Developing a framework to identify barriers of Green technology adoption for enterprises

摘要

Adopting an appropriate green technical solution matching with the enterprise operational features is not only essential task of its green sustainable ambition, but also a key process in the successful commercialization of technology. The fundamental challenge is to recognize the possible barriers in the process of green technology adoption and transformation, which leads to a full understanding of the supporting resources required to overcome these obstacles and facilitates decision making on green technical options. The goal of this work is to establish a comprehensive barrier identification system for green technology adoption at operational level. The framework consists of two dimensions including competence and psychology, which is driven from the previous researches related with organizational ecology theory and organizational psychology theory. Thereafter operational recognition indicators are explored with the perspective of extended life cycle theory which may be confronted in green technology adoption. According to the nature and logic of recognition system proposed, FAHP with triangular fuzzy evaluation is applied into the identification system, and the practical computation procedure is designed. Meanwhile, a case study demonstrates the application of the recognition system. It may extend academic discussion of sustainable operation and narrow the gap between sustainable strategy and green operation in practice meanwhile limitations of the research are also concluded in the end of the work.
