AN Research on Energy Management and Cooperation Performance in Eco-Industrial Symbiosis Network

Abstract

With the rapid development of economy and technology, enterprises in eco-industrial symbiosis network (EISN) are facing enormous challenges. However, the emergence and development of EISN is closely tied with the energy management in eco-industrial park (EIP). This paper takes institution construction, allocation and new technology of energy management, cooperation performance and long-term cooperation relationship into research and develops a theoretical model of energy management accordingly. We conduct statistical analysis and Structural Equation Modeling using SPSS17.0 and AMOS17.0 based on 241 valid questionnaires from the EISN enterprise managers. The findings indicate institution, allocation and new technology are significantly positively related to cooperation performance, and cooperation performance has positive significant influence on long-term cooperation relationship. Based on the above results, the relative strategies and suggestions of strengthening energy management to enhance cooperation performance are given.
