| Abstract: | This article reports results of a 1993 questionnaire survey of how UK companies have been innovating technologically in response to environmental pressures. The survey sought to identify factors stimulating UK firms to innovate more environmentally friendly products and processes, and to investigate the changes in R&D activity they have undertaken to facilitate such innovation. The authors have been strongly influenced by the theoretical frameworks developed over the past 15 years which describe technological developments in terms of "selection environments" and "technological trajectories". |
