“…In recent years, society has become increasingly aware of the importance of protecting the environment and the planet's natural ecology (Bonilla et al, 2010;Kanji, 2008;Pedroso, Cella-deOliveira, Dutra, & Morozini, 2012;Surjono, 2011). This has resulted in tougher environmental standards for the business community.…”

“…This has resulted in certain locations coming to be seen as pollution paradises (Christmann & Taylor, 2001). In Brazil's case, the adoption of sustainable practices is still low despite the existence of laws, because there is inadequate supervision to ensure that organizations are respecting the environment (Bonilla, Almeida, Giannetti, & Huisingh, 2010 On the other hand, as suggested by Peng, Wang and Jiang (2008), institutional forces play a central role in the formation of business strategies in emerging countries due to the strong legacy of government or political involvement in business affairs (Kang, 2011).…”

This article analyzed the correlation between strategic praxis related to environmental management in Santa Catarina industrial companies and their strategic practices. This quantitative study is based on the theoretical foundations of environmental management and strategy as practice. Praxis (environmental management) is understood as a cluster of three perspectives: product design, main processes and support system. The data were collected by way of an online questionnaire, with 225 completed and submitted to canonical correlation multivariate analysis using SPSS software, confirming the hypothesis that there is a correlation between companies' praxis (environmental management) and strategic practices. However, the correlation best represents the original variables at the support system level, seeking to value the correlation. Likewise, not all original variables make up the new canonical variable, which suggests that there are new implications.

Sustainability and Innovation in the Automotive Sector: A Structured Content Analysis

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study aims to analyse the scientific literature on sustainability and innovation in the automotive sector in the last 13 years. The research is classified as descriptive and exploratory. The process presented 31 articles in line with the research topic in the Scopus database. The bibliometric analysis identified the most relevant articles, authors, keywords, countries, research centers and journals for the subject from 2004 to 2016 in the Industrial Engineering domain. We concluded, through the systemic analysis, that the automotive sector is well structured on the issue of sustainability and process innovation. Innovations in the sector are of the incremental process type, due to the lower risk, lower costs and less complexity. However, the literature also points out that radical innovations are needed in order to fit the prevailing environmental standards. The selected studies show that environmental practices employed in the automotive sector are: the minimization of greenhouse gas emissions, life-cycle assessment, cleaner production, reverse logistics and eco-innovation. Thus, it displays the need for empirical studies in automotive companies on the environmental practices employed and how these practices impact innovation.
