| Abstract: | Industrial ecology is a new approach to production that entails redesigning and zoning industrial processes in order to recover or eliminate waste, thereby increasing profitability and competitiveness while reducing environmental problems. The approach may offer solutions to many of the problems facing developing countries, but its implementation requires addressing some issues about innovation and the dissemination and uptake of new management concepts and technologies. An attempt to adapt an Internet-based market mechanism to support the preliminary stages of the development of an industrial ecosystem in a relatively poor country, namely Jamaica, is described in this article. |
