With two case studies, we showed how, when any of the factors of ''willingness'', ''opportunity'' and ''capacity'' on the parts of the transferor and transferee were overlooked or misjudged, success would be compromised. Finally, a scheme that focused on concurrently increasing these three factors was proposed as a checklist for selecting appropriate technology for transfer. 2004-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/115578 An overview of the special issue on Industrial Ecology Ashford, Nicholas A.; Côté, Raymond P. 1997-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/115570 The Effects of Health and Environmental Regulation on Technological Change in the Chemical Industry: Theory and Evidence Ashford, Nicholas A.; Heaton, George, R. This paper presents the final results of a research effort which investigated the effects of environmental/safety regulation on technological change in the U.S. chemical industry. (1) The term environmental/safety regulation is used to include the legislation, regulations, and other related actions which attempt to control environmental pollution, protect worker health and safety, or ensure the safety of consumer products. Technological changes arising from regulation encompass both the immediate modifications in manufactured products or industrial processes which may be necessary in order to comply with regulation and the more indirect, or ancillary, effects regulation can have on technological change for non-regulatory, "main business" purposes. The major emphasis in this work is on technological change for compliance purposes. We distinguish technological change from innovation. Innovation means new product or process technology actually brought by a firm into first commercial use. The term technological change has a broader scope and includes "non-innovative" changes. 1979-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/115567 The Influence of Information-Based Initiatives and Negotiated Environmental Agreements on Technological Change Ashford, Nicholas A. 1999-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/115049 Aligning Policies for Low-Carbon Systemic Innovation in Europe Ashford, Nicholas A.; Renda, Andrea This report considers potential policy options to promote ‘systemic innovation’ that foster decarbonisation, with a specific focus on the EU. By using the term ‘systemic’, we point to a variety of domains in which innovation can occur – not only technological, but also organisational innovation, (brought about by disruptive new business models); institutional (by revising both legal and economic incentives); and societal (requiring a change in consumption and behaviour), and emphasise how entire systems (e.g., energy, mobility, shelter) can be transformed through socio-economic change. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
