Chapter Chapter 5 in Sustainable Management, 2011, pp 69-101 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter explains that sustainability is an important contribution towards a system’s survivability. Systems theory, co-evolution and ecology show that taking care of resource relationships is decisive for the relation between a firm and its environments and thus, for the autonomy of systems. Management ecology assumes that it is economically rational for a business to form a household community with its environments. The chapter also discusses the use of the term household in economics, and presents the original meaning of the term as a central building block for a theory of management ecology.
