SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF AN ENTERPRISE – FUNCTIONAL APPROACH
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Management Studies - Year 2014, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Sustainable enterprise management is a young, only just developing field of knowledge, being a branch of sustainable science. It emerged to meet the global need to protect the Earth, on which enterprises are located and operate. Sustainable management is a response to the deteriorating health of our planet. Growing ecological and social problems have led to a high degree of unsustainability of economies and environments in which most enterprises operate despite sustainable development efforts made for many years. It is a threat to the existence of future generations. Sustainable management makes it possible to reverse the detrimental tendencies because it aims not only to achieve economic but also ecological and social goals. In order for sustainable management to be used in enterprises, planning, organizing, leading and controlling have to be adjusted to its needs. These functions are the essence of managerial work and they determine the results of the enterprise activity. In the field of sustainable management they adopt the form of sustainable planning, sustainable organizing, sustainable leading and sustainable controlling. Sustainable management used in millions of enterprises all over the world would undoubtedly contribute to the balance of intergenerational needs, being the evidence of wisdom and responsibility of present day managers.<br/><br/>
