Looking Back

Looking back at spatial science in the 1960s, I consider ‘the search for order’ as a case of abjection, anxiety about disorder which threatens the pure geometries of economic landscapes. This idea is developed with reference to central place studies from the 1960s, focusing particularly on the work of Woldenberg and Berry, Dacey, and Curry. Acknowledging that spatial order is a feature of economic and social life, I make a case for dialectical thinking and suggest that exploratory data analysis provides one means of examining the interplay of order and disorder.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.
