| Tiivistelmä: | Managing the natural environment is becoming increasingly important to manufacturing firms; yet managers are also being asked to simultaneously make changes to improve their firms' competitiveness. Just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing has long emphasized reducing waste. Similarly, pollution prevention stresses reducing pollutants before they are created. During field work in five furniture manufacturing firms and a subsequent survey in 1994, the author observed links between investment in JIT and improved environmental performance. |
