Businesses in carbon-constrained markets
Large numbers of businesses are now driving emissions-reduction programmes through their global supply chains. As a result, the business landscape is fundamentally changing in character. The new dynamics are forcing businesses to respond in tune with each other as high levels of carbon reduction and synchronicity are established across business webs. The result is a highly connected business environment with new rules and new dynamics.
Industrial ecology & business webs
The research work focuses on new frontiers in the development of organisations, ecotechnologies and infrastructure. It explores critical transitions that can be expected to occur over the next decade and some of the major challenges that need to be faced. The work has shown how new forms of corporations may emerge and what the key risks are in terms of their safe operation. New forms of corporation are likely to emerge rather quickly and a theory of morphogenesis is used to describe the evolution of corporate landscapes. The theory shows how investment in low-
DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR THE ECOCORPORATION
This research focuses on the design principles for ecocorporations operating within emissions-constrained global markets. Principal areas of study involve evolutionary pathways, nonlinear dynamics, organisational stabilities, regulatory frameworks and environmental restoration.
