The Process of Business/Environmental Collaborations

Description

"Confrontation may be one way of settling environmental disputes but is there another, perhaps better, way? Stern and Hicks say yes - through the process of collaboration. They give executives the practical skills to create and sustain collaborations with environmentalists of all kinds, and environmentalists another way to work with corporations, not as foes but as partners. The book is unique in that it does not demand governmental intervention but puts faith in the disputants themselves to reach amicable, mutually agreeable solutions. Stern and Hicks give advice from other dispute resolution professionals, as well as from their own experience, and organize it in a way that enables decision makers and leaders on both sides to understand and cope with the difficulties they will encounter during the course of a collaboration. Well written and illustrated with real world case studies, the book will come as a relief to corporate decision makers, and as a surprise for environmentalists of all persuasions."--BOOK JACKET.
