Carolina Machado & J. Paulo Davim 
Sustainable Management for Managers and Engineers 

In a competitive and complex world, where requirements from different
fields are ever-growing, organizations need to be responsible for their
actions in their respective markets.
However, this responsibility must not be deemed one-time-only but
instead should be seen as a continuous process, under which
organizations ought to effectively use the different resources to allow
them to meet the present and future requirements of their stakeholders.
Having a significant influence on their collaborators performance, the
role developed by managers and engineers is highly relevant to the
sustainability of an organization s success.
Conscious of this reality, this book contributes to the exchange of
experiences and perspectives on the state of research related to
sustainable management. Particular focus is given to the role that needs
to be developed by managers and engineers, as well as to the future
direction of this field of research.
