Its goals are the consistently sustainable relationships between humans and ecosystems, between humans and other species, and between humans and the biosphere.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis book presents a convincing argument that these goals, and the means to achieve them, can be inferred from empirical information.  It describes how comparisons between humans and other species\n\u003cbr\u003ereveal patterns that can serve to guide management toward true sustainability i.e. ways that are empirically observed to work in natural systems. This objective approach has rarely been possible in conventional management because sustainability is invariably undermined by conflicting human values.'Systemic management' is presented as a specialized process of pattern-based decision-making that avoids the inconsistency, subjectivity and error in current management practice.\n\u003cbr\u003eIt clearly demonstrates how mimicking nature's empirical examples of sustainability can circumvent anthropocentric tendencies to overuse\/misuse human values in management, and illustrates the science\n\u003cbr\u003ebest suited for achieving sustainability through examples of research that address specific management questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46060659867886,"sku":"9780199540969","price":201.62,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199540969.jpg?v=1736517137","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/systemic-management","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
