The Natural Advantage of Nations: Business Opportunities, Innovation, and Governance in the 21st CenturyKarlson Hargroves, Michael H. Smith Earthscan, 2006 - 527 pages This book is more than just a 'palliative care' guide for the planet. It is about innovation, solutions, competitiveness and profitability. At work, at home and as members of society, our generation has an opportunity - to be part of the obligation - and an exciting solution in restoring the balance. The authors present a bold vision for the future and demonstrate how we can get there, drawing on lessons of competitive advantage theory and the latest in sustainability, economics, innovation, business and governance theory and practice.
