Value of Eco-services and the Organization [4]

This presentation will be made by Dr. Stefano Pogutz, from the Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. The presentation discusses a theoretical research paper co-authored with Prof. Monika Winn, University of Victoria, Canada. In the paper we introduce critical concepts of ecology and biophysical principles to management studies, aiming to bridge the divide between greening management studies and ecological sustainability. Moreover, we introduce and integrated theoretical model of ecosystem embeddedness of organizations and we suggest three clusters of sustainable fir strategies which firms can use to achieve long-term competitive advantage. We argue that firms depend on ecosystem health and ecosystem services, while simultaneously impacting ecosystem as a byproduct of their operation. We combine the constructs of organizational ecosystem dependence and organizational ecosystem impact and we try to capture the interdependence of relationships between human organizations and nature.
