Mines have long lives, companies have little control over the prices at which they sell, prices are volatile, and the environmental impacts of mining are often not well managed. Despite this, the mining industry has received relatively little attention from neither economists nor the wider business community. There is a need to address the unique management challenges raised by this globally important industry.Modern Management in the Global Mining Industry addresses the economics of mining industries and the management of global mining companies in a manner which is both practical and guided by economic and management theory. Leading with the assertion that mining generates substantial benefits for all its stakeholders provided it is well-managed, and that this includes management of environmental impacts, the book argues that mining companies should move to seeing environmental preservation and sustenance of local communities as an objective rather than a constraint. The book will be an important reference for practitioners working in mining and related industries and to researchers of economic and management theory, mining operations, mining engineering and commodities. 606 $aMineral industries$xManagement 606 $aMineral industries$xEconomic aspects 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xManagement$2bisacsh 606 $aBusiness & management$2bicssc 615 0$aMineral industries$xManagement. 615 0$aMineral industries$xEconomic aspects. 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xManagement. 615 7$aBusiness & management. 676 $a338.2 700 $aAdams$b Robin G.$01538842 702 $aAdams$b Robin G. 702 $aGilbert$b Christopher L. 702 $aStobart$b Christopher G. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793711803321 996 $aModern management in the global mining industry$93789254 997 $aUNINA
