A reflexão sobre as práticas ambientais, em um contexto marcado pela degradação permanente do meio ambiente e do seu ecossistema, tem exigido novas posturas das organizações. Contudo, adotar a gestão ambiental como estratégia de desenvolvimento, contempla as necessidades das organizações em aliar crescimento econômico e sustentabilidade. Neste sentido, este artigo tem como objetivo identificar se existe a preocupação com as questões ambientais por parte das organizações da região da Quarta Colônia e se as mesmas adotam programas de gestão ambiental, analisando fatores que podem influenciar nas diferentes abordagens dadas ao tema. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa em um estudo considerado exploratório e compreendido como estudo de caso. A amostra foi de cinco organizações da Região da Quarta Colônia onde foram realizadas visitas técnicas e entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Como resultado significativo do estudo, pôde se constatar que as organizações estudadas limitam-se apenas às exigências da legislação ambiental em vigor. Assim as organizações necessitam adotar novas posturas e um processo de atualização contínua que pode ser viabilizado pela gestão ambiental. Palavras-chave: Gestão ambiental; Quarta Colônia; organizações; desenvolvimento.

Today, Kazakhstan has accumulated a huge amount of environmental, social and ecological problems that prevented the development of the country on a stable basis. The economic growth of the country is mainly due to rising prices for raw materials on world markets and the use of a significant amount of natural resources. At the root of many social and economic problems of the Republic of Kazakhstan is historically an imbalance when the country consumes resources disproportionately in comparison with their production.

This study discus the Fluctuations on Iraqi Economic Growth using  linear programming approach.  This article proposes an operational approach for research to maximize customer satisfaction by optimizing the quality levels of numerous quality attributes of a physical product within the limits of the manufacturer's requirements. The linear model of programming has been shown using the data acquired for an example bicycle product. The optimal values for the quality of selected bicycle quality features have been calculated using  optimization software. A cost-benefit analysis for some quality features of the crude oil was conducted to validate the proposed model. The model discussed in this article considers not only pleasure of customers but also satisfaction of the producer with the costs associated with the product
