“…The in-depth case study of BWTS shows that the ballast water regulation is certainly the main factor behind the development of BWTS. This is therefore an example supporting the perception that environmental regulation is often the cause of eco-innovation (Köhler et al, 2013;Walz and Köhler, 2014). However, the regulation itself explains little about the emerging service and product-service combinations in the industry.…”

“…This extension of the PSS approach is generalizable to other industries with similarly complex OEM-supplier structures, where new eco-technologies are being developed for the product. Two examples of this are the development of fuel cells and batteries in the automobile industry (Köhler et al, 2013). The in-depth case study of BWTS shows that the ballast water regulation is certainly the main factor behind the development of BWTS.…”

Eco-innovation research pays increasing attention to business models and their contribution to the diffusion of environmental technology into socio-technological systems. The extent to which a business model hampers or promotes certain types of eco-innovations remains an open question. In order to shed light on this issue, the authors develop a conceptual framework to show how a specific type of business model (ProductService Systems) could be applied to the context of the maritime industry. With a focus on the Danish maritime industry, the case study addresses two questions: Which business models are being used to develop, install and service the ballast water treatment technology? And, How can these business models add value to the ballast water treatment systems in the market? The case shows that different business models are applied depending on whether the installation is on new or retrofitted vessels. Both installation and operation stages of ballast water treatment systems provide opportunities for collaboration among stakeholders. Based on the Eco-costs/Value Ratio model, the authors perform an analysis of on-board and port-based ballast water treatment systems with the aim to propose a possible product-service system. These results suggest that portbased systems have the highest potential for eco-efficient value creation and a possible product-service system can be designed for this kind of technology. The article highlights the point that authorities need to improve regulations to stimulate port-based ballast water treatment systems rather than on-board ballast management systems.

“…Também na análise desta categoria revelou-se o desafio de se criar tecnologias para a ampliação de economias de escala (Gavronski, Klassen, Vachon, & Nascimento, 2012;Köhler et al, 2013), tanto para Alpha no caso do liner, quanto para Beta no caso dos materiais que possuem dificuldade tecnológica para reciclagem, o que gera altos custos de processamento.…”

“…O primeiro se revelou de extrema importância para a emergência da criação de tecnologias que possibilitem a ampliação de economias de escala (Gavronski et al, 2012;Köhler et al, 2013), que é uma importante lacuna que limita a extensão dos processos de aprendizagem para a inovação ambiental, já que os custos econômicos envolvidos nos projetos representam uma forte barreira a ser suplantada.…”

Resumo Conforme as questões ambientais orientam as ações das empresas por meio de sua agenda de inovação, a aprendizagem organizacional surge como importante elemento de análise. Sugere-se que as noções de aprendizagem organizacional e aprendizagem para a sustentabilidade devam convergir, estabelecendo-se como antecedentes do próprio processo de inovação ambiental e denotando, a partir deste ponto, um novo campo de análise - o da Aprendizagem Organizacional para a Inovação Ambiental. Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar os indutores que determinam a aprendizagem organizacional para a inovação ambiental. Para tanto, foi elaborado um modelo conceitual de análise que foi aplicado por meio de um estudo multicaso em três empresas. Das diversas variáveis analisadas, a regulação, o papel do empreendedor, o trabalho de Pesquisa & Desenvolvimento (P&D) em redes e a existência de um processo de gestão ambiental se mostraram influentes para a consolidação do processo de aprendizagem. Infere-se que as influências das variáveis do processo de aprendizagem organizacional para a inovação ambiental diferem quanto à intensidade em função do modelo de negócio adotado, do grau de autonomia dos gerentes, do tipo de educação ambiental recebido pelos funcionários, do ambiente cultural e do perfil do empreendedor.

Innovation for inclusive development aims not only to produce products and services for 'base of the pyramid' (BoP) markets, but also to improve innovative capacity and empower those that form part of the BoP. Although a wide range of actors aim to support innovation for inclusive development, they lack proper methods to assess the impact that these projects have. This paper sets out to identify an appropriate method or approach for evaluating systems change brought about by innovation for inclusive development projects. Based on a systematic literature review, a process-level approach is proposed. This approach is focused on the components within a system and the changes that occur in the system functions. OPSOMMINGInklusiewe innovasie beoog nie net om produkte en dienste aan die basis van die piramide mark te verskaf nie, maar ook om hul te bemagtig en kapasiteit vir innovasie te verhoog. Innovasie rolspelers streef daarna om inklusiewe innovasie te bevorder, maar daar is 'n tekort aan voldoende metodes wat gebruik kan word om die impak van inklusiewe innovasie projekte te evalueer. Die doel van die studie is om 'n toepaslike metode vir die evaluasie van stelsel veranderinge, wat deur inklusiewe innovasie projekte meegebring is, te identifiseer. 'n Proses-vlak metode, wat fokus op die komponente in 'n stelsel en die veranderinge wat plaasvind in die stelsel se funksies, was voorgestel op grond van 'n sistematiese literatuurstudie.
