Synopsis

For over 200 years, a quarter of the world's population has engaged in indiscriminate economic development. The earth has been damaged to such an extent that the very basis of existence is threatened. This book argues that industry must now pursue a programme of sustainable development. There must in fact be a second industrial revolution. Products must be more durable, reconditioning and recycling technologies must be given greater priority, and new, cleaner energy sources must be tapped. All this calls for a considerable re-think, towards which this book aims to be a contribution.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Davis shows that the developed and developing world must now pursue ′sustainable development′ requiring high levels of directed innovation. Industrial and commercial businesses of all kinds must bring about what amounts to a second industrial revolution.

Managers at all levels must accept responsibility for this fundamental change. Products must be more durable. Repair, reconditioning, reuse and recycling must be maximized.

This important book, now available in paperback, provides managers and students with practical strategies with which to respond to these challenges.
