The Evolution of Organizations and Natural Environment Discourse

Some Critical Remarks

Piia Nordberg

Turku School of Economics

In this article, the authors analyze some of the developments and weaknesses in organizational environmental studies and make an effort to evaluate the field's current status, role, and future prospects. During recent years, the field of management and organizational studies has witnessed environmental research gaining a secure foothold, especially in quantitative terms. It is questionable, however, whether it is actually organizational environmental studies that has arrived or whether the discourse is in fact only a minor annex or a slight modification of the same old themes in management and organizational studies. This is because of the fact that it is still too early to say that organizations and natural-environment-related research would have been able to develop its own theory base and legitimate posture in relation to the management and organizational studies.

Key Words: organizations and natural environment • corporate greening • environmental management • environmental history • management and organizational studies • introspective analysis
