520 A paradigm shift is happening at this moment. Firms and
consumers are aware of the fact that they cause
environmental pollution, depletion of resources and are
responsible for the dangers involved. At the same time
awareness is growing that they need to and will develop
the appropriate solutions in the time to come. The idea
that sustainable, cyclic businesses are more logical than
consumption-oriented and waste-dumping ones seems
fascinating to a growing number of people. For this change
to happen new thinking and behavior is needed. Firms and
consumers play a central role in a sustainable business.
Companies deliver what consumers buy and vice versa. In a
sustainable paradigm, companies are able to develop and
produce sustainably. Therefore, companies need new
management concepts for sustainable investment,
manufacturing, logistics and marketing and for sustainable
management. In Managing Environmentally Sustainable
Innovation, Bossink evaluates the innovation chain in a
process of five consecutive stages, articulates five
levels at which people collectively manage the chain, and
analyzes the interplay between the two. Acquainting the
reader with the complexities of innovation, as well as
which complexities are active in the management of
environmental sustainability, this book offers guiding
principles and a toolbox for the management of
environmentally sustainable innovation in construction
