Description & Coverage
Description:

Although social, economical, and environmental sustainability has become increasingly important in this era of globalization, little effort has been put forth to investigate the social and cultural impact.

Organizational Communication and Sustainable Development: ICTs for Mobility explores how mobility meets sustainability in contemporary organizational communication. A compendium of chapters written by leading international experts, this defining body of research sheds light on the advantages as well as disadvantages of the use of ICTs for social, economical, and environmental sustainability.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Communicating in multicultural firms
  • Communication in global development projects
  • Gender and Technology
  • Geographical perspectives on regional communication policies
  • Green urban planning
  • ICT and environmental management practice
  • ICTs for business enterprise mobility
  • Philanthropy, CSR, and sustainability
  • Tools for corporate assessment of sustainable development
  • Workplace location and ICTs
Reviews & Statements

The overall aim of the book is to develop an understanding of how the different perspectives of sustainable development, globalization and technical development interact, through managerial as well as general human actions, and which measures can be taken to secure sustainable development.
