Abstract: Abstract Everyday business decisions have an impact on energy. Although many consider energy to be an engineering discipline, the management of it is actually an organizational problem. Behind every electric bill is a piece of equipment that consumed it, a person operating the equipment, a team managing the person, and so on until we reach corporate policies and strategies. This chapter uses energy equations to explore which variables are determined by technical achievements and which are governed by human behavior. This will demonstrate the relationships between business decisions and energy outcomes. Energy strategists need to be aware of these linkages and can use this chapter to diagnose which decisions in one’s organization may have an underappreciated impact on energy.
