How do small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) adopt
environmental innovations? Do they have the necessary internal
competence? Is any support offered by external parties (i.e.
network involvement)? What are the policy implications? This book
is based on extensive fieldwork, conducted in four traditional
industrial sectors: offset printing, electroplating, textile
finishing, and industrial painting. The work was carried out in
Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and the UK. Twenty
company-based case studies were analyzed and a telephone survey was
conducted among 527 companies. As a result, the Innovation Triangle
came to be formulated, which is presented here, defining and
combining the determinants of SME innovativeness. The Innovation
Triangle distinguishes three major determinants of innovativeness:
business competence, environmental orientation, and network
involvement. The Innovation Triangle allows one to diagnose current
environmental and innovation policies, indicating which policy
measures might be effective in increasing the adoption of
environmentally friendly technologies, allowing environmental
objectives to be achieved.
