In this article, we explore the dynamics of environmental innovations developed by firms to comply with environmental regulations. Our analysis is based on a micro-simulation model of industrial dynamics. The question arises: how do firms competing in the same industry deal with environmental...

This paper provides a framework for the analysis of clean technology which covers the factors inducing, stimulating and constraining environmental innovations of firms. Such a framework relies on recent empirical and theoretical contributions to environmental innovations. The representation of...

In this article, through the case study of the Aquitaine forest-wood-paper filière, we emphasize the need for integrating a stronger consideration of natural resources in the analysis in terms of innovation systems. Based on the main specificity of this sector, i.e. its important dependence on...

The purpose of this chapter is to highlight how evolutionary theory can provide an adequate framework for sectoral studies. It sets out the broad outlines of such an approach focusing on key concepts, while suggesting lines of interpretation of industrial dynamics. The concrete illustrations...

Today, environment is the wine growing main “focusing problem” because it questions the dynamics of its activities. Evolutionism allows an appraisal of this dynamics in a specific perspective aiming the integration of environmental innovations into technological trajectories. Starting from...

[eng] A current theory about the autoindustry mutation claims that it will bring about the end of "Fordism". This paper attempts to assess wether the Ford M C's recent strategies preserve the essential feature of Fordism or alter the model's nature. From the exemple of a french subsdiary plant,...

Based on the main specificity of the wood filière, i.e. its strong dependence on the wood resource, the present article focuses on how this dependence configures the Aquitaine region‚Äôs wood innovation system. More particularly, we attempt to analyze the effects and impacts of...

BELIS-BERGOUIGNAN M.-C., BORDENAVE G. and LUNG Y. (2000) Global strategies in the automobile industry, Reg. Studies 34, 41-53. This paper views the multinational firm as a learning hierarchy , and presents a model capable of analysing the spatial organization of multinational firms. This model...
