Environmental Defense
Abstract
Analyzes the strategy and management of Environmental Defense, a leading environmental advocacy group, emphasizing the group's activity in the energy and agribusiness industries. From a strategy formulation standpoint, the case encourages students to think of the competitive landscape that Environmental Defense confronts: the competition among advocacy groups for funding, media attention, and talented staff. Also useful to executives in businesses affected by social concerns about the environment, who will deepen their understanding of the motives and perspectives of environmental advocates and the opportunities for firms and environmental groups to work together to reach mutually beneficial results.
