In recent years, the necessity for sustainable business practices has experienced exponential growth, prompting industries worldwide to reassess their operations from an environmentally conscious perspective. The emergence of green management as a new paradigm in the world of business underscores this shift toward ecological responsibility. This book, Green Management: A New Paradigm in the World of Business, delves into various facets of green management and its implications for businesses globally. The compilation of chapters within this book offers a comprehensive exploration of diverse topics pertinent to green management. From examining the trends and regulations surrounding green finance to investigating the impact of sustainable human resource management practices on employee retention, each chapter contributes valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of green management. One chapter delves into the discussion of sustainability within healthcare systems amidst the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, comparing the approaches of Germany, France, Italy, and Turkey. Another chapter explores the intersection of internal and external corporate social responsibility with organizational competitive performance, particularly within the banking sector in Sri Lanka.

Additionally, the book evaluates the application of green economy policies, such as those observed in Switzerland, to regions like the Karabakh area of Azerbaijan. It also scrutinizes the role of energy in human well-being through a case study from Jordan and explores green public procurement practices in Asian countries.
