Components of business concepts for the diffusion of large scaled environmental technology systems

Environmental Regulation and Enterprise Innovation: A Review

“…Amores‐Salvadó, Castro, and Navas‐López () also showed that an environmental regulation system could positively affect the relationship between the environmental product innovation and market performance of a company. Both Kanda, Tomohiko, and Hjelm () and Klemetsen, Bye, and Raknerud () argued that a poor enterprise system could lead to a short‐term profit‐oriented business mode to hinder the innovation and dissemination of environmental technologies, and that a good enterprise system could foster a long‐term strategy for the business, thereby promoting technological innovation and product innovation. Although the above literatures focus on the impact of institutional factors on enterprises' environmental innovation and environmental performance, these studies do not consider the impact of environmental regulation on the enterprise system itself.…”

“…Wackerbauer (2008) Castro, and Navas-López (2015) also showed that an environmental regulation system could positively affect the relationship between the environmental product innovation and market performance of a company. Both Kanda, Tomohiko, and Hjelm (2016) and Klemetsen, Bye, and Raknerud (2016) argued that a poor enterprise system could lead to a short-term profit-oriented business mode to hinder the innovation and dissemination of environmental technologies, and that a good enterprise system could foster a long-term strategy for the business, thereby promoting technological innovation and product innovation.…”

Decarbonizing the transportation sector: policy options, synergies, and institutions to deliver on a low‐carbon stabilization pathway

“…Reaching a consensus can be difficult because transport is complex and multifaceted, and policy interventions can have unintended consequences . Linking and packaging policies are vital to generate synergies and cobenefits between measures, including linking GHG reduction goals with other sustainable development goals, such as increasing energy security, road safety, public health, increasing economic productivity and air pollution, and improving equity and access . A survey and interviews carried out for this paper among local and national policy advisors in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas show that the lack of funds, lack of suitable technologies, and public opposition are not considered to be the main barriers for the take‐up of sustainable transport measures.…”

Stimulating the diffusion of environmental technologies through export

“…A related project with a more or less similar focus to BMEX was commissioned by Avfall Sverige (the Swedish Waste Management Association) with a nationwide target on municipality owned companies to understand their challenges, drivers, key stakeholders and conditions which influence their export activities. The outcomes from my participation in these two projects were presented in a report to the funding agency (Kanda et al, 2013), and in two scientific articles -one on business concepts, the other on obstacles to and drivers for export -which are appended to this thesis (Kanda et al, 2016a;Kanda et al, 2016d). Insights from this project, particularly regarding the challenges to and drivers for the export of environmental technologies among municipally owned companies led to a smaller follow-up study on international city networks as arenas for export of environmental technologies.…”

“…These are (i) market, (ii) finance, (iii) resources, (iv) activities, (v) partnerships, and (vi) ownership and responsibility. Figure 7: Synthesis of components of business concepts for environmental technology export (Kanda et al, 2016d).…”
