Abstract

Energy efficiency is one of the most effective means for achieving sustainability goals, yet its adoption, particularly in electric motor systems, remains limited. Insights into the dynamics between contextual elements and efficiency measures can lead to more informed decision‐making. This paper presents a framework to explore the role of context in adopting these measures from the perspective of industrial decision‐makers, considering both broader business settings and specific applications. The framework is validated through a comprehensive literature review and empirical investigation using semistructured interviews with experts in electric motor systems. The investigation indicates that context impacts both the characterization of an efficiency measure and its effects on company resources and operations. Crucial contextual characteristics, such as company size and process centrality, emerged as key factors in adopting energy efficiency measures in electric motor systems.

为什么环境对工业能源效率很重要：电机系统的框架

能源效率是实现可持续发展目标的最有效手段之一，但它的采用，特别是在电动机系统中，仍然有限。深入了解上下文元素和效率措施之间的动态关系可以使决策更加明智。本文提出了一个框架，从工业决策者的角度探讨环境在采用这些措施中的作用，同时考虑到更广泛的商业环境和具体的应用。通过对电机系统专家进行半结构化访谈的全面文献综述和实证调查，验证了该框架。调查表明，环境既影响效率措施的特征，也影响其对公司资源和运营的影响。关键的背景特征，如公司规模和过程中心性，成为在电机系统中采用能效措施的关键因素。

期刊介绍： Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
