Despite the possibility that problems concerning business administration and organization can be relevant to the effects of the environmental management system of an organization, few studies have investigated those managerial aspects in evaluating the desirability of a new management system, much less in empirical analyses. This study aims for the integration of organizational management with environmental management in order to fill this void in modeling the firm, and attempts to evaluate the real benefits achieved. Grouping corporate environmental policies for ISO 14001 into substantial strategy and symbolic strategy, this study found that only substantial adopters of ISO 14001 could elicit its real benefit.
