Description: "Information Systems and the Environment explores the implications of advances in information technologies (including potential improvements in knowledge management) for setting and meeting environmental objectives for corporations and for sustainable development. The articles are focused on work by individual corporations and knowledge-sharing tools and techniques under development. Case studies of DuPont, General Motors, Lucent Technologies, and Rhone-Polenc are featured, as well as examples of information and knowledge systems that are evolving in the space between corporations and society as a whole. The legal context within which these systems are evolving is also discussed."--BOOK JACKET.
