Management professor Scott Herriott published a textbook in December titled Feasibility Analysis for Sustainable Technologies: An Engineering-Economic Perspective.

Business Experts Press published the 300-page book as part of their Environmental and Social Sustainability for Business Advantage Collection, edited by Chris Laszlo, the well-known author of Embedded Sustainability.

Dr. Herriott's book walks readers through a feasibility analysis of a renewable-energy or energy-efficiency project. Included are a basic description of the technology, cash flow analysis, and examples of a variety of sustainable projects. The book is useful to business students and to sustainability professionals who are responsible for implementing sustainable technologies.

Business Experts Press will also publish a European edition that will describe public policies for sustainable technologies in a European context. It will be co-authored by Sharon Gerge, director of the MSc program in environmental sustainability and green technology at the University of Keele in England.

Dr. Herriott has been a professor at Maharishi University of Management (MUM) since 1990. He received his BA degree in mathematics from Dartmouth College and his PhD in management science and engineering at Stanford University. He taught at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Iowa for six years before joining MUM. He teaches economics, finance, operations management, strategic management, and sustainable business. He is the author of a dozen scientific papers on economics, organization, and business strategy.
