“…Costantini et al (2011) intègrent une variable régionale pour comparer les performances environnementales de différentes régions italiennes. Un possible effet « district industriel » est évoqué par Mirata et Emtairah (2005), qui suggèrent le rôle d'« industrial symbiosis networks » dans la diffusion de l'éco-innovation. Cette dimension a donc été peu mise en avant dans la littérature et présente des effets potentiels divers.…”

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les facteurs qui influencent le comportement d’adoption d’une innovation environnementale par les firmes industrielles françaises et de décliner, à partir d’un modèle général, trois modèles d’adoption des innovations environnementales selon l’objectif de l’adoption, c’est-à-dire si elle renvoie à une stratégie liée à la demande, aux coûts ou à la réglementation. Un modèle économétrique permettant d’analyser les caractéristiques favorables à un comportement innovateur est testé sur une base de données individuelles sur l’innovation représentative de l’industrie française (CIS8). Les résultats mettent en évidence le rôle structurant des caractéristiques internes de la firme, la coévolution avec ses autres formes d’innovation et l’influence de son environnement externe sur son comportement en matière d’adoption d’éco-innovations. Ils montrent que ces facteurs jouent de manière différente selon le profil stratégique de la firme.

“…As suggested by Mirata and Emtairah [103], IS networks create ecological and competitive advantages by incorporating a set of similar approaches, such as the continuous and symbiotic relationships involved in local activities, in which various resources, materials, energy and knowledge are exchanged [103] (p. 994). As the concept of IS leads to the creation of economic growth for local companies' involvement and decreases the environmental impact due to the efficient consumption of energy, it is a win-win situation and provides both economic and environmental sustainability.…”

Nowadays, the horse industry can be considered as an important industry in European countries and has a major role in agricultural industry throughout the world. Although today the diversity of the horse-related companies provides new markets and business opportunities, there are also some sustainable issues which needs to be addressed. Therefore, this study contributes to this research gap by reviewing the concept of sustainability and existing approaches to find sustainable solutions for companies. These sustainable approaches can be applied to products, services and technologies as well as business models, such as the product-service-system (PSS), circular economy (CE) and industrial symbiosis (IS). Although there seems to be a growing understanding of sustainable approaches and their role in sustainable development, there is a lack of research at the empirical level regarding the types of sustainability approaches (i.e., technologies, services, products and business models) that evolve in specific industries. The empirical data in this research have been collected from a cross-section of Finnish horse industry operators to determine how willing companies are to exploit approaches to sustainable solutions, as well as what the existing sustainable solutions are in this industry. The response rate of this study is approximately 24 percent, including 139 received valid responses among the sample of 580 operators.

“…However, for the purposes of the present article, there seem to be two perspectives that best link the concepts of IS and innovation. The first is attributable to the study conducted by Mirata and Emtairah [15] as part of the IS program hosted in Landskrona (Sweden). In a survey conducted among the managers of the companies involved in the program, the positive role of IS with respect to innovation activities carried out in the area, in particular, environmental innovations, was demonstrated.…”

“…In the literature, there is still much debate on how to make the IS successful [7][8][9] and about the factors that affect its implementation, including technical and organizational aspects, regulatory issues, companies and stakeholders involvement, and economic feasibility [10][11][12][13]. Networking and innovation are also recognized as crucial aspects [9, [14][15][16]. Networks of companies, due to the geographical proximity and the acquired tendency toward collaboration among the entities involved, in particular in the operating forms of industrial clusters or districts, are considered to be one of the most promising contexts for IS.…”

Industrial Symbiosis, Networking and Innovation: The Potential Role of Innovation Poles

In the literature, there is much debate on how to make Industrial Symbiosis (IS) successful and on the factors that may potentially affect its implementation, including networking and innovation. They have so far found limited space for investigation in favor of other technical and economic aspects, such as the nature of the processes involved, regulatory issues, economic feasibility, and stakeholders involvement. However, in some cases, they may become relevant, especially when considered together and in their synergistic interaction. An interesting context to be considered in this respect is that of the Innovation Poles (IPs), which are government-sponsored consortia, created within EU programs with the objective of stimulating innovation within network of organizations and that promote the competitiveness in specific industries or value-chains at a local or regional level. In the present article, we firstly discuss how these topics have been so far addressed in IS studies, and then we analyze the main features of the IP model with the aim to understand if, and through which mechanisms, it can contribute to the development and spread of IS. A literature overview through desktop analysis and direct research, which particularly focused on the Italian IPs, provided the knowledge basis of the study. The results highlight the positive role that the IP model could play, both for its institutional activity of production and dissemination of knowledge and innovation, and, mostly, if considered as an applicative context for IS.
