The environmental innovation literature is dominated by accounts
assuming that ever-improving environmental performance is the
result of the mechanistic implementation of management strategy.
This study instead investigates the politics and contingent
organisational dynamics of investment projects, with the aim to
shed new light on how environmental concerns are integrated into
them. Four case studies in the chemical and dairy industries of
Scotland and Sweden are compared. The analysis of the cases is
focussed on three themes: the relationship of environmental work
and staff with engineering and management, the formation of
environmental championing behaviour and the integration of
environmental motives into the projects. The book is aimed at
academics and policy makers, as it offers a critique of the notion
of cleaner technology and explores the structural limits of
greening, alongside practical advice on how to promote and manage
such greening. It will also be relevant to those with an interest
in the interplay between technology and organisation or in the
greening of industry.
