Integrated Management Systems

Annotation

This e-book contains leading-edge research regarding the theory and practice of the Integration of (Standardized) Management Systems. Research addressing or studying the implementation of multiple MSSs, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 / CSA Z1000 / ANSI Z10, ISO 27001, ISO 28000 and SA 8000, and the integration of the corresponding systems, for example the ones for quality, environmental, safety, security and responsibility management, is particularly sought after. Some papers appearing in this e-book have a theoretical focus, e.g., providing multiple MSSs implementation and/or IMS models and methodologies, an empirical orientation, e.g., examining the "how, where, when, why, who and what" of the past, present or future such implementations and integrations, or both. Theoretical pieces, review articles, case studies, surveys and other empirical inquiries are all welcome."
