“…Beaumont and Tinch (2004) find that the abatement cost curve methodology proves to be a valuable management tool in identifying barriers to achieving the win-win state, or at least win-draw scenario for industry and the environment, and also in providing future direction for the waste management strategy. Cerin (2006) supports Porter hypothesis and finds the private incentives to explore the win-win development by applying the Coase theorem that emphasizes transaction costs and property rights. This paper argues that strong public support is needed to create private incentives for exploring economic and environmental win-win innovations.…”

SUMMARYPorter Hypothesis states that environmental regulation may lead to win-win opportunities, that is, improve the productivity and reduce the undesirable output simultaneously. Based on directional distance function, this paper proposes a novel dynamic activity analysis model to forecast the possibilities of win-win development in Chinese Industry between 2009 and 2049. The evidence reveals that the appropriate energy-saving and emission-abating regulation will result in both the improvement in net growth of potential output and the steadily increasing growth of total factor productivity. This favors Porter Hypothesis.

“…The time-period considered for this survey starts from 2000, when the scientific debate started (in line with [30,38,61,68]). In order to include in the literature analysis all the relevant papers, we selected them in two steps, coherently with the suggestions of Luederitz et al [66]: (I-A) Data Screening, which concerns the search in the established databases through the established keywords; and (I-B) Data Cleaning, which concerns the evaluation of each papers selected in the previous (I-A) step, in order to decide their inclusion in the research sample, based on the coherency of the title, abstract and full text with the research sub-question (i).…”

Abstract:The interest of scientists and companies in understanding the business implications of environmental investment is timely; however, a dilemma remains at the firm level: is the environment a "strategic competitive factor", as in the "Porter point of view", or is it a "luxury good", as in the "Wagner point of view"? Our research contributes to this debate through a review of the papers published in scientific journals between 2000 and 2015 that discussed the direction of the relationship between the environmental and business performances of enterprises. The objectives of the research are: (a) to verify if there is an agreement in the scientific literature of the last 15 years about the "Porter-Wagner dilemma" when focusing at the firm level; (b) to underline the prevalent cause and effect directions of the relationship between environmental and business performance; and (c) to investigate the reasons for any disagreements in this topic among the scientists. The results show that the main agreement regards the positive bi-directional relationship, as a virtuous cyclic approach with mutual effects between business and environmental performance; nevertheless, more complex hypotheses emerge, such as nonlinear and/or conditional relationship, that need to be further explored. On the other hand, the Porter-Wagner dilemma remains, and the main reason for the non-agreement among scientists can be due to the several non-homogeneous variables considered in the analyses. Thereafter, as lesson for scientists, the priority is to share univocal methods to measure firms' environmental and business performances.

“…This symbol conveys effective information from a provider to a user: this product should not be disposed of in a regular dustbin from an environmental viewpoint. As is explained by Cerin (Cerin 2006), this type of information flow has potential to decrease the environmental impact. However, everything is not covered by regulations.…”

This chapter endeavours to lead the scientific discussion regarding which IPSE factors are expected to, in theory, lower the environmental impact of a life cycle compared to a traditional product sales business. To do so, the IPSE concept is introduced, first with an emphasis on engineering processes rather than an object such as PSS. In the following sections, four aspects from theory will be discussed: product development, information asymmetry, economies of scale, and risk. These sections discuss how environmental impacts are influenced from a product life cycle perspective, and highlight crucial factors theoretically. They are followed by an overall discussion and an examination of some promising future work. The chapter provides the research community with a first theoretical cornerstone regarding environmental performance by IPSE. To practitioners, it will be an eye opener for how they engineer
