Organizational determinants of energy-conservation management

Energy, 1994, vol. 19, issue 10, 1023-1030

Abstract: Energy-conservation activities require new functional and technical activities in all participating organizations and the prospects of effectively managing such activities are contingent upon the specific organizational setting. Based on a previous large-scale investigation in which we identified five organizational archetypes, in-depth longitudinal case studies were undertaken of five organizations in Sweden during 5 years, each organization representing a different archetype. The five organizations have distinct organizational prerequisites and separate basic motivations to engage and succeed in energy-conservation management. Our study reveals distinctive patterns in each case. Implications for government policy and managerial action are discussed in detail.
