Abstract
This paper explains that the oil and gas industry, which is one of the largest industries in Pakistan, is a major contributor to the serious pollution problem in this country, whose rapidly growing industrialization is creating grave environmental problems. The author surveyed many companies in the oil and gas sector of Pakistan and discovered that these companies are concerned about the environment and are attempting to control the pollution caused by their company. The paper points out that the only thing lacking is the cooperation of government, which has not assisted by funding and providing resources that would help these companies bring the pollution level down.

"NRL has developed some guiding principles which commits them to the protection of the environment. They have developed plans to minimize harm from any accident and comply with laws and regulations. NRL believes in interaction with government on environmental issues. The recent introduction of 90RON unleaded motor gasoline is an evidence of their concern towards good health and preservation of environment. A number of energy conservation projects have been implemented at NRL. Improvement programs are constantly undertaken to combat pollution in respect of emission and effluent waste water."

Environmental Management, 2008.
A discussion on ensuring that environmental policies are translated correctly by corporations, in order to combat organizational barriers to policy implementation, as discussed in the article "ISO 14001: A Case of Cultural Myopia" published in the Eco-M

Abstract
This paper reviews an article entitled: "ISO 14001: A Case of Cultural Myopia" published in the Eco-Management and Auditing Journal in June, 2000 by John Moxen and Peter A. Strachen and relates that the purpose of the article is to add to the process of evaluation of the efficacy of the ISO 14001 system of environmental management. The paper comments that the system's purpose is for ensuring that environmental policies are translated properly by corporations from the environmental policies into the behaviors of the organization and specifically for combating "organizational barriers to policy implementation." After discussing the situation the paper comments that it is obvious from the review of this journal article that ISO 14001 does not hold great promise for enabling successful and effective environmental management within corporations.
From the Paper
"The danger presented by ISO 14001 is that it has the capacity to create additional barriers to effective and creative environmental management strategies and solutions. The systems of hierarchy prescribed in ISO 14001 are very likely to effectuate what Moxen and Strachen term a "role culture" which is a culture that vests much value in tradition and precedents and observation of rules of a formal nature and is a culture that effectively places impassable barriers to creative and innovative strategic environmental management. Moxen and Strachen conclude by stating that "environmental programmes are more likely to be implemented successfully when environmental management systems are organic and support a task-based culture."

Abstract
This essay argues that science is essential to Canadian resource and environmental management. This paper stresses the need for Science and for scientific research and how the latter is a challenge in a country like Canada that has vast environmental resources but quite a small population and science infrastructure. This paper argues that our thinking has to change and this must come to involve science as well as ethical concern for the environment and its management, towards efforts that are both efficient and cooperative.

Environmental Influence and Risk Management, 2008.
This paper substantiates the statement that the most common causes of project failure lie in the project environment.
1,498 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 13 sources, APA, $ 49.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores whether to support the concept of environmental influence upon the risks involved with projects under project management. The paper discusses how the realms of risk factors are directly relative to their environment and as such are significantly influential upon the possible failure of a managed project. The paper concludes, therefore, that the determination of environmental factors and their direct correlation to the potential risks involved in any project operation is supportive of the statement that the common causes of project failure lie within the project environment.
From the Paper
"Risks are an extremely persistent aspect of project failure and can have any number of varying consequences and repercussions. The assumptions about potential risks involved with the operations of a project are no longer efficient enough to sustain successful completion. The thorough and concise differentiation assessment of both apparent and unapparent potential risks must be exhausted in order to avoid project failure. Project management fully entails this type of research, analysis and determination of project risks. Dissecting the potential for every risk involved with project management is one of the most imperative steps in preparing for each variable that may affect the project."

From the Paper
"Management is not a science. Rather, management is a dynamic process that involves the interaction between the manager in question and the environment he or she is located in. This ?environment? includes the manager?s employees. A manager must be continually aware of shifts and changes, not simply in his or her own national branch of the business he or she works for, but the state of that business as the organization exists in different forms and in different areas around the globe. As cited in Patrick Boylan?s article upon the history of management as a theoretical discipline, Rosemary Stewart has noted that there have been, historically, four academic approaches to studying management."

Abstract
This paper evaluates various management styles and systems that will train and educate environmental, health, and safety (EHS) managers how to compete within the organization for capital and resources. The paper explains that traditionally the EHS function within the organization has served as a cost center with the primary responsibility of the EHS department being maintenance of compliance with regulatory authorities and in general to keep the workers safe without impacting production speed or product quality negatively. The paper looks at how the EHS manager has an opportunity to advance the department from cost avoidance to profit center. The paper then examines how this manager re-frames his/her worth within the organization and competes for resources (capital budget, added head count etc.) to develop and fund new technologies and projects. The paper also reviews various styles of EHS management as well as skills needed by the EHS manager to effectively implement the EHS management systems. The paper concludes that there is a great need for more research in this subject area as well as a need for formation of models that better suit today's EHS requirements.
Outline:
Objective
Introduction
I. Overview of EHS Management within the Organization/Corporation
II. Environmental Management System (EMS) Overview
III. MIT Institute Environmental, Health and Safety Management Systems Model
IV. Corporate Social Responsibility & the Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) Movement
V. The Need for Ongoing Education in this Management Position
VI. Five Basic Models for Organizational Change
VII. Five Ideal Types of EHS Management
VIII. Collaboration with Community Agencies and Cooperative Initiatives for Success
a. Management and Local Chapters and Trade Associations
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The EHS manager must be an effective communicator and a salesman as the EHS manager works to effectuate a comprehension of the need for safety and the importance of compliance to stakeholders and workers in the organization. The EHS manager must necessarily be equipped with proper education and training to effectively implement the standards necessary once having been established and the ideas sold to those in the organization. Naturally, requirements exist in terms of finances and specifically costs associated with non-compliance and unfortunate injuries but as well in terms of costs associated with receiving a negative screening by funding entities and investors."

Placebo Environmental Policies, 2007.
This paper describes the use of placebo policies in the management of Canadian environmental issues.

Abstract
This paper explains that placebo policies in environmental management are used by some government entities to mislead the government on its anti-environment agenda. The author cites specifically the Harris government in Ontario, which imposes policies that seem to be for the environment but are not, and the Saskatchewan Environmental Society, which has a more effective history depending on implementation. The paper relates that placebo policy has the effect of manipulating public opinion on the issue, reducing public input and participation in the process of making policy, and rolling back earlier environmental initiatives.
From the Paper
"A number of placebo policies can be found in Ontario, such as the government's attempt at manipulating public opinion on the issue of urban smog. When a highly publicized smog patrol program was introduced, along with summer gasoline volatility limits to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions by 2 per cent, analysts found that overall VOC emissions were expected to rise by 10 per cent per decade as a result of other government policies that promote urban sprawl."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and examines organizational and environmental factors affecting human resource management. Part II discusses organizational factors affecting human resource management. In Part III, environmental factors affecting human resource management. Lastly, this paper concludes with recommendations for addressing the organizational and environmental factors affecting human resource management.
From the Paper
"Human resource managers are like jugglers and tightrope walkers in some respect, i.e., they must balance the need to hire, retain, and train the employees who are the best qualified for the job while ensuring corporate profits steadily rise and corporate expenses hold steady at a reasonable level. As today?s workforce becomes increasingly diverse, human resource managers are being faced with increasingly complex organizational and environmental factors that affect human resource management. These organizational and environmental factors have resulted in human resource managers evolving from old school sideline coaches to front-line fighters. Employees are crucial to an organization?s success and human resources managers must ensure that they are maximizing every individual?s abilities, knowledge, qualifications, and skills."

"Within days of taking office the first time, William Jefferson Clinton initiated his 'governing by memoranda' activities. This article begins with his immediate overturning of the Bush I gag rule concerning abortion, and then went on rapidly to other birth-control issues, gays in the military and more. Because of these rapid and far-reaching actions, the concepts of policy tools has become one open to more scrutiny than before Clinton began his series of 25 presidential memoranda and 18 executive orders that "implemented the administration's reinventing government initiatives." Among the important memoranda this article analyzes was Executive Order 12898, the purpose of which "was to 'focus Federal attention on the environmental and human health conditions in minority communities and low-income communities with the goal of achieving environmental justice'." The memorandum, however, "specifically involved" civil rights laws already on the books and required to be used by federal agencies in, arguably, all the agencies' endeavors."

Abstract
This paper explains that, to understand the importance of water resource management, environmentalists must understand the importance of the geography and political structure of Abu Dhabi, one of seven Emirates in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), which is a feudal society with absolute power in the hands of the Sheikh and his ministers, located on the Arabian Peninsula. The author points out that the region has a fragile ecosystem, which already shows the effects from oil exploration, transportation and processing. The paper stresses that water is a precious commodity in the desert and every country in the region is actively investigating the options to make the best and most effective use of this commodity. Many charts, diagrams and illustrations.

From the Paper
"Environmental protection groups and governments are constantly engaged in a struggle to critically identify the measures that can be taken to protect and save the environment. The need to develop a consistent tool that can be used universally by all countries is increasingly being stressed upon. One such tool is the Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI). A product of the World Economic Forum, the ESI has been created to measure countries based on a wide-ranging and comprehensive set of factors that are designed to 'rank' to country. In reality, many of the issues and the concerns that are displayed in the ESI relate more to the concerns of the Western's more developed nations and many of the developing countries around the world feel pressurized to maintain standards that are not ideal for their situation."

Abstract
This paper examines how, if a company wishes to reach its fiscal and production goals, it must have a healthy workforce, healthy in psychological and social sense. It evaluates how the ombuds program can lift a burden from HR management and assist employees seeking advice and assistance, but only if rules are followed carefully. It shows how HR management can also become more efficient by becoming a bigger part of the overall company strategy and how, if and when diversity training takes place within a company, the HR professionals responsible for the training must have a long-term strategy. It looks at how implementing fair policies and lawful changes to existing policies, calls for innovative methods and a look at the big picture ? otherwise, employees quickly know that the training is just HR going through the motions.
From the Paper
"With this HR time management factor in mind, and in an effort to ward off illegal, improper, or unethical employee behavior ? before the behavior gets way out of hand ? some HR departments are turning to ombuds (short for ombudsman or ombudspeople). What does an organizational ombud do? An ombud offers informal, confidential assistance to employees who want someone to listen to their concerns on an immediate basis ? but they also want their concerns to be addressed discreetly. So, rather than wait days or even weeks to be able to get an appointment with the HR management team member, an employee may set up a much quicker meeting with an ombud, and be able to at least get the problem off his or her chest."
