Industry Reviews

'. . . this book can be recommended for those who want to explore fresh ground concerning the theoretical and empirical analysis of environmental innovations. Not only does it illustrate the frutility of a behavioral foundation for economic analysis, but it also shows the possibilities of empirically examining these determinants of behavior.' -- Frank Beckenbach, Journal of Evolutionary Economics
'Inducing firms to adopt radical solutions for cleaner production is a key challenge for environmental and innovation policy. Adopting a behavioural approach, this book demonstrates rigorously that environmental standards are not enough; it is absolutely essential to communicate environmental risk to managers and reinforce capabilities within firms. Dealing with the 'In-Bond' industry in the US-Mexico border zone, the conclusions here are relevant in any part of the world. I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in environmental policy for industry.' -- Jim Skea, Policy Studies Institute, London, UK
