The Role of IS in Achieving the Three Eco-Goals

One approach for guiding the research work in this field could be to examine the role of IS in achieving the three eco-goals:
  • eco-efficiency (DeSimone et al. 1997),
  • eco-equity (Gray and Bebbington 2000), and
  • eco-effectiveness (McDonough and Braungart 1998).
