| Abstract
|
:
|
"In Accounting for Sustainable Development Performance, Jan Bebbington creates an in-depth picture of the Sustainability Assessment Model (SAM) and its applications in organisational settings and shows how this particular accounting tool is perceived by project management teams." "Academics and students of sustainability; specialists in the corporate and public sector; public and management accountants and policy makers will all benefit from understanding elements of the sustainable development agenda."

"The book delivers focused and thorough research on internal decision making processes and in particular on capital allocation processes and how they may incorporate demands for Sustainable Development (SD) performance. The work undertaken comprises three elements - the first introduces a context for thinking about accounting for SD performance and proposes the SAM (Sustainable Assessment Model) as one way of achieving this outcome. The second extends its focus to the oil and gas industry more generally to uncover how other organisations operationalise SD in their decision making. Finally, the research extends the industry focus to examine how the construction and electricity generation industries are starting to think about SD performance."--Jacket.
