Abstract: Utilising natural resources demands for an effective management of knowledge, transport facilities, and resource supply. The essay looks at the pulp and paper industry’s use of water and wood to analyse this inter-connectedness of business and environmental history. In reference to Chandler’s view of business development as a process of growth and organisational differentiation, this is described as an internalisation of environmental aspects into the firm.
