1 " Organisational Mechanisms in Environmental Management : Some Empirical Facts "

In this paper we analyse the core elements of the emerging evolutionary theory of the firm through the development of corporate environmental management systems. By stressing the importance of new knowledge creation at the individual and the organisational level for firms’ environmental performance, we propose that effective environmental management capacities derive primarily from the adaptation of three constitutive mechanisms of firms: the incentive mechanisms, the co-ordination mechanisms and the cognitive mechanisms. The environmental management process means a process by which organisations change their structures and cultures as a result of an interlinked effort of individual learning and organisational transformation. Moreover, an analysis of environmental management systems represents an interesting research field for the understanding of the organisational evolution in general.
