Environmental Groups: What do we want from business?

Environmental Defense Fund (Ruta) - A new book came out titled, Good Cop/Bad Cop: Environmental NGOs and their Strategies toward Business.   Edited by Tom Lyon, Director of the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan, the book is a deep examination of the drivers behind NGO engagement with business and the ways in which NGOs have influence in the corporate sector.

How do national or global groups differ from local organizations, and why?  How are these groups funded, and what impact does that have on their agenda and tactics?  How does the way a group is organized influence its strategy and results?  All of these questions are addressed and more. If you’re looking to really delve into the world of NGOs and about how they think and pursue their corporate strategies, take a look at this book.
