The Impact of Organizations (Routledge-Giappichelli Studies in Business and Management)

The Impact of Organizations: Measurement, Management and Corporate Reporting contributes to the growing debate on the importance of measuring, managing, and reporting organizations’ impact in the interest of companies, stakeholders, and policymakers.

Through theoretical analysis, data analysis, case studies, and collaboration with academics and practitioners in the field, this book offers a comprehensive view of the topics covered and is structured into three main parts: i) from sustainability to impact evaluation and management: a corporate perspective; ii) financial sector, sustainability integration and impact management; iii) impact management to innovate the public institutions. The topics covered in this book contribute to the existing debate on the need to provide companies with tools to measure and manage impact effectively and address the need from businesses and investors for a simplified corporate reporting landscape.

As such, this book represents a useful guide for academics who are investigating this field, for companies and practitioners working on measuring, managing, and communicating impact, as well as students and graduates who would like to pursue a career in the field of sustainability and impact.
