'This book is an invaluable resource for all those studying natural resources. The splendid collection of chapters shows the diverse ways in which natural resources impact management studies. Comprehensive in character, this text advances fruitful avenues of inquiry and sets a high bar for all that follows.'--Andreas Rasche, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark'An innovative and well-researched book on the importance of managing natural resources from a strategic point of view. This judiciously edited volume provides coverage of a fresh collection of important issues and of a number of rigorous approaches to analyse them. This book is of great interest to all business scholars in the fields of sustainability, environmental management, corporate social responsibility, and natural resource dynamics.'--J. Alberto Aragon-Correa, University of Granada, Spain and University of Surrey, UK'Economic theory has so seriously warped the meaning of ''nature'' that we now view natural resources as an impediment. We speak blithely of the ''natural resources curse'' and the ''Dutch disease'' as if nature is the enemy of human progress. Thankfully, Managing Natural Resources: Organizational Strategy, Behaviour and Dynamics offers a much-needed shift in the conversation. The editors have drawn together 11 delightful chapters that re-enchant the concept of nature as the antidote to an increasingly hyper-rationalized view of the natural environment. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how natural and human resources are intimately connected.'--Roy Suddaby, University of Victoria, Canada and Newcastle University, UK
