- Summary:
- French business scholars show how the two similar though distinct notions reflect the growing awareness since the 1970s of interactions between economic activity and its external environment. Among their topics are sustainable development as a vague and ambiguous theory; sustainable development of large network service companies: inhabiting territories via middle managers and strategic scanners, human resources scanning as a possible tool for implementing sustainable development, the greenhouse gas inventory as a scanning tool in the fight against climate change, and the risks and impact of business actions and projects on the environment.
