Do they have the necessary internal  competence? Is any support offered by external parties (i.e. network  involvement)? What are the policy implications? This book is based on  extensive fieldwork, conducted in four traditional industrial sectors:  offset printing, electroplating, textile finishing, and industrial  painting. The work was carried out in Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands,  Portugal and the UK. Twenty company-based case studies were analyzed  and a telephone survey was conducted among 527 companies. As a result,  the Innovation Triangle came to be formulated, which is presented  here, defining and combining the determinants of SME innovativeness.  The Innovation Triangle distinguishes three major determinants of  innovativeness: business competence, environmental orientation, and  network involvement. The Innovation Triangle allows one to diagnose  current environmental and innovation policies, indicating which policy  measures might be effective in increasing the adoption of  environmentally friendly technologies, allowing environmental  objectives to be achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792355618\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-007-0854-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 330\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311618445452,"sku":"9780792355618","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792355618.jpg?v=1771508075","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792355618","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
