Cooperation as a Driver of Development and Diffusion of Environmental Innovation

Environmental management and innovation literature has revealed gaps concerning the influence of business cooperation on environmental innovation and diffusion. Cooperation with external partners in the development of environmental innovation is explored using the Australian Business Longitudinal Database. Complementing this is the exploration of the cooperation of supply chain partners in the adoption of environmental products and processes through three case studies from the manufacturing industry.
