This paper aims to outline three main dimensions of environmental management research in Germany as an exemplary case of the growing importance and development of ecologically oriented management in Western societies in general: (1) to describe the development and the main features of this research; (2) to summarize the results obtained so far (1992–1993); and (3) to assess both its development and results from the point of view of its broader social context. This should allow the reader to draw his/her own conclusions on the position and perspective of environmental management (research) in his/her own country. In this paper, environmental management refers to environmentally oriented management of and in (business) organizations in general, and not just to specific substantive environmental practices.
