“…Our intention is not to provide the design of a GMA but rather to make available a meta-model based on OR in the environmental field for current and future managers of companies. This is particularly important if we are taking into account the current needs of establishing bridges between High Education and managing companies in a sustainable way [19]. The methods included in our GMA "are not prescriptive, in that it will never tell us how to conduct an intervention.…”

Abstract. In this paper the authors present a meta-model aiming to support decision-makers that wish to know more about how to use systems models to cope with the integration of environmental concerns into the company strategy. This is made by using a General Morphological Analysis (GMA) to bridge the gap between Operations Research (OR) analysts, decision-makers and stakeholders, making all of them part of the problem structuring and formulation process, particularly in societal issues like the environmental ones. The novelty of this approach is two-fold: (i) there are no examples in literature of a GMA research that address a linkage between environmental practices, strategic objectives, and the integration of stakeholders in the decision-making process at the level of a company; (ii) there is no GMA that had covered all the phases of a decision-making problem (problem definition, problem analysis and problem solving) in such a context.
