AbstractThe social responsibility debates of the last thirty years have resolved little and have had only peripheral effects on traditional business behaviour. Social responsibility issues are re‐emerging in the light of the environmental crisis and are far too important to be once again marginalised by traditional business thinking. Economic and environmental criteria will, increasingly, be in conflict and accountants ‐ like all business professionals ‐ are implicated in this, not least because it is accounting that defines the rules, keeps the score, announces the results and determines who shall see them.

摘要:

AbstractConcern about the nature and consequences of industrial progress has had an increasing impact on industry. Some commentators have suggested that environmental pressures will advance to the point where they cease to be one of the many strategic issues facing industry and become the very framework within which all other business issues are considered.This paper aims to address the implications of evolving environmental concern over the management of product development. It develops a conceptual framework to analyse the process of managing product development while taking into account the environmental attributes of products. The paper moves on to consider the implications of such a conceptual framework against the empirical evidence emerging about product development in the white goods industry. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the nature of organisational change in business as it adjusts to the environmental agenda and suggestions are made about the significance of the findings of this research to product development in other industries.

摘要:

AbstractThis paper focuses on the current environmental debate within Dutch society. A major recent development has been the establishment of the National Environmental Policy Plan. In the plan the government recognises that it cannot solve environmental crises through regulation and government measures alone. This paper considers the role of social sectors, and discusses innovation in policy consisting of greater communication with the relevant social actors. The limited reaction of Dutch industry, especially the chemical industry is analysed, and the paper concludes that better tools to measure environmental improvements in industry are needed.
