Research focus

Here my past and current research focus:

- What is peculiar in the development of environmental innovations (as respect to other innovations), especially as far as the resources and capabilities needed to develop them;

- Tensions and trade-off in environmental sustainability: understanding how organizations can go beyond the business case perspective toward sustainability, and overcoming the means-end divide needed to effectively reduce impacts on the environment;

- how firms can support the greening of their value chains, considering production activities are currently highly fragmented & internationally dispersed;

- how new 4.0 technologies can support reduce environmental footprint of firms

- factors supporting firms and individuals to adopt adaptation (vs mal-adaptation) strategies
