Abstract: Systems thinking and multi view approaches, which are a must for a successful establishment of a sustainable business and modern green trends, are of great importance. The idea that business has a responsibility other than producing goods and services is not new. In 1919, Henry L.Gantt stated his belief that the community would attempt to take over business if the business system neglected its social responsibilities. Everybody speaks of technological development only, although it is causing increasing unemployment around the world and other problems such as motivation and environmental degradation, including a dangerous climate change. Congenial and stimulating atmosphere, promoting relaxed free and unimpeded activities, work satisfaction and satisfaction with co-operation with others, are all elements distinguishing excellent performance. When implementing changes, employees should be motivated adequately. Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) and Assessment(LCA) are essen!
tial, worldwide, to front-running businesses and public authorities. In their drive towards sustainable consumption and production, the life cycle perspective helps decision makers in business and government to take into account all the resources consumed and environmental impacts associated with the supply, use, and end-of-life of goods and services (products).
