The business case for environmental sustainability: embedding long-term strat...Ken Dooley
ABSTRACT Current environmental demands, such as the need to meet governmental climate change adaptation targets or to avoid future resource scarcities have created a business opportunity for firms that eschew business as usual and adopt ambitious environmentally focused systemic innovations. This article aims to present a clear business case for corporate environmental sustainability in order to increase investments in this area. The core focus is on the tangible economic benefits that can be realised through environmental strategies such as risk reduction and efficiency gains. The aim is to show that sustainability can be an opportunity rather than an obligation and that not only can environmental and economic performance be optimised simultaneously but that economic performance can be optimised through environmental strategies. It is expected that this approach shall increase competitive advantage while supporting climate change mitigation. The article also highlights the current drivers that provide motivation for environmental performance improvement such as global trends towards resource efficiency and the exposure to long term environmental risks. Sustainability is a multidimensional subject that involves a diverse range of operational processes and it is argued that a greater portion of sustainability resources should be invested in ambitious environmentally focused systemic innovations. This will enable sustainability to be strategically integrated into the core business practices. Embedded sustainability is the term used to describe a high level of sustainability integration.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

8. Get acquainted!
• Is this a typical first day who are you sheet?
• And what is that “bucket list” about?
• Trivia questions…
9. WHY?
• Why did YOU take this course? Your expectations?
– Quote: Are you content with just "business as usual" or are
you someone who is interested in business in changing the
world?
– We're looking for people like you - people not content to
do things the way they've always been done, the
disrupters, innovators and visionary entrepreneurs.
Leaders who think differently and know there's a better
way to do business, and who are ready to embark on a
business education that will prepare them to live
differently, lead differently and profit differently.
• Why Environmental Sustainability?
• Why China?
10. HOW?
• Powerpoint but that is not key
• No text but parts of several books on LEARN
• Lots of interaction
• Not much lecture
11. Learning resources?
• Instructor. We have academic qualifications, experience, etc. But
think about it: for SURE each person in the class knows things the
instructor does not know. So, you will learn from…
• Classmates. You will discuss topics in class, and provide actual
business examples
• PowerPoint slides. Subject to change of course
• Daily life! Read newspapers, watch leaders at your work
• Cases! The main instructional resource in this class
1-11
12. PowerPoint slides great. However,
• PowerPoint? Yes, but avoid overreliance on
PowerPoint, and slides will change
• Others worry about PowerPoint too, including
the US Military
• One Wall Street Journal article had the headline
–“Death by PowerPoint”
• Another article (New York Times) had these
comments:

13. “PowerPoint makes us stupid”
Brig. Gen. H. R. McMaster, who banned
PowerPoint presentations, likened PowerPoint to
an internal threat. “It’s dangerous because it
can create the illusion of understanding and the
illusion of control,” General McMaster said.
“Some problems in the world are not bullet-
sizable.”

19. Learning with Cases
in a “case” you identify who needs help or
advice, you analyze, then you recommend.
to a large extent this is a CASE course. You may
want to look up “how to do cases” in Google.
OR, look at the following slides.
20. What Is a Case?
• A description of an actual situation, commonly
involving a decision, a challenge, an opportunity,
a problem or an issue faced by a person (or
persons) in an organization.
• Allows you to step figuratively into the position of
a particular decision maker.
• Field-based with the visit of an organization and
collects the data.
• The product of a carefully thought-out process.
21. Why Do We Do Cases?
• Examine real life situations
• Practice our analytical tools
• Engage in discussion of issues/answers
• Develop professional attitudes
22. Inventory of Skills Developed by the
Case Method
• Analytical skills
• Decision making skills
• Application skills
• Oral communication skills
• Time management skills
• Interpersonal or social skills
• Creative skills
• Written communication skills
23. Case analysis? What NOT to do
• Do NOT update the case
• Do NOT rehash the case, simply giving the
reader a condensed version of the case
• Do NOT go to the web. BUT if you cannot
resist, go ahead, but FOR SURE any phrase you
copy, say exactly where and put in quotes.
• Following may help in TEAM case study
23
24. Analyzing a company issue,
analyzing a case - 7 Steps (ONE author says)
• Defining the issue (or issues, preferably one)
• Analyzing case data with focus on causes and
effects as well as constraints and opportunities
• Generating alternatives
• Selecting decision criteria
• Analyzing and evaluating alternatives
• Selecting the preferred alternative
• Developing an action and implementation plan
25. 25
Analyzing Data
• Causes and Effects
– To work backward to determine what may be the “root”
causes.

28. Deliverables
• Issue identification
note: Issue identification is KEY TO case analysis!
What is the main thing needing attention? If you do
not say what needs working on, your suggestions
will be hard to evaluate
• Analysis and alternatives
• Recommendations for action
– Another note: a KEY point!
• Implementation plans
29. Defining the Issues
• Produce a clear and comprehensive statement
of the issue(s) involved in the case.
• Clearly identified key concern(s), problem(s),
decision(s), challenge(s) or opportunity(ies).
• 3 things to be considered:
– Immediate and basic issues
– Importance
– Urgency
30. Generating Alternatives
• Be creative and think widely
• Consider constraints and opportunities
• Be realistic and plausible
31. Selecting Decision Criteria
• Provide the basis for evaluation or assessment measures
• Common decision criteria:
– Quantitative:
• profit, cost, return on investment, market share, capacity,
delivery time, risk, cash flow, inventory turn, productivity,
staff turnover, time to complete, growth rate, quantity
– Qualitative:
• competitive advantage, customer satisfaction, employee
morale corporate image, ease of implementation, synergy,
ethics, flexibility, safety, visual appeal, obsolescence, cultural
sensitivity, motivation, goodwill
32. Analyzing and Evaluating
Alternatives
• List the key advantages and disadvantages of
each alternative.
• Compare and contrast each alternative against
the selected criteria
• Short vs long term
• Predicting outcomes
• Quantitative vs qualitative analysis
– note: all sounds good, but a bit theoretical.
33. Developing an Action and
Implementation Plan
• Be specific
• Focus to produce the advantages and minimize
the disadvantages
• Planning the implementation
– Provides a schedule and milestones for the action
plan.
– Provides the measures or signals for the progress.

46. LAB ASSIGNMENT 26 June 2014
Two pieces of BAD NEWS!!! Humans are messing up the environment, and it’s scary. What sort of things we
humans have done to screw up our planet? Each team will find TWO news items or blog entries or ?? showing
BAD NEWS about the environment.
One BAD NEWS example should be about something in China. This can be from a source anywhere in the world
One piece of BAD NEWS, using an example from ASSIGNED REGION. This can be from any source WITHIN YOUR
ASSIGNED REGION.
You will make 2 short “bad news” reports, perhaps two or three slides each. You may follow a format such as
1.Here’s an example, a piece of BAD news about the environment in China:
Title of article or web site:
Reference, exact place where we can see this item:
A short excerpt from the article or web site to give you an idea about this topic:
Our brief (around 100 words?) reaction or comment IN OUR OWN WORDS
A PHOTO or short video illustrating bad news about environment. Photo may be related to the article above or
possibly unrelated, your choice. Again, show exact source, and give your brief reason for selecting this photo
2. Here’s an example, a piece of BAD news about the environment in ______:

possibly unrelated, your choice. Again, show exact source, and give your brief reason for selecting this photo
47. Two pieces of GOOD NEWS
Humans are starting to wake up! At least from this example, we can see some positive actions are happening to
save the environment. We repeat the exercise from above, but look on the bright side.
One GOOD NEWS example should be about something in China. This can be from a source anywhere in the
world. One piece of GOOD NEWS, using an example from ASSIGNED REGION. This can be from any source
WITHIN YOUR ASSIGNED REGION.
3.Here’s an example, a piece of GOOD news about the environment in China:

48. result of lab project?
Your specific news/examples should be fairly recent (2009 or newer). You
can Google the news, or look at magazines or newspapers via databases
like ProQuest or WiseNews. The news/examples will come from China (1
and 3) OR for 2 and 4 will come from the area of the world listed below:
Examples for 2 and 4 will come from
Team 1: Asia but not China
Team 2: Europe
Team 3: Africa or the Middle East
Team 4: The Americas (but not the USA. Could include the Arctic)
Team 5: Australia/Oceana. Could include Antarctica
Team 6: USA
End result? Each team will post 4 reports on LEARN. There will be a place
for BAD news from China, GOOD news from China, BAD news from the
rest of the world and GOOD news from the rest of the world.
49. Bad news, good news
Everywhere in the world, environment issues
China seems to have all kinds of problems
Everywhere in the world, there is good news
Even in China, there is good news

• Prior to China’s Open Door Policy in the late 1970s,
only two types of firms: state-owned enterprises
(SOEs) and collectively-owned enterprises (COEs) (Peng
et al., 2004).
• SOEs dominate entire sectors of China's economy, and
are frequently the recipients of favourable loans and
treatment from the government (Li, Sun, & Liu, 2006;
Riley, 2013). They are usually large and complex, with
slack resources.
• In 2012, 54 Chinese SOEs made it into the Fortune 500.
66. POEs
• Emerged in the 1980s due to the decentralisation policy in the 1980s
(Li & Yang, 2006).
• Usually operating in a less favourable environment. For example, they
were denied entrance to certain industries, such as petrochemical and
telecommunication, paid higher taxes, and had limited access to loans
from state banks (Ralston et al., 2006).
• Were unburdened of their previous social responsibilities, and in some
cases, became polluting and socially negligent in terms of health and
safety standards (Wang & Juslin, 2009; Young, 2002).
• POEs contribute 60 percent to China's GDP (Moody & Chen, 2013).
Many contemporary POEs are driven by affluent entrepreneurs and
some are started as collectives (Ralston et al., 2006).
67. MNCs
• Wholly-owned foreign companies and Sino-foreign
venture ventures have flourished in China in the late
70s.
• Eyeing China’s 1.3 billion population and its low cost
workforce, MNCs have invested mostly in the
manufacturing sector (more than 60% of the FDI
volume), followed by the real estate sector (about a
quarter of the FDI volume), and the distribution sector
(less than 6%) (China-Invest, 2009).
• Compared to domestic Chinese companies, foreign
invested enterprises are more likely to follow foreign
culture and values, and employees are more likely to
experience western management styles (Ralston et al.,
2006).
68. JVs
• Under joint venture partnerships, the Chinese
partners usually provide land, buildings, and local
knowledge and network (guanxi), while the
foreign partners contribute technology, know-
how, capital, management expertise, and
goodwill (Ralston et al., 2006).
• Depending on the nature of the partnership,
some JVs may be driven by short-term profit
maximisation, whereas others may be more
influenced by long-term sustainable
development.

76. LAB ASSIGNMENT 26 June 2014
Two pieces of BAD NEWS!!! Humans are messing up the environment, and it’s scary. What sort of things we
humans have done to screw up our planet? Each team will find TWO news items or blog entries or ?? showing
BAD NEWS about the environment.
One BAD NEWS example should be about something in China. This can be from a source anywhere in the world
One piece of BAD NEWS, using an example from ASSIGNED REGION. This can be from any source WITHIN YOUR
ASSIGNED REGION.
You will make 2 short “bad news” reports, perhaps two or three slides each. You may follow a format such as
1.Here’s an example, a piece of BAD news about the environment in China:
Title of article or web site:
Reference, exact place where we can see this item:
A short excerpt from the article or web site to give you an idea about this topic:
Our brief (around 100 words?) reaction or comment IN OUR OWN WORDS
A PHOTO or short video illustrating bad news about environment. Photo may be related to the article above or
possibly unrelated, your choice. Again, show exact source, and give your brief reason for selecting this photo
2. Here’s an example, a piece of BAD news about the environment in ______:

Everywhere in the world, environment issues
China seems to have all kinds of problems
Everywhere in the world, there is good news
Even in China, there is good news
81. Lab assignments
• What key environmental challenges received
most attention?
• Good news, where?
• Bad news, where?
• Optimistic or Pessimistic? WHY?
82.
83. KPMG article - Let’s think…

• 378 senior execs (“very” senior)
• Plus desk research and interviews
• The results? Pages 15 to 29
87. Conclusions? Seven steps
• Use scenario planning to identify potential
risks to your business—and new opportunities
to exploit
• Set ambitious targets—and lead by example
• Start measuring environmental inputs and
productivity across your business
• Tap into employee engagement—both
internally, and across business partners
88. KPMG conclusions? 3 more steps

Team 6: USA
what stands out? Any problem seen everywhere?
102. 24 reports, 6 teams. Here are 6:
Basically Illegible but may help you remember
104. Reflection papers: good news bad news?
AMAZING set of papers! REALLY impressive!
The Climate Change issue: You see bad news and
good news
Bad news: climate is changing
Bad news: average person doesn’t care, or worse
Good news: Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth woke us up
105. Good points in EVERY paper!
• Julia Schaller: fantastic job of…
• *Chimene: 12 experts say… published in…
• Matt: Nov ‘14 we may send to Congress:
• Hanne: Dr Rignot says…

111. Where is the problem now?
Where will it be in 20 years?
America has 4% of the world’s population and consumes
24% of the resources and is the largest producer of
carbon dioxide (CO2). China was the second largest
producer of carbon dioxide and the largest producer of
sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the world. Today’s case says:

• Back to Al Gore, former US Vice President:
What’s the worst that could happen? If China
pollutes as much per capita as the US, then?
113. why worry about global warming??
we’re improving! But, if too late?
• Passenger pigeon: “the most plentiful creature
ever to inhabit the earth”
• 1600: nine billion (9,000,000,000) in North
America
• 1890s: started to fix the problem (overhunting, not
pollution)
• but: TOO LATE! Last one died 1914. EXTINCT
• The point of this story: will we start to fix the NEXT
problem too late? (such as global climate change)
113
115. Or the trend may
be irreversible.
In the passenger
Pigeon case, the
result was
EXTINCTION
Don’t start fixing a problem too late!

117. Tipping point? More reflections
• Melody: film became a turning point…
• Carl: the part I liked was at the end…
• Martin: governments CAN act: the harbor
118. Possible lifetime question, for YOU
• (this may also be a nice final exam question)
• How bad is the environmental situation?
– A: V V V bad especially climate change
– A: US was the worst, but China now leading!
• So, is there no hope?
– A: there IS hope! Do not quit this class now!
– A: even in China we found good news

120. PESTLE – a popular tool in strategy
• Political
• Economic
• Social
• Technological
• Legal
• Ecological
Could talk about China on each one, but…
Briefly # 3, # 1 and 2 combined
121. Types of firms?
• Privately owned?
• Privately owned publically traded, “listed”?
• Etc etc
• What types do we see in your home nation?
• What do we see in China?
• Might we expect one type to be more green?

Ralston, David A., et al (2006). Today’s state-owned enterprises of China: Are they dying
dinosaurs or dynamos? Strategic Management Journal, 27: 825-843, esp. 832-34
• Prior to China’s Open Door Policy in the late 1970s,
only two types of firms: state-owned enterprises
(SOEs) and collectively-owned enterprises (COEs) (Peng
et al., 2004).
• SOEs dominate entire sectors of China's economy, and
are frequently the recipients of favourable loans and
treatment from the government (Li, Sun, & Liu, 2006;
Riley, 2013). They are usually large and complex, with
slack resources.
• In 2012, 54 Chinese SOEs made it into the Fortune 500.
124. POEs
• Emerged in the 1980s due to the decentralisation policy in the 1980s
(Li & Yang, 2006).
• Usually operating in a less favourable environment. For example, they
were denied entrance to certain industries, such as petrochemical and
telecommunication, paid higher taxes, and had limited access to loans
from state banks (Ralston et al., 2006).
• Were unburdened of their previous social responsibilities, and in some
cases, became polluting and socially negligent in terms of health and
safety standards (Wang & Juslin, 2009; Young, 2002).
• POEs contribute 60 percent to China's GDP (Moody & Chen, 2013).
Many contemporary POEs are driven by affluent entrepreneurs and
some are started as collectives (Ralston et al., 2006).
125. MNCs
• Wholly-owned foreign companies and Sino-foreign
venture ventures have flourished in China in the late
70s.
• Eyeing China’s 1.3 billion population and its low cost
workforce, MNCs have invested mostly in the
manufacturing sector (more than 60% of the FDI
volume), followed by the real estate sector (about a
quarter of the FDI volume), and the distribution sector
(less than 6%) (China-Invest, 2009).
• Compared to domestic Chinese companies, foreign
invested enterprises are more likely to follow foreign
culture and values, and employees are more likely to
experience western management styles (Ralston et al.,
2006).
126. JVs
• Under joint venture partnerships, the Chinese
partners usually provide land, buildings, and local
knowledge and network (guanxi), while the
foreign partners contribute technology, know-
how, capital, management expertise, and
goodwill (Ralston et al., 2006).
• Depending on the nature of the partnership,
some JVs may be driven by short-term profit
maximisation, whereas others may be more
influenced by long-term sustainable
development.
128. Exam?
• Closed book, no notes, 30 minutes, paper and
pen, no electronics
• Answer 3 questions, briefly (only 30 minutes)
• Will have some choice (probably 3 out of 4)
• Review syllabus, things on LEARN up to 4 July

• Wheelen and Hunger pages help explain
• Will look at this Thursday July 10
• The Hart article good place to start today
• Will look at Hart Tuesday July 8
147. Hart et al., 2003. Academy of Management Executive.
Creatingsustainable value
“For most firms, the pursuit of enterprise
sustainability remains difficult to reconcile with the
objective of increasing shareholder value”. p.57
Is that TRUE? Remember the China Mobile Case
148. Hart sees problems
• Many! Invididuals, firms, societies
• Find one?
• Reflections had similar, including - - - - - - - - - -
• But Hart turns this positive (later)
149. Hart ends up positive
• Not everybody is optimistic
• We mentioned several videos day 1 including
The story of stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLBE5QAYXp8&feature=kp
Tragedy of the commons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZDjPnzoge0
Someday . . .
150. Midterm?
• no book no notes no iPads no phones
• answer 3 of 4, short essay questions
• 30 minutes so 10 minute per question
• graded pass/fail. Hopefully all pass
151. 4 . We looked at China Mobile and
at Interface. Choose ONE of these
firms and discuss how these cases
can help us learn about strategies
for environmental sustainability.

179. Sustainable Value: A Huge Opportunity
• Growing Profits and Reducing Risk Through
Pollution Prevention (e.g. Chevron, 3M)
• Enhancing Reputation and Legitimacy Through
Product Stewardship (e.g. Collins & Aikman
Floorcoverings, Nike)
• Accelerating Innovation and Repositioning
Through Clean Technology (e.g. Toyota, Honda,
Dupont)
• Crystallizing the Firm's Growth Path and
Trajectory Through a Sustainability Vision (e.g.
Grameen Bank, Unilever)
180. Timothy F. Slaper, Ph.D. The Triple Bottom Line:
What Is It and How Does It Work?
Indiana University, Kelley School of Business
• The TBL (John Elkington) is an accounting
framework that incorporates three
dimensions of performance: social,
environmental and financial.
• Growing interest across governments, non-
profit organizations and businesses.
181. Environmental Measures
• represent measurements of natural resources and reflect
potential influences to its viability.
Specific examples include:
• Sulfur dioxide concentration
• Concentration of nitrogen oxides
• Selected priority pollutants
• Excessive nutrients
• Electricity consumption
• Fossil fuel consumption
• Solid waste management
• Hazardous waste management
• Change in land use/land cover
182.
183. Managing stakeholders
• Who are stakeholders?
• Remember one recommendation for China
Mobile
– Change the organizational culture
– Engaging consumers
• For Interface Inc.
– Cultivating a sustainable culture by engaging
employees
184. If BIG, be ready for criticism
• Who makes BIG Mac? Always criticized!
• Wal-Mart? Same. Critics everywhere
• It’s the Real Thing? Water in India, etc etc

185. A mini-case: BEER
• The environment! VERY important to a beer
company. You have done many things to make
the manufacturing process as clean as possible,
to insure your employees know the significance
of environmental protection, and you even help
educate the public in your company museum,
part of your very very popular company tours
186. A mini-case: BEER
• Now your Chinese company has been purchased
by a big multinational firm, so you are part of a
global business. Now you also have to consider
global environmental ideas and standards.
• Can you think of other things you might do
related to the environment?
187. Stakeholders?
Who are the stakeholders of a beer company?
List 4 or 5 most important groups of
stakeholders
Are there stakeholders the company should pay
special attention to?
188. What you see on our factory tour
4-188
All photos
from
company
tour June
2010
196. If BIG, be ready for criticism
• firm A does the following:
Require suppliers to care about chemicals, water, etc
Requires distributors to care for environment
Use waste products for bio-tech, animal feed, art
Train all employees on carbon footprint, CO2 issues
Plan for clean packaging, water based ink, recycle etc
Clean all waste water. Law says below 500, we go to 60
And we TELL THE WORLD!
4-196
197. Stakeholders?
You have done a great job! It was not easy, but your
beer company cleaned up production, changed the
culture, and even included “environment” in your
company museum. But now a group calling itself
“Green Choice Consumer Action” has asked your
company to hire their recommended “water testing”
company “to certify” how clean you are. It would
cost LOTS of money, and you already exceed all
governmental requirements, and much more. But
they are “stakeholders.” So you have to consider the
request. Hmmmmm…..
199. thanks to firm, tell GA get lost?
• Hulpke idea, we SHOULD say thanks
• We should support good companies
• And if companies do good, then stakeholders
will appreciate, right?
• Answer: no
• Especially if you are big
• And good news isn’t news, BAD news is news.
So, media loves bad news. CNN?
4-199
200. Solution?
• Don’t let this happen!
• Rondinelli has many useful ideas
• [ran short on time here, postpone Rondinelli]

220. Presentations: some thoughts
MESSAGE most important but . .
• In case competitions, presentations KEY
• This class: all teams can improve
• Can add life, interaction
• Possibly add video clips (case comp: if SHORT)
• In Q and A….
• More thots from points posted on LEARN
221. Preparing slides
choose top 3 or 4 points (ideally)
limit number of slides
simplify, limit number of words
avoid all capital letters
use photos, charts and graphs
make sure presentation runs on any computer
222. before presenting
Know your material
Rehearse
Know the room
Know the equipment
Know your presentation
Copy presentation to desktop BEFORE NEEDED
Backup: print, flash drive, email
http://presentationsoft.about.com/od/powerpointinbusiness/tp/bus_pres_ti
ps.htm
223. while presenting
Watch timing
Use remote control
Look at audience not at slides
Keep audience focused, interested
All team support presenter: look at presenter
Bottom line: all good, all can be better
224. Thoughts for “questioning team”
• Not terrible but could be much better
• Make sure each member of QUESTIONING team
knows case
• Each should think of questions BEFORE class
• If question not satisfactorily answered, probe
• This should make LEARNING better for all
– OK back to today July 10! Rondinelli Article
225. Dennis A. Rondinelli and Ted London 2003
How corporations and Environmental groups
cooperate: Assessing cross sector alliances and
collaborations
• How has the relationship between NPOs and
businesses changed?
• Why are corporations and NPOs collaborating
on environmental activities?
• How to manage cross-sector collaborations
effectively?
226. improving cross sector alliances and collaboration
• tension and mutual distrust.
• “Corporate relationships with nonprofit
organizations and corporate involvement in
public problem solving have broadened and
deepened in both content and form in recent
years” p.62
• Partnerships range from low-intensity "arm's-
length" relationships to highly interactive
collaborations
227. WHY collaborate?
• NPOs can be a source of knowledge and
information
• environmental responsibility is an increasingly
important issue for stakeholders
• opportunities for cost savings, plus better
– community relations, access to political and
strategic, scientific & technical information, and
environmental programs
228. HOW to manage cross-sector
collaborations effectively?
• identify specific projects for collaboration
• transparency of criteria for partner selection
• develop mutually acceptable procedures for
collaboration (for judging relational risk)
• measure, monitor, and review performance
throughout the partnership
• focus on a manageable set of tasks that can be
implemented quickly
• maintain confidentiality and build trust
230. What about China?
• Parts of study by Cubie Lau to be presented
August, Academy of Management, USA
• What are firms in China doing about NPOs?
• Fine print, but we will explain big picture
234. a HOT topic: SWOT analysis, helps in identifying
Opportunities
SWOT analysis
Analysis of an organization’s strengths,
weaknesses (internal), opportunities, and threats
(external) in order to identify a strategic niche that
the organization can exploit
SWOT overlaps EXTERNAL and INTERNAL
analysis. You will see SWOT often
235. The Theory Behind Internal Analysis
The Resource-Based View
• developed to answer the question: Why do some
firms achieve better economic performance
than others?
• assumes that a firm’s resources and capabilities
are the primary drivers of competitive advantage
and economic performance
• used to help firms achieve competitive advantage
and superior economic performance
236. The Resource-Based View
Resources and Capabilities
Resources:
• tangible and intangible assets of a firm
» tangible: factories, products intangible: reputation
• used to conceive of and implement strategies
Capabilities:
• a subset of resources that enable a firm to
take full advantage of other resources
» marketing skill, cooperative relationships
237. The Resource-Based View
Resources and Capabilities
Firm Assets:
Machinery
Collective Product Design Skill
Recruiting Skill
Engineering Skill of Individuals
Mineral Deposits
Are these resources
or capabilities?
?
?
?
?
?
238. The Resource-Based View
Four Categories of Resources (Barney and Hesterly, 2012)
• Financial (cash, retained earnings)
• Physical (plant & equipment, geographic location)
• Human (skills & abilities of individuals)
• Organizational (reporting structures, relationships)
239. In-class exercise – Warby Parker
• What are some of the key capabilities of
Warby Parker?

243. Today’s BIG job:
• Each team choose firm, preliminary outline
• Syllabus says
– Class will discuss cases in groups, and each group
will analyze environmental issues facing one
Chinese company
– Syllabus gives possible title: XYZ Corporation and
the Environment: Past, Present, and Future
Today, choose, first come first served
Not a firm already covered in class
A firm IN CHINA (possible interpretation)

256. Reflection?
• People see the importance of sustainability differently
• We need animateurs/leaders, they could be
– Local line managers
– Internal net-workers
– Managers of specialty functions
– Executive leaders
• “For something as big and complex as sustainability,
making the effort a team exercise is crucial”
– Search for like-mined people
– Engage your internal stakeholders first
– Build shared visions
– Continually create new ideas and engage essential players
257. Mini-cases – No idea??
• Vanke?
• Haier?
• Nine Dragon lady?
• Suntech
• Baosteel
• http://cloudinstitute.org/fish-game
• The Fish Game was used against this background, to
communicate the role of servant leadership in resource
mobilization and sustainability; to demonstrate the power of
unselfish leadership in economic development, and the power
of collaboration and re-union between the government and the
people of Kenya in resource mobilization, utilization and
sustainability
258. Maybe something like ??? A dialogue
about implementing a green initiative
• Maybe an exercise with a controversial
scenario?
• Oppositions from different employees..
• How to win their support?
260. Final thought on group project?
• Is the company interesting to YOU?
• What issues do you want to discuss?
• Can you find relevant information from
primary and/or secondary sources?
• Is your final project outline ready now?

276. Personal Vision Statement
How you will integrate what you learn in this class
into your life? In a maximum of one page, reflect on
your own current and future career choices and
possible linkages between those prospects and who
you are. In other words, please develop a five and
ten year goal of where you see yourself, and then
describe the path that you might take to reach
those goals.
(excerpted and adapted from “Ethics, Values and Sustainability” syllabus by Tom Eggert, University of Wisconsin, downloaded
from caseplace.org)
277. personal values important
The intent of this assignment is for you to consider
potential futures for yourself. Your futures could include
things like additional school, your job, a description of
what your ideal job looks like, where you want to live,
what kind of family life would you choose, and what
responsibilities do you see yourself taking on.
Importantly, it should include a vision statement of the
kind of person you hope to be and how you intend to
lead your life, lead others, lead your organization and
lead sustainably within society. Basically, this is a plan
on where your life is going over the next 10 years.
278. Why are things not easy?
• Another minicase
• Learn from an old classic economics story:
the tragedy of the commons
279. Commons Dilemma
• Harvest from a common resource pool
• “Tragedy of the Commons”
– Open access to a common parcel of land on which herdsmen’s cattle
grazes
– Each individual herdsman has interest to keep as many cattle as possible
on the commons
– The commons is damaged as a result

280. What can happen when individual self interest threatens
collective well being? A Real Example: Small Village in the Netherlands;
Population 150, Winter 1978/1979
280
photo not a small village,
but it gives you the idea,
lots of snow
281. SNOW! Big trouble ahead. UNLESS,
they take your advice
• In the Winter of 1978/1979 due to unusually heavy snow, a
small village in the Netherlands was completely cut off from the
rest of country: no electricity for light, heating, television, etc.
However, one of the 150 inhabitants owned a generator that
could provide sufficient electricity for all the people in this small
community if and only if they exercised restraint in their energy
use.
• Please come up with four ideas that may help the village to be
collectively better off (and not to let the generator collapse).
281
282. Actual energy use in each
house:
Burning several lights
Heated water
Heating to 21 degrees
Watching TV
Required energy use for the
generator not to collapse:
Only one light per household
No heated water
Heating to 18 degrees
Curtains closed
282
Generator collapsed. Most people used hot water, lived comfortably at
21 degrees Celsius, watched TV, and used several lights. After being
without electricity for a while citizens repaired the generator, and this
time appointed inspectors to check whether people were using more
electricity than agreed. But even then, the generator eventually
collapsed due to overuse of energy. Again, all inhabitants suffered
from the cold and lack of light, and of course, no TV.
Did they take your advice?
What happened then?
283. What can happen when individual self
interest damages collective well being?
A small planet, in a small solar system. We’d like to save this
planet, as (so far as is known) it is the only planet to have
chocolate, so this planet is certainly worth saving
In the long run everyone would benefit from a cleaner
environment, yet how many are prepared to voluntarily
reduce their carbon footprint by saving more energy or
driving or flying less frequently?
• But, what if things we do individually will burn out the
planet’s generator? Will we all freeze in the dark?
• Well good news! We WON’T FREEZE!
• (But we may bake). Do not forget our discussion on climate change
283
285. 285
• the sum total of all activities and choices required for
the execution of a strategic plan
We need to think about:
• Who are the people to carry out the strategic plan?
• What must be done to align company operations in
the intended direction?
• How is everyone going to work together to do what
is needed?
• When

305. To think about: The Story of Stuff
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLBE5QAYXp8
• What are some of the major problems discussed in the video?
Business level
Society level
Individual level
306. The Story of Stuff: second thoughts
• QUESTION: Anything mentioned or implied in video you disagree with?
• Story of Stuff is NOT balanced, but gives things to think about
• Is “consumption” the problem?
• Remember quote, US Council of Economic Advisors: America needed to SHOP
SHOP SHOP? Annie Leonard thought that was insane. Was it? When was that
statement made?
• What is Europe saying about consumption? Should we “keep it down” or do we
rejoice when we see signs of consumers buying buying buying? Next two slides
307. iPhone 5 to boost US GDP 1/3 to 1/2%?
news: Michael Feroli, the chief economist at JPMorgan
Chase, estimated that the iPhone 5 could add one-quarter
to one-half of a percentage point to the annualized growth
rate of America’s gross domestic product next quarter…
sales of iPhone 5 could boost Q4 GDP by $3.2 billion, or
$12.8 billion at an annual rate. This would boost
annualized GDP growth in Q4 by 0.33%-point. Our Q4
GDP growth projection is 2.0%.
How might Annie Leonard react to this story?
How might President Obama react?
How might Hulpke’s brother Mike react?
So, is consumption, that golden arrow, the enemy?
308. “Sector shows strong growth potential
amid rising domestic consumption”
China Daily 12 September 2102 Li Jiabao
“Li Na, a young teacher in Changsha, Hunan province, finally got her iPad 2 recently after
making a down payment of 1,800 yuan ($283) and paying monthly installments of 416
yuan over the next year. The teacher, who doesn't have a credit card, found about the
loan - which came with a fee of 25.7 percent of the price the iPad - from a saleswoman at
a electronics store. Li is one of the 1.75 million clients of Home Credit, a Czech financial
company that has tapped China's consumer finance market. Analysts say that the market
is set to boom in the coming years supported by increasing personal incomes and the
government's efforts to expand domestic consumption.
"China is now shifting the driving force of its GDP growth from investment to
domestic consumption… “ in line with the “government's plan to stimulate
overall domestic consumption.” [End of quotes from China Daily]
yes, there are side effects of “consumption.” But if China’s economy falters, the world will
face serious economic problems. CONSUMPTION is one answer. The Story of Stuff misses
that. Next question, how to CONSUME without DESTROYING THE PLANET
309. The Story of Stuff and critics
• There is more to criticize, not just Golden Arrow. Video full of errors
• One critique that makes me think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5uJgG05xUY (we
will check part I, 8:45 to 10:50)
• This critique not balanced either! Neither is Glenn Beck, another critic
• The truth? Probably somewhere in the middle.
• yes, there are side effects of “consumption.” But if China’s economy falters, the
world will face serious economic problems. If the US does not recover, my
brother Mike has no job. CONSUMPTION is one answer. The Story of Stuff misses
that. Next question, how to CONSUME without DESTROYING THE PLANET.

322. Interesting observations
In past recruits not so concerned about a company’s environmental
record. Today interested in sustainability, esp younger generation.
Lots of job opportunities in sustainability. eg, BASF: hiring PR person
with a good understanding of sustainability, a PR manager who
understands sustainability
consulting jobs
Recruitment
Headhunters
Internal promotion
Referrals
Application letters (In recruitment process, we fill out a
questionnaire, what should steel industry head for, and have four
choices to pick to see if you share the same value as xxx etc etc.)
Networking plus cold calls

325. Think about…
• How should developing countries manage their
natural resources (i.e., air, water, rain forests,
agricultural land, etc.) in an environmentally
sustainable manner?
• Why do their behaviors matter?
• How can the developed world and their firms
help the developing world to go green?
326. What types of firms Tuesday? Today?
• Types of ownership? Drivers to go green?
– Vanke
– Tsingtao Beer
– SAIC
• Same questions for today?
– Nine Dragons paper
– Lenovo
– Midea
327. Added thots on UNGC:
A troubling observation
• We asked students, what areas most important
to you?
• Survey given in Germany, US, Hong Kong, Sri
Lanka, Singapore, Ireland and now in Denmark
• Key question was, “do interests differ globally?”
• Almost as an aside, an afterthought, we asked,
“how much do you know about UNGC?”
328. LEADERS OF TOMORROW: where should we put our emphasis?
What do you think? As tomorrow’s leaders, you will decide the role of business in society. The United Nations
Global Compact lists TEN areas where it says businesses should be responsible. In your own opinion, which of
these ten are MOST IMPORTANT?
Businesses should… (CIRCLE ONE OR TWO OR THREE OR FOUR)
Principle 1: support and respect human rights
Principle 2: make sure they are not complicit in human rights abuses
Principle 3: uphold freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
Principle 4: support the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour
Principle 5: support the abolition of child labour
Principle 6: support the elimination of discrimination in employment
Principle 7: support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges
Principle 8: undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility
Principle 9: encourage development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies
Principle 10: work against corruption in all forms, including extortion and bribery
Have you heard of this United Nations Global Compact before?
No, I do not recall ever hearing of this before
I think I have heard of it but am not familiar with it
Yes, I have heard of it and know generally what it is trying to do
I know about this United Nations Global Compact
I am VERY familiar with the United Nations Global Compact
THANX! Your opinions will be combined with others and presented at a conference. To help organize the
hundreds of surveys please tell me the following:
Your nationality (where is your passport from):
Countries where you have lived (for one month or more)….
329. Have you heard of this United Nations
Global Compact before?
No, I do not recall ever hearing of this before 55%
I think I have heard of it but am not familiar with it
41%
Yes, I have heard of it and know generally what
it is trying to do 1%
I know about this United Nations Global Compact 1%
I am VERY familiar with the United Nations Global
Compact 1%
330. to convince businesses to think
about sustainability
• Ethics?
• Law?
• Voluntary action by corporations?
– Especially “ Multi Stakeholder Initiatives” such as
the UNGC?
• Ethics? Results not impressive so far
• Law? Worse
• MSIs, the biggest of which is UNGC? Maybe,
but if nobody knows about it . . .
331. More topics 24 July
• Story of Stuff: takeaways, plus afterthots
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLBE5QAYXp8
• major problems discussed in video
– Business level
– Society level
– Individual level
332. The Story of Stuff: second thoughts
• QUESTION: Anything mentioned or implied in video you disagree with?
• Story of Stuff is NOT balanced, but gives things to think about
• Is “consumption” the problem?
• Remember quote, US Council of Economic Advisors: America needed to SHOP
SHOP SHOP? Annie Leonard thought that was insane. Was it? When was that
statement made?
• What is Europe saying about consumption? Should we “keep it down” or do we
rejoice when we see signs of consumers buying buying buying? Next two slides
333. iPhone 5 to boost US GDP 1/3 to 1/2%?
news: Michael Feroli, the chief economist at JPMorgan
Chase, estimated that the iPhone 5 could add one-quarter
to one-half of a percentage point to the annualized growth
rate of America’s gross domestic product next quarter…
sales of iPhone 5 could boost Q4 GDP by $3.2 billion, or
$12.8 billion at an annual rate. This would boost
annualized GDP growth in Q4 by 0.33%-point. Our Q4
GDP growth projection is 2.0%.
How might Annie Leonard react to this story?
How might President Obama react?
How might Hulpke’s brother Mike react?
So, is consumption, that golden arrow, the enemy?
334. “Sector shows strong growth potential
amid rising domestic consumption”
China Daily 12 September 2102 Li Jiabao
“Li Na, a young teacher in Changsha, Hunan province, finally got her iPad 2 recently after
making a down payment of 1,800 yuan ($283) and paying monthly installments of 416
yuan over the next year. The teacher, who doesn't have a credit card, found about the
loan - which came with a fee of 25.7 percent of the price the iPad - from a saleswoman at
a electronics store. Li is one of the 1.75 million clients of Home Credit, a Czech financial
company that has tapped China's consumer finance market. Analysts say that the market
is set to boom in the coming years supported by increasing personal incomes and the
government's efforts to expand domestic consumption.
"China is now shifting the driving force of its GDP growth from investment to
domestic consumption… “ in line with the “government's plan to stimulate
overall domestic consumption.” [End of quotes from China Daily]
yes, there are side effects of “consumption.” But if China’s economy falters, the world will
face serious economic problems. CONSUMPTION is one answer. The Story of Stuff misses
that. Next question, how to CONSUME without DESTROYING THE PLANET
335. The Story of Stuff and critics
• There is more to criticize, not just Golden Arrow. Video full of errors
• One critique that makes me think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5uJgG05xUY (we
will check part I, 8:45 to 10:50)
• This critique not balanced either! Neither is Glenn Beck, another critic
• The truth? Probably somewhere in the middle.
• yes, there are side effects of “consumption.” But if China’s economy falters, the
world will face serious economic problems. If the US does not recover, my
brother Mike has no job. CONSUMPTION is one answer. The Story of Stuff misses
that. Next question, how to CONSUME without DESTROYING THE PLANET.
