| Research Abstract |
This research project aimed to explore the role of MFCA (material flow cost accounting) in the interconnection with existing environmental management systems. We employed triangulation approach in this project; the case studies for several Japanese companies, comparative questionnaire research with international colleagues and constructing the managerial model for integrating sustainability within corporate strategies. Our research showed a different organizational change process from the linear change models, which employ informational effectiveness assumption for monetary expression of environmental issues in organisations.
