Foreign environments: The internationalisation of environmental producer services

Christian Schulz

The Service Industries Journal, 2005, vol. 25, issue 3, 337-354

Abstract: The ‘greening’ of manufacturing firms has created new markets for environmental producer services. Environmental service providers from industrialised countries are more and more forced to internationalise, often due to the international activities of their client firms or to an insufficient offer of such services in the host countries. While knowledge-intensive services in general face problems entering foreign markets, environmental producer services are particularly confronted with specific non-tariff barriers. The latter are not only related to regulatory frameworks, accreditation problems (‘neo-protectionism’) or missing cultural skills, but also to specific aspects such as confidence between service provider and client firm.
