Abstract

Germany provides a dynamic environmental policy context based on a comprehensive network of regulation and increasing use of market-based instruments. It is widely recognized in Germany that the ability of companies to respond positively to the business opportunities afforded by this depends to a large extent on the knowledge, understanding and skills of their management personnel. This has been identified as a major professional challenge by the providers of business management training in Germany. Evidence is presented for an effective process of liaison and co-operation between academic institutions, industrial companies and environmental policy-makers. The educational output of this process is described in terms of an integrated environmental business management curriculum model which is firmly embedded in current industrial and policy-making practice. This curriculum model is evaluated in terms of its ability to promote the German national economic interest and also in terms of its likely contribution to sustainable development in the German economy.
