educational staff. This course augments conventional campus courses by providing opportunities to interact outside class parameters. Traditional courses can apply elements of organizational learning theory to computer-supported cooperative work. We discuss how the classroom can become a learning organization with the use of enabling technology. We conclude with our future plans for using information technology to experience ethics in the business class and propose how to design similar course applications. In summary, you should encourag...
