Abstract

Maturity models enhance the performance of companies by prescribing a trajectory through stages of increasing capability. However, a recent review of maturity models concludes that current maturity models hardly meet the design principles required for prescriptive use. To address this deficiency, we conducted semistructured interviews and a Group Model Building study with industrial companies in Spain in which we studied the progression toward a Leading Green Company as the highest maturity stage of environmental management. The findings from the study were tested using surveys with enterprises in Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom, semistructured interviews in the United Kingdom and case studies in Spain. Using these data sources, we develop a causal model that captures an idealized environmental management maturity dynamic progression though stages. By mapping maturity stages to feedback loops connected to actions to improve those maturity levels, system dynamics can help companies articulate policies for transitioning toward higher maturity stages.
环境管理成熟度:动态验证的作用
成熟度模型通过规定能力增长阶段的轨迹来提高公司的绩效。然而,最近对成熟度模型的回顾得出结论,当前的成熟度模型很难满足规定性使用所需的设计原则。为了解决这一不足,我们对西班牙的工业公司进行了半结构化访谈和集团模型构建研究,其中我们研究了作为环境管理最高成熟阶段的领先绿色公司的进展。通过对西班牙、意大利和英国企业的调查、英国的半结构化访谈和西班牙的案例研究,对研究结果进行了检验。利用这些数据源,我们开发了一个因果模型,该模型捕获了理想的环境管理成熟度在各个阶段的动态进展。通过将成熟度阶段映射到与改进这些成熟度级别的行动相连接的反馈循环,系统动力学可以帮助公司阐明向更高成熟度阶段过渡的策略。

期刊介绍: Organization & Environment encourages informed discussion about the social roots and consequences of environmental problems and stimulates deeper reflection on the meaning and significance of the natural world. By critically examining the impact of human production and consumption systems on the natural environment, Organization & Environment develops new perspectives on organizations that encourage environmentally sensitive reflection, inquiry, and practice.
