“…that promote sustainability, such as the adoption of socially responsible behaviours towards new citizens and new generations (Janes and Conaty 2005). Less attention has been given to the economic dimension of sustainability (Babbidge 2000;Wild 2011;Lindqvist 2012;Woodward 2012 …”

“…Considering its importance for museum survival, literature on museum management has dealt with economic sustainability independently of the crucial issue of sustainable development (Babbidge 2000;Wild 2011;Lindqvist 2012;Woodward 2012). A museum is economically sustainable if it improves its performances, not only securing additional funding but also using its scant resources better, according to the British model of "efficiency with a conscience" (National Trust, Strategic Plan 2004-2007.…”

Purpose -The theme of sustainability in museums has not been sufficiently explored in the international literature on cultural heritage management as well as few museums are already involved in programs to promote sustainable development. Considering this gap, the purpose of this study is twofold. Firstly, to provide a conceptual model applying the principles of sustainable development to the enhancement of cultural heritage and, secondly, to analyze the case of Marche Region. Design -After analysing the three dimensions of sustainability -environmental, social and economic -and their possible application to museum management, the research tested the theoretical assumptions through an exploratory qualitative/ quantitative survey. Methodology -The structured questionnaire was submitted to a sample of museums and consisted of a wide range of questions, primarily, although not exclusively, quantitative, which examined both museum management and sustainability orientation. Approach -The analysis focused on two different dimensions: the first aimed at understanding the perception of sustainability and the value of its components, the second aimed at investigating museums' willingness and reasons to engage in concrete sustainability-oriented actions. Finding -The field research showed Marche Region's museums have a full awareness of the benefits of sustainable management. However, the lack of a managerial approach to the museums' development compromises their ability to transfer this orientation in operational policies. Originality of research -The paper provides a multidimensional model for measuring the level of museum sustainability, able to analyze cultural and behavioral components. This analysis identifies possible areas of intervention for regional policies aimed at improving sustainability orientation of museums.

“…By having a stronger focus on stakeholder engagement, the integrated approach could potentially lead to improved provision of useful information to stakeholders and improved accountability outcomes for the public sector (Wild, 2011;Bartocci and Picciaia, 2013;Oprisor et al, 2016;Katsias et al, 2017;Guthrie et al, 2017;Manes-Rossi, 2018;Montecalvo et al, 2018;Manes-Rossi and Orelli, 2019).…”

This chapter discusses the potential of integrated reporting for public sector organizations. It emphasises that the public sector is a useful context for exploring integrated reporting, given its societal and sustainability focus. Initially, the focus is on sustainability reporting and the evolution from this form of reporting to integrated reporting. The current status of integrated reporting in the public sector is then discussed. Further studies on integrated reporting and thinking in the public sector are needed to expand our knowledge and understanding of this mechanism and accordingly, the final section outlines future research opportunities.
