Abstract
Scientific literature investigating the process of adoption of green innovations (GIs) by technology-based SMEs is still incomplete and fragmented despite their importance for a country's economic development. In this paper, the authors analyse a sample of these SMEs to investigate how they relate to GIs. The findings show that these SMEs follow different approaches toward GIs, their decision being greatly affected by their capacity to establish networks with external partners, as well as by the presence of a suitable business climate. The statistical analysis conducted highlights the patterns followed and provides a geographic representation of the propensity for eco-innovation and networking.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
