The Emergence of Eco-Design in China in the ICT Sector

Abstract:

This article presents the preliminary results of empirical research on the emerging practices of EcoDesign in the sector of Information Technology and Communication (ICT) in China. We show that the structuring of the organizational field of EcoDesign is under the constraint of external actor-networks, mainly European regulatory constraints. The central government, relayed by major exporting companies in the sector, has had to build an eco-system of EcoDesign that combines economic efficiency and incentive regulation both in order to achieve strategic goals and to meet the global environmentalist demand.
